Original Specs
Hi everyone -- my name is Learned Chang, and I am from China. I am going to share a trick with you. Ask an audience member to sign their name on a card and it is returned to the deck. You then stick a thumbtack into the side of the deck. Throw the deck against the wall or towards the table and, magically, the thumbtack gets impaled onto their signed card! This is inspired by Practical Magic. I created a new gimmick, by which you don't need two of the same cards, nor do you need to do anything behind your back anymore. It's cleaner and visually shocking. I have developed many routines for this gimmick, which are explained in detail in this new video download. Enjoy it!
