Phil Card Trick

EFFECT: A deck of cards is set down on a table. A spectator is asked simply to think of any playing card, and the magician says he will name it. After a moment of thought, the performer declares, "The name of your card is Phil! You know, short for Phillip!" The audience is understandably a bit surprised. The pack is removed and then shown to have different names printed boldly on the back of every card. When the deck is turned face up and the card named by the spectator is found, it is the one and only card named Phil!
Historical Note: The basic plot of this routine goes back to Fred Lowe's "Christened Reverse." Over the past few decades, many methods have been devised. It turns out that Trevor Duffy reinvented a version that was created by Phil Goldstein in the early 1980s, entitled "Final Fred." That routine had its debut in a lecture at the 1985 FISM convention in Madrid. The issue of this prior invention has now been discussed by Duffy and Goldstein, along with the ironic coincidence of its title, and we are pleased that an equitable arrangement has been made, and this item is being marketed with Phil Goldstein's approval.

This is a nice twist on using sponge magic and cards. The magician starts by
visibly pulling the pips (center spots) from each of the four aces. As each pip
is removed from and ace, it becomes a two inch sponge. The magician can continue
each pip from the other three cards. As a finale, the magician place the heart
pip in the hand and the other three in the pocket. When the hand is opened to
reveal the heart, it has grown into a four inch heart.
Nine silk screened bicycle cards, eight two inch sponge pips, one 4 inch sponge heart, and a 12 page booklet.
The high end super soft sponge is worth the price.

Sharkey

Imagine a card is selected from a red Bicycle deck and signed. After the card has been lost in the deck the magician introduces his new sidekick Sharky. (A blue Bicycle card with a cool looking sticker of a card shark on the back.) Suddenly, the blue card changes to red and Sharky has vanished! The magician starts searching for the missing Sharky card. The blue Sharky card is found in the center of the deck. When turned over it is seen to be the spectators signed selection! But that's not all, the selected card is now given away to the spectator with a magical bite bitten of the card!
They'll never know what bit them! Great for walk around, Restaurants, or just for fun with your friends.
