Unleash Avant-Garde Magic with Mark Elsdon
Prepare to infuse your magic performances with an unprecedented blend of artistry and deception! Mark Elsdon's 'Card Tricks Are Fantastic' isn't just another magic product; it's an invitation to explore the quirky, profound, and utterly fooling side of card magic. Mark has meticulously concocted a set of incredible card magic pieces, all designed around the truly fabulous, limited-edition 'Snap' deck created by the inimitable British artist David Shrigley. You'll not only love to perform these tricks, but you'll also cherish the unique experience they offer to your audiences.
The Shrigley Deck: A Statement in Your Hands
At the heart of this extraordinary offering is the 52-card Shrigley 'Snap' deck, a masterpiece of off-kilter art that comes housed in a stylish metal tin. These aren't just cards; they're a conversation starter, a visual delight that handles like a dream. With their gorgeous design and high-quality feel, they perfectly embody Shrigley's irreverent and humorous aesthetic. This deck alone is a statement, providing a foundation for magic that is as visually striking as it is mystifying.
Six Foolers: Powerful, Surreal, and Unforgettable
Accompanying this unique deck is a comprehensive booklet teaching six astonishing tricks. Four of these are incredibly powerful pieces of card magic, including an updated, refined handling of Mark's widely-performed and highly deceptive 'PrePreFiguration' trick. The other two tricks embrace the surreal and darkly humorous spirit of Shrigley's work, leading to very magical yet wonderfully offbeat endings. One trick is so unique, it even boasts its own Twitter account! Every single one of these six effects is a serious 'fooler,' guaranteed to baffle even the most discerning spectators. Whether performed individually or seamlessly woven into a killer routine, they promise to elevate your card magic to new, artistic heights.
Stand Out From the Crowd
If you're a magician seeking to break free from convention, to make a distinct statement, and to leave an indelible impression, then 'Card Tricks Are Fantastic' is your ultimate tool. The avant-garde approach to both the cards and the presentations ensures you'll stand out from the crowd, delivering a truly unique and memorable magical experience.
Original Specs
Using a fabulous deck of limited-edition Snap cards created by the inexplicable British artist David Shrigley I have concocted some incredible card magic which you will absolutely love to perform. Because card tricks are fantastic!
As well as the Shrigley Deck you will receive a booklet teaching six tricks. Four of them are incredibly powerful pieces of card magic (including the updated handling of my widely-performed PrePreFiguration trick) and two of them are very magical, but as befits the work of the irreverently dark and humorous Shrigley, they have somewhat more surreal endings. One of the tricks even has its own Twitter account! I kid you not!!
All six of them are serious foolers and can be performed alone or routined into a full, killer set.
The 52-card deck comes in a metal tin and the cards themselves are gorgeous and handle like a dream. They are a perfect piece of off-kilter Shrigley art and so the tricks and presentations I have created using them take a similar avant-garde approach. If you want something different that will make you stand out from the crowd and make a statement, this is it!
