Description & Effect
Unleash the Power of Impossibility with Shinkansen
Phil Goldstein's 'Shinkansen' redefines the classic 'Cards Across' plot, delivering an effect so clean and impossible, it feels like pure magic. This is not just another card trick; it's a reputation-maker designed for magicians who demand efficiency, practicality, and a truly stunning impact. Whether you're a close-up performer looking to astound a small group or a stage magician commanding a large audience, 'Shinkansen' provides a versatile and jaw-dropping solution that leaves spectators utterly bewildered.
The Effect: A Thought-of Card Transcends Space
Imagine this: four red-backed cards are openly displayed, counted, and entrusted to a spectator. Another set of blue-backed cards is shown, from which a second spectator merely *thinks* of any single card. With the packets held far apart by both participants, a palpable tension fills the air. Then, with the utmost fairness and without a single suspicious move, the mentally chosen card vanishes from the blue packet, only to miraculously reappear within the red packet held by the first spectator! There are no sleights of hand to detect, no suspicious movements - just pure, unadulterated magic that defies explanation.
Everything You Need for a Seamless Performance
Your purchase of 'Shinkansen' includes everything required to perform this miracle right out of the box. You'll receive a detailed, 16-page instructional booklet meticulously written by Phil Goldstein himself, ensuring every nuance and subtlety is covered. The clear, concise instructions are beautifully complemented by full illustrations from Tony Dunn, making the learning process a breeze. Furthermore, seven specially-printed cards on genuine Bicycle stock are included, custom-made to make this extraordinary effect possible.
