Magic Video - Five Card Suit by Bill Abbott
Description & Effect
Elevate your beloved 5 Card Opener/Box routine to legendary status with 'The Five Card Suit' by Bill Abbott and Steve Hamilton. What was already considered a perfect opener now receives a made-to-measure upgrade, infusing a new dimension of visual comedy and surprise. This brilliant addition isn't just a trick; it's a full theatrical experience that literally doubles the laughs, taking your audience on a nostalgic, humorous journey.
The Ultimate Costume Change
Steve Hamilton's genius lies in a three-phase costume change that's both unexpected and uproariously funny. Imagine starting your performance in a surprisingly small, custom-sewn blazer, trousers, and bow tie – a nod to your 'first magic show' suit. The magic then unfolds through two more hilarious transformations, each revealing a more comical ensemble, from short sleeves, shorts, and suspenders to a final, side-splitting onesie with a printed design and bow tie. This visual gag perfectly complements the 5 Card Opener's storyline, making your performance unforgettable.
Professional Quality & Effortless Integration
Each 'Five Card Suit' set is meticulously handmade and assembled in Canada, ensuring a professional-grade prop that stands up to repeated performances. The attention to detail in the custom sewing and assembly reflects its premium quality. Designed for maximum comfort and convenience, the entire outfit hangs by an adjustable velcro band, accommodating neck sizes up to XXXLarge, truly offering a 'one size fits all' solution. Integrating this prop into your existing 5 Card Opener/Box routine is a breeze, instantly boosting your production value, humor, and surprise elements without complicated setup. It packs flat and compactly in its included plastic folder, making travel and storage incredibly simple.

Your purchase includes an extensive online digital instruction package, ensuring you master every nuance of 'The Five Card Suit.' Learn from the masters themselves with live performances by Bill Abbott and Steve Hamilton, detailed guides on prepping the suit, performing and displaying it effectively, resetting after your show, and even crucial microphone considerations.
