Hi everybody around here !

A friend of mine talk to me about a card trick where the name of the selected card is found on the inside skin of a hard-boiled egg...does this mean something to you ?

thank you for your kind answers !

Yes... its been talked about on the Café before.

Don't really know if it "means" anything to me other than meaning a lot of work for a card reveal....

What kind of answer are you looking for?

I've heard of that trick - they say it's eggselent!
I think it's a VERY old trick that could be found somewhere in the Encyclopedia of egg tricks.

Happy Easter!!!

For your consideration, Sankey has a routine of a signed card revealed inside a raw egg. It's impromptu but a bit messy.

Yup, it's in "Paperclipped"

It's all a bit too messy for me.

The trick that sankey explains on "paperclipped" is messy ,that's true.
I've tried it out how he suggests it , at a party and I got better reactions than I expected.
I think you should give it a try , maybe you'll like it.
good luck !

"I think it's a VERY old trick that could be found somewhere in the Encyclopedia of egg tricks."

Thank you Kaylan for info...
Do you know the author's name?

See you !

Sorry, lawrens I goofed. I meant Stanyon's Magic. I checked out the entire thing (it's like an encyclopedia) and there were some egg tricks in vol. 4 from 1903, but they were different ones. I'll keep looking - I know I've seen that one somewhere - not eggsactly sure where though.

Ok, Kaylan, thanx !

It's eggstremely difficult for me to find the origin of this effect : it's not a card reveal, where you find it inside the egg...Instead, the NAME of the card is written on the little "skin" which surround the (hard-boiled) egg.

Unfortunately, I don't have the Stanyon to search in...

Don't be sorry, Kaylan
You don't have to eggscuse yourself...

See you later around the forum !
