That is a good use of the Abbott's Daring Spring Trap. The one you have(in the demo) is the older Victor trap and is a bit bigger than the type they sell now. Im not sure how well the deck would fit in the spring trap Abbott's sells now. I have used spring traps in my street show for sometime(20 plus years) and no matter what you do the minute you pull them out all eyes are on them. Its a great prop but you should never take your eyes off them once they are loaded!

Just send me an email mario@hotmail.co.uk The trap I sell with the dvd these days is the new trap. This is the same size as the trap I use in the video clip. Perfect for this routine, thanks. |

I have used it casually lately, yes. Used it in a show for the first time the other day. It's really easy to master, a few days rehearsal and you should have it down proper. Took me a few hours to get over the initial fear of it being a trap but the more you are with it the more safe you see the workings actually are. I'm going to start busking here in less than a week, it's for certain my closer [/quote] Have you done any more busking since last time you posted, and how has this effect been working for you? Regards Rich |

Are all the traps chrome plated? That makes it look, to me, like a magic prop instead of a real trap. Have you had any comments from spectators about this? I could be worrying about something that is not a problem.
Thanks, David |

Hi David, on both counts no. As for the spectators by the time I am through they know it not a magic prop!
We can plate them to order! All the best. Mario |

Hi Mario,
I really like the look of this, I'm just wondering on the re-set of this and practical side of things when taking it to the street. On the demo video the whole pack of cards, except for the chosen one, go flying. How do you handle this when you're performing outdoors? |

I'm still out and about using this.
I perform in front of Cesar's Palace with this, goes down well. Reset, easy, The way you pluck the card out matters, if any cards go flying it's almost always in front of you, if anything you might have less than half the deck fall to the ground. To be honest, you kind of have to try to get the cards to fly out, which I prefer because it makes it appear as if I had to really try. Otherwise it's a neat deck trapped in a trap. Yeah my cards fall down, because I choose for them to, it takes seconds to clean up and after I hat I just reach down and pick it up, it's not like a scattered mess. Very practical for reset. One of my best purchases in years. |

I noticed it's a good way to build a crowd as well, I put a card or card box in my mouth and hover semi close above it, when I see I get maybe a person stop and turned I put the card/box in the trap and go over to hand them a sharpie (Will Stelfox method).

I'm hoping this is a silly question.
But is it safe? I don't mind getting the wrong card, but I don't fancy losing my fingers. |

Safe? Well you could get a paper cut.
I added it to my show back in June, I've done it 50 plus times, I feel it's safe and I do it legitimately blindfolded. If you follow Mario's instruction on the DVD, you won't lose a finger. ~Gavin |

I thought that trap looked familiar, had the Daring Spring Trap back in the 1970's, bought it from Abbott's magic. It is a real trap, and not gimmicked in any way. It took me a year to get up the guts to put my hand in it. Never came up with a routine, did not think just the hand I trap was much of a presentation for it. These can be purchased at any store that supplies small animal traps. Careful, the catch is really sensitive.

The Worlds Most Dangerous Card trick - the trap we supply has been altered to take away the excessive force.
Each one has been prepared and tested. It also comes with a DVD that will teach you how to perform this both with blindfold and without. https://www.schoolofbusking.com/the-worl......trick-2/ |
