This weeks new magic review features Spin Doctor by John Bannon. You’ll also receive a Reality Check thanks to Michael Paul and Al Baker shows us his secret ways. All of this and more… let’s dig into it!
Spin Doctor By John Bannon:
Author and creator John Bannon remixes a classic Ace trick. Four red-backed Aces, held face-down, are spun. After each revolution, a different Ace turns face-up. Then the Ace of Spades vanishes – it turns blank – in your spectator’s hand, and reappears among the other Aces. Finally, each ace has a different back design and color – four different colored backs. Everything is clean and examinable! Includes DVD instructions, all the necessary cards specially printed by the U.S. Playing Card Company, and a bonus PDF instructional booklet!

Tagged By Richard Sanders:
A playing card is selected, shuffled into the deck and then…the impossible happens! The performer points out the dog tag chain hanging around his neck. The chain is completely solid and ungimmicked. Holding the deck in his hand, he waves it over the hanging chain, suddenly the selected card jumps out from the deck and impales itself onto the chain.
