Anyone performing Bok-Sa by Matt Ellison? I bought it at super-duper clearance at Hocus-Pocus and really didn't expect much, since many effects are on clearance for a reason, but this one really surprised me. It's an interesting, super-easy effect that gets terrific reactions.
Here's a link (at the full price of $14.95): http://www.elmwoodmagic.com/full/card-bo......2067.htm Official description [with edits in brackets]: A deck of cards is removed from a card-case which is shown to be empty (can you see where this is going?!) The magician says that to ensure that he cannot cheat he will perform his next trick with only one hand. A card is selected and lost in the deck. The magician, despite his earlier claims, fails to find the card [after one or more one-handed cuts]. The cards are now dealt face up onto the spectator's hand and one card [which is face down] bears a message, "Look In the Card Case!" [The chosen card is no longer in the deck, which the magician has dealt one card at a time into the spectator's hands]. The magician directs attention to the card case, which has been in view the entire time - with empty hands he opens it and inside is the selection!!

Is this a DVD or a booklet?

It's a sheet of instructions with a small number of gaff cards, most of which you add to a regular deck of Bikes. It's a Matt Ellison effect produced by Alakazam Magic UK. It's pretty bombproof, has a gag and a couple of nice magic moments. Reset is quick and easy.

It does sound like a pretty cool routine. I'm with brehaut, do you (or can you) end clean?

No. This is one of those where you say "Tah-Dah!" and then pack the cards back into the box and go onto something else. While you're progressing through the effect, though, it looks squeaky clean.
