it can be done with business cards too.



I agree completely that this effect is a great way to give away your business card and an ideal one as they will more likely keep it.

That's the way I always use it.
Act as if I'm going to give my business card and stop midway to say that "between us this is not important enough for you to keep. It's just a piece of cardboard. But if we create a memory..." While doing the cube.
Hand the cube out with a normal business card for them to have a reference. They surely keep both!

Magicians need to stop thinking like magicians. There is great value to this as entertainment to a spectator. And it is a remarkable souvenir. Good job.

I think this is a great way to give out a souvenir, whether it's a business card or incorporating it into a card trick. I can see this in a selected card effect where their card disappears from the deck and appears in something like a Porper strong box... if I could just figure out a way to have a spectator sign the box without realizing it's a box. How about a deck switch with a gimmicked deck with cards cut out so the box fits into the center of the deck of cards?

I really think there is a phenomenal routine in this.

I agree with you... with a little twist... Magicians needs to stop thinking like consumers. Many people can't see beyond what is presented to them. This is a gem... all you have to do is add a little creativity to put it into a routine.

I think this is one of the best ideas in a long time!

Thank ytou guys!
Let me just add the removal of the signature part.
When the spectators choose a playing card...you turn it into a cube and palm of the card (thus making the playing card non existent) it can only seal the deal that the actual playing card bacame the cube. No need to worry about signing it.
I really busted my head over how it can be signed and only when I started performing it I understood why that didn't matter at all.
Cheers to you all my friends!

Nice origami idea, this looks really good, I would buy it if it wasn't so expensive. This is right up there with the folding a dollar bill into a ring and Bunny Bill, very novel and people will enjoy. Girls will keep and show around.

10 pounds is "so expensive"? Come on mate, it's a great routine, has a lot of extra ideas and there's a lot of work put into that from me and the Alakazam team.
