Unlock Unforgettable Gumball Magic

Dive into the extraordinary world of 'Novel Effects with a Gumball Machine' by master magician Devin Knight. This groundbreaking ebook (digital download) reveals secrets to transform an ordinary gumball machine into a powerhouse of impossible magic. Imagine gumballs, each marked with a unique card value from Ace to King. Once prepped with a fine-tip Sharpie, these everyday sweets become the key to unlocking miracles that defy explanation. This isn't just another card trick; it's a fresh, captivating approach to magic that will set your performances apart. The clever integration of a familiar object like a gumball machine creates an instant connection with your audience, making the subsequent impossibilities even more impactful.

The Impossible Poker Demonstration

Prepare to stun with the signature 'Impossible Poker Demonstration.' A spectator shuffles the cards, and three poker hands are dealt face down. They freely choose any hand – absolutely no force involved. After discarding unwanted cards as in a standard draw poker game, the magician introduces a twist: the hole card comes from the gumball machine. The spectator states their desired card for a winning hand, inserts a quarter, turns the crank, and incredibly, out pops a gumball with *exactly* the card value they needed! This unbelievable feat is then immediately repeated with another free choice, culminating in a second perfect winning hand. Throughout this mind-bending routine, you, the magician, never touch the gumball machine, enhancing the illusion of genuine spectator control and pure chance.

Two Killer Climaxes

Devin Knight provides not one, but two sensational endings to elevate your performance. In the first, the spectator shuffles the cards, selects one (again, no force), and loses it in the deck. The combined values of the two 'lucky' gumballs are revealed, and when the spectator counts down that exact number of cards, their freely chosen card appears – all without the magician ever touching the deck! The second climax involves a sealed 'JACKPOT' envelope, given to the spectator *before* the poker deal. After the effect, they select a card based on gumball values, with a completely free choice in the method. The selected card astonishingly matches the prediction inside the envelope, which the spectator opens themselves. Both endings are designed to utterly 'fry' even seasoned magicians, ensuring maximum impact and unforgettable memories.

Beyond Poker: More Miracles Await

This comprehensive ebook extends beyond incredible poker and card revelations. You'll learn additional effects where cards and gumballs combine for astounding results. For instance, imagine a spectator naming a two-digit number, inserting two quarters, and watching as two gumballs emerge, both bearing that exact number. Devin Knight meticulously details a foolproof, 100% surefire method for this incredible prediction, among other ingenious routines. This digital download empowers you to add novel, engaging, and truly magical elements to your repertoire, captivating any audience with the charm and mystery of a gumball machine.

Original Specs

Gumballs are marked with card values from A to K using a fine-tip Sharpie. Once this is done, you have everything you need to create miracles.

Sleights appear impossible as the hole cards come from the machine, and the hands to play are freely chosen by the spectators.

Effect #1: IMPOSSIBLE POKER DEMONSTRATION

A spectator shuffles cards. Either the magician or the spectator deals out 3 poker hands face down. Spectator is given a free choice of any hand (NO FORCE OF ANY KIND). He then turns the hand over and is asked to play by discarding any card (as he would in draw poker). Magician states that instead of the deck, the person will put a quarter in the gumball machine, and the value on the gumball will be his HOLE CARD.

He asks the spectator what would be the best card he could get. Say the spectator says "four". He puts a quarter in the machine and turns it, and out comes a gumball with a 4 on it, giving him the winning hand he needs!

IMMEDIATELY you gather the cards and deal 3 more poker hands. The person is AGAIN given a free choice of any hand to play, discards what he doesn't want, and once again inserts a quarter into the gumball machine.

Yes, the value on the gumball that comes out is what he needs the most to have the best winning hand possible! Magician never touches the gumball machine during the trick, and the selection of what hand to play is a totally FREE choice with NO FORCES of any kind.

TWO KILLER ENDINGS ARE POSSIBLE FOR A CLIMAX

1 - Spectator gathers up the cards and shuffles them. The magician NEVER TOUCHES the cards at any time. The person selects a card (no force of any kind) while the deck is in their hand. He then cuts and loses the card in the deck. Magician asks the person the total of the values on the two gumballs that came out at random. Say they total 12. The person counts down 12 cards and there is the very card he selected!

Remember the magician never touches the deck, and the person really shuffles the deck, yet the gumballs locate the card they freely selected. This routine will fool seasoned magicians.

2 - The 2nd possible ending. A sealed JACKPOT envelope is given to the person to hold BEFORE the poker deal effect. The cards are gathered up, and the person is asked to select a card in a fair manner based on the values of the gumballs. They are given a FREE choice in how the card is selected. You point out that if they do things differently a different card will turn up.

Magician NEVER touches the cards. The spectator turns over the card he selected and it matches the card in the envelope. He removes the card, not you. No switches, no extra cards in the deck. Once again this will fry seasoned magicians.

Many other effects are explained using only cards and gumballs. A person names a two-digit number and inserts two quarters into the machine. Two gumballs come out with the same number. Devin gives you a fool proof method that is 100% surefire.
