The Eerie Performance Revealed
The experience begins with a simple, antique-looking wooden box. You recount its mysterious past, perhaps a relic discovered in a dusty shop, hinting at an unseen presence. A spectator freely selects and signs any card from a shuffled deck, placing it back anywhere they choose – no forces, no hidden controls. The spectator then begins to deal the cards, one by one, into the open box. Suddenly, with a dramatic and startling slam, the box lid snaps shut! The dealing stops. The spectator is asked to check the card they're holding... it's their signed selection. The effect is immediate, visually stunning, and leaves audiences utterly dumbfounded, wondering if they've just witnessed a genuine spectral phenomenon.

Do you believe in ghosts? You will after witnessing this...
The magician displays a simple wooden box, purchased several years ago from an antique shop. The magician explains that when he arrived home and opened the box, he noticed a faded picture of Harry Houdini, "The King of Cards." This picture wasn't in the box when he first purchased it. From time to time, the magician noticed the box would produce strange noises at night, a "slamming" sound, as if the spirit of Harry Houdini haunted it.
The magician demonstrates these strange occurrences under the most stringent of test conditions:
He opens the lid and removes a deck of cards and a standard Sharpie Pen (or pen of your choice).
A spectator is invited to select ANY card from the deck and sign its face. The card is then placed ANYWHERE in the deck by the spectator. This is a 100% FREE choice.
The spectator then mixes the cards and is asked to deal them, one by one, into the box. SUDDENLY the lid of the box SLAMS SHUT, as if telling the spectator to stop dealing. The magician asks the spectator to turn over the card they are holding in their hand... it is the signed card!
