Effect: The magician presents the audience with a deck of cards. The deck is then shuffled and a spectator is asked to select a card and then sign it. The magician then continues Mikame’s Sucker Card magic trick by placing the card in an attractive box. The box is then tilted to the left so that the card can slide to the left side of the compartment. Next, shock the audience by revealing that the card has vanished when the left door is opened! Open the door to the right hand side and see that the card isn’t there either! Now, where did the card go? Only the magician will know!
The Sucker Card magic trick by Mikame requires no sleight of hand, is self-contained, and the box is made entirely of wood. Sucker Card comes with the box, Bicycle poker, and detailed instructions.

After racking up an extraordinary series of magic awards, Mindfreak magician Criss Angel, who stars in Cirque du Soleil’s Believe, has been presented with the ultimate prestigious title Magician of the Century. The award was presented to the Luxor headliner at the end of last night’s second Believe show.
Robin didn’t specify which governing body awarded Criss the Magician of the Century award or why Criss had triggered the mercy rule only 10 years into the game.
Meanwhile, we have some details on Mindfreak seasons 6, which is currently filming.
One of the death-defying challenges Criss will face on Season 6 of Mindfreak will be the Grand Canyon death jump, and he posed for this exclusive photograph at the rim on one of his scouting trips there. He is plotting the mind-boggling adventure down to the scariest last detail before cameras roll in one continuous sequence.

Before I launch into my point, I want to give you a little something that can help you grasp onto this concept with. I have been doing special FX make-up and costuming for most of my life. It’s a hobby. Have you ever seen a costume at some convention or Halloween party that was just… sad? It’s almost as if they had NEVER even seen the source material they were drawing from.
