Magic Video - Burning Angel by John Rivav
Description & Effect
Unleash the Fiery Mystery with Burning Angel
Prepare to captivate your audience with 'Magic Video - Burning Angel' by John Rivav, an ingenious card trick that defies explanation. This isn't just a trick; it's a narrative of 'twin souls' and impossible coincidences that will leave your spectators utterly spellbound. Imagine this: a shuffled deck, two freely selected cards. One is signed, then seemingly lost back into the pack, which is immediately secured inside its card case and given to a spectator to hold. The second chosen card remains in another spectator's hand throughout.
The Spectator's Astonishment
As the magician, you declare that these two cards are intrinsically linked, sharing a profound, mystical connection. Holding the second card, you introduce a lighter, and with a dramatic flourish, you appear to burn a specific detail on its back—one of the angels on the bicycle design. The audience watches, transfixed, as the angel visibly singes. Now for the truly impossible climax: when the spectator holding the card case opens it, they discover that the *signed, lost card* inside has also been mysteriously burned in the exact same spot! Upon turning it over, it's undeniably their original, freely selected card, bearing the mark of the 'burning angel'. What makes this even more astounding is that you, the magician, never once had contact with that card after it was initially selected and placed into the case.

Original Specs
John Rivav – Burning Angel
You show a pack of cards， shuffle it and ask two spectators to select each one a card. One of the cards is signed， lost in the pack and you put the pack inside the card box. You give the card case to the spectator to hold. The second card is in the spectators hand all the time. The magician explains that both cards are twin souls and everything that happens to one card will happen to the other. The magician asks for the card that the spectator holds and shows a lighter. The magician proceeds to burn the back of the card， specifically one of the angels on the bike. If everything works as planned inside the card case that is held by a spectator should be a burned card. When the cards are removed from the case he finds a card with a burned angel， when it's turned over it is the same card he freely selected. The magician did not have contact with the card.
