Description & Effect
The Ambitious Paradox: A New Era for Card Magic
Prepare to revolutionize your perception of the classic 'Ambitious Card' routine. Javi Benitez's 'Ambitious Paradox' is not just another variation; it's an incredible journey that transforms a familiar plot into a mind-bending illusion. Imagine taking a deck of cards and, before your audience's eyes, turning it into an impossible object they'll never see coming. This routine is designed to astound, baffle, and leave a lasting impression, elevating your close-up magic to extraordinary heights.
The Unforgettable Performance
The routine begins with a spectator signing a card, immediately disproving any notion of duplicates. This signed card is then clearly inserted into the middle of the deck, only to impossibly rise back to the top. This mesmerizing sequence is repeated, with the magician playfully suggesting a 'small spring' inside the deck is responsible for the magic. But the true paradox unfolds at the climax: the entire deck, in a breathtaking moment, visibly transforms into an accordion-like 'spring' shape, before effortlessly returning to loose, shufflable cards. It's a visual spectacle that defies logic and must be seen to be believed.
Beyond the Standard 'Ambitious Card'
What sets 'Ambitious Paradox' apart is its ingenious construction. Unlike many 'Ambitious Card' routines, Javi Benitez's method is shockingly easy, thanks to the custom 'Spring Deck' gimmick you receive. The sleights are minimal and straightforward, making it accessible for magicians of all skill levels, yet powerful enough to fool even the most experienced practitioners. A critical advantage: there's absolutely no deck switch required. The same deck used for the ambitious card sequence is the one that undergoes the incredible spring transformation, always remaining in plain sight of your audience. This directness creates an undeniable, magical experience.

This is not just another Ambitious Card Routine! The Ambitious Paradox is Javi Benitez's incredible routine around the Spring Deck, which allows you to transform the entire deck into an impossible object that the audience will never see coming.
A card is signed by the audience to disprove the use of duplicates. It is inserted in the middle of the deck in the clearest manner possible, and yet it rises to the top of the deck. The magician explains that there is a small spring in the deck that lifts the card, and offers to repeat the effect multiple times. Then, at the end of the routine, the entire deck transforms into the spring shape, like an accordion, before transforming back into lose cards that can be shuffled. You need to see the ending in the performance above to believe it!
You receive the Spring Deck gimmick along with a tutorial video that explains the ins and outs of the routine. The sleights used in Javi's routine are all easy, and they take advantage of gimmicks that you receive to make it even easier than a standard Ambitious Card, and fooling even to magicians. Best of all, there's no deck switch required - the same deck that you use for the Ambitious Card sequence is the one that turns into the spring, and the deck never leaves their sight.
