Vortex by Dan Harlan

Reality slips. Cards fuse. Eyes don’t believe it.

From the mind of Dan Harlan comes Vortex—a strange, visual card moment that feels less like a trick and more like a real-life special effect.

A spectator selects a card. You openly display that card and another of the same value. Everything looks normal—until it isn’t. In full view, the two cards begin to behave as if they’ve fallen into a time warp… visually connected in a way that shouldn’t be possible.

It’s the kind of moment that makes people pause mid-reaction and ask, “Wait… did that actually just happen?”

Vortex is built around an ingenious gimmick that lives comfortably in your everyday carry, letting you perform this anywhere, anytime. The handling is straightforward, the visuals are bold, and the effect is wonderfully unusual—perfect when you want to break patterns and give your audience something they’ve never seen before.

• Ends clean
• Easy to perform
• Highly visual
• Unusually memorable
