Designed by the legendary Phil Goldstein, this trick is perfect for both close-up performances and stage shows. With its blend of practicality, efficiency, and visual impact, Shinkansen is sure to leave your audience spellbound.

Effect

The magic begins with four red-backed cards, which are displayed and given to a spectator to hold. Next, a set of blue-backed cards is presented, and a second spectator is asked to think of any one card. The two spectators stand far apart, each holding their respective packets.

In a moment of pure astonishment, the card that was merely thought of vanishes from the blue packet and materializes in the red packet. The effect is produced with the utmost fairness, leaving no room for doubt or suspicion.
