I have used the ambitious card in restaurants for more years than I want to remember but I have never used the pop up move at all. And to end the routine I produce the card from the deck box that was sitting on the bar or table through the whole routine.
I only use a LePaul Wallet to end an ambitious card routine when there is no table or bar to work off of. I also feel that the envelopes in the wallet make it a stronger effect. The reason is that I go in for the wallet remove the envelopes and then put the wallet away in my pocket. Now I place the three envelopes on the open palm of a spectator. The card vanishes from the deck and then I show the envelopes one by one. The last one is opened - climax. The wallet is just a container for the envelopes and I make it not important and what they get to keep and look at is the envelope the ambitious card appeared in and often it has my advertising on it. I have the ambitious card routine I did on a TV show with the card appearing out of the deck box at my web site below. Enjoy.

Hey Glenn. Checked your website. Would you be kind enough to give those of us who are too busy to watch all your videos the title of the one which showcases your Ambitious Card Routine? Thanks!

We can't use the link to the video display page. Those links evidently change every time a new video is added. The best thing is to go to the page that the vids are shown on and select the right one.

As I do rest. a lot I structured this routine in such a way that works for the sit down crowd, however, I have modified it to work for walk around as well.
So the card jumps to the top a few times. Then I have them place the card back into the deck and im. it is sitting right next to them! They pick it up place it back into the deck and the deck dissapears and only one card is left in my hands..their card, the deck is sitting next to them! I then do a double signed card phase where their signature visibly comes off the card only to reappear on another spectators card. Then that one card dissapears from the deck ( both signatures on the card) and is found in a little treasure box,locked with a master lock, SITTING NEXT TO THEM! They open it up themselves and remove the card. This is my closer at a table. Never fails to get a collective applause everytime. (this is of course a streamlined explanation chris) Justin Miller I will have this for purchase at my two lectures at the 75th annual Magi-Fest this year. |

The envelope takes the attention away from the wallet. No one cares about the wallet. It is how did it get into the envelope. I reload my wallet as the spectator is tearing open the envelope, so it is always ready. My wallet carries 10 to fifteen envelopes, and I often do the "The Gold Ring, the Watch and Everything" where the spec's stolen watch appears in an envelope for the same group I just did Card in Envelope for. As the watch envelope is being opened, I set up again, so I am ready for the next crowd. The window envelope is also a very important aspect of the routine. It enables me to show both sides of the envelope convincingly, and they "see" their card in the envelope while it is still in the wallet. They are not as anxious to grab the envelope and open it as they would be if they couldn't see that there was anything in the envelope. The psychological effect is such that I can let the spectator open the envelope himself without seeing the ripped opening on the sealed side. It also makes it much easier to prepare the envelopes, since I can tear and seal them much faster on the sealed side than I could cut and tear on the address side. |

And Zim, I heard of the moby deck, but didn't know it was that! Sounds neat. But how do they know its brass if there are cards on the top and bottom? Are they attached there? well they don't really...its just really heavy when you give it to them. yes, the top and bottom cards are attached, but you can change them if you really wanted, or just get rid of them. I am working on some other uses for it besides a Omni Deck type use. its a great gag for your magi friends. pull out the deck and hand it to them. great laughs among friends
