Inferno by Joshua Jay
Card-Shark
Burn an imaginary deck of cards, reach in to the flames and save just ONE card from burning; THEIR selection!
Joshua Jay has worked for years on a seemingly-impossible goal: a NAMED card appears in a matchbox.
- No deck
- No riffle force
- No complications
Just one card in play, inside the matchbox...the NAMED card.
Sound too good to be true? What if we told you that this effect was easy to do, easy to reset, and was entirely self-contained.
Perform...
- Without sleeves
- Without pockets
- Without preparation
If you have the matchbox (included), you‘re ready to go. Inferno is the complete package: you get an instructional download starring creator Joshua Jay, specially-printed "scorched" card, and the matchbox.
You'll be lighting it up with Inferno within minutes.
Additional Info:
1. ALL you need for each performance is the matchbox. No cards are palmed in, and you don't have any kind of index. It's totally self-contained inside the matchbox.
2. There is no sleight of hand to speak of. If you follow along with the download once, you will be ready to perform the effect. There are a few things to remember, but technically, the effect is quite easy.
3. Everything is examinable at the end. When you're done, the participant is holding her thought-of card, and the matchbox it came from. And, both props are totally legit.
4. Although the demo shows a close-up performance of Inferno, in fact the effect plays just as well (if not better) in a parlor situation. There are also no angle restrictions whatsoever. Do it surrounded if you like.
Rarely does an effect come about that fits in a shirt pocket and can be done anytime, anywhere. We hope you enjoy Inferno, and we know your audiences will.
