Maxello Magic

The performer hands a spectator a deck of cards and instructs him to make sure all the cards are different, and to then shuffle the deck in any manner he desires. At that point a rubber band is placed around the deck and the deck is sent out into the audience where three different spectators each peek at a card and commit it to memory. THERE IS NO DECK SWITCH.

Upon return of the deck – which is not inspected in any way – the performer correctly divines the three thought-of selections in the manner of the classic Tossed-Out Deck.

"A very fine method and presentation... I would recommend it unhesitatingly." - Herb Zarrow

"First a word of advice. Trust me when I suggest that all well seasoned 'workers' toss out your Tossed-Out-Decks! That's right: get rid of them!

Once you experience David's In Flight, you will be in command of the most bewildering and diabolical feat of pure mentalism one could imagine. I can personally attest to the stunning impact this effect had on the very knowledgeable attendees at the 2004 4F convention.

Included with the ingenious deck and professional script, David has been granted permission to share a 'wonderful subtlety' of Wayne Dobson's. On a personal note: in the early days I became friends with the legendary David Hoy and witnessed his signature performance of this effect on many occasions. If possible, Mr. Hoy would be the first to give In Flight a standing ovation." - Roger Klause

Comes complete with a specially manufactured deck of cards, rubber bands, a 10-page booklet detailing David’s complete routine, and, with permission, a special tip from Wayne Dobson that will turn the revelations into a sure fire applause cue!

"It fits in my wallet and is with me at all times. I really like the way Rodger thinks! Play Time is a keeper." - Stephen Bargatze

"Thanks Rodger, your 'Play-Time' is my new favorite trick to carry in my pocket." - Mac King

The Magician has two cards selected from a deck of cards. He tells the spectators that a lot of people ask him, "How long have you been doing magic?"

The magician then shows the spectators an old black and white photo of himself as a child. The small child, age one, is holding a playing card. The magician tells the spectators that "A picture is worth a thousand words."

He tells the first spectator that on the reverse side of this picture is another photo of me holding a face up card. The magician asks the first spectator to reveal their selection. The photo is turned over and the child star is holding a playing card. It's a Match!

The magician turns the photo face down on the table and asks 2nd spectator to reveal his selection. The magician then asks the 2nd spectator to turn the photo over. The photo has changed to match the other selected card!

• Only one photo is used.
• It never leaves their sight!
• Easy to do.

Rodger Lovins has been creating magic for over 30 years and this may well be his ultimate creation. Don't pass this one up!
