This weeks new magic review features a card effect that will steal your Identity. You’ll also find a clever bill-to effect that you can carry around and you can never have to many MONTE tricks in your arsenal. All of this and more…
Identity by Richard Sanders
Walk up someone you’ve never met and have a card chosen, marked and shuffled into the deck. Next, you draw a series of random marks on the back of any indifferent card. Those marks VISIBLY JUMP from card to card, finally VANISHING COMPLETELY. The deck is slowly spread to reveal the marks on the back of one card…the spectator’s signed selection.
One last incredible kicker… you offer the card to the spectator as a souvenir. In order to personalize it…you shake the card…and get ready for this…THE MARKS ON THE BACK OF THE CARD VISUALLY REFORM INTO THE SPECTATOR’S VERY OWN NAME!
Yes, the marks VISUALLY REFORM with no cover whatsoever …into the name of the spectator that you just met!
With NO SWITCH… the card is immediately handed to the spectator to keep. It is completely examinable!

Fresh Mint 2.0 by Cameron Francis
You display a small tin, wrapped in a rubber band, bearing the words ‘TIME CAPSULE’ – this is left in full view. A spectator signs their own bill (any currency) and hands it to you. Placing it inside your fist you give it a little squeeze and incredibly, the bill completely vanishes! Or did it? You go on to explain that you actually sent the bill back in time! The tin is opened and inside is discovered a ‘Tic-Tac’ box through which can clearly be seen a folded bill! The ‘Tic-Tac’ box is dumped into your hand. You pop the lid off and cleanly dump the bill into your spectators awaiting hand – the box is now clearly empty. They unfold the bill and sure enough, it bears their signature!

Joker Monte by Cosmo Solano
Monte style effect where the Queen of Hearts is impossible to follow! Finally a paper clipped is used to help “mark” a card, but that proves to be no help! The paper clip seems to jump to the queen! Powerful “kicker” ending leaves you clean with cards that can be examinable!

VANITY by Dee Christopher
Some random letters are chosen to make up the initials of a fictional character out of the performer’s sight.
A name could be thought of from these letters, this will never be written down; it’s in the mind of the spectator.
The spectator is asked to grip the performer’s wrist and scream the initials in their mind – Slowly and visually the performer’s veins shift and morph into the selected initials.
As an added kicker, the name can be revealed without anything being written down, they really do just think of the name in their head!!
This is powerful stuff. This isn’t like Twisted Palm or similar effects, your veins PHYSICALLY do appear to morph into the selected initials and the name reveal is as clean as clean can be.
It’ll get under their skin. This is VANITY.
