”Yeah, I checked out Killer Kard 2, It blows me away- Nicholas Locapo”

I added that quote because it is the best comment I have ever had from

some one who I have never met, this reaction is from a video clip on

www.sleightgeek.com

and to be honest it is because of Nicholas I am making

the pdf. So thank him – ALAN

Effect

The magician takes 2 cards, One red and the other blue, he folds one card in

half and the places the other card at the fold. Then he continues to push

the card through the fold, even letting u see inside the fold before the card

passes right through, then he shows that the card which should be torn in

the middle is intact, everything is incapable

Needed

2 red cards, 2 blues cards, scissors and some magicians wax

Method

OK, to start take one of the red cards and cut it in half across the middle

of the width, you can discard of one of the half’s, it is no longer needed, no

place the half red card on the back of the full red card and apply a little wax

to the edges, makes sure the pattern matches up, look at picture one, it

shows you what edges I mean with a red highlight. That’s the red card ready

for use, Now on to the blue cards. Take one of the blue cards and cut it in

half, discard of the other half it is not needed, Now you are sticking this to

the back of the full blue card but only with a little wax on each of the

bottom face corners, yet again make sure the patters match up, look at

picture two to see where the wax should be, its highlighted in blue, and yet

again make sure the back patters LINED UP properly.

Now fold the red card in the middle, width ways,(be sure the half card isn’t

protruding any, but if u have cut the card in the middle you should be ok)

now the tricky part, holed the red card in you left hand with the double card

section on the lower half, and the face of the card facing you and hold the

blue card in your right with the face of the card facing the crowed and have

its half section on the top section.

Now this is the hard part to explain, Take the blue card and slip it in

between the full red card and the halved but let the halved blue card slip

behind the red card, look at picture three and four, the will show an

exploded front and back view so you can see what I mean, in reality

everything is all lined up so it just looks like the blue card is in at the fold,

show the spectators this so it looks like you are not cheating and as you turn

it back around, rotate the blue half around 180 degrees so it looks like

picture five and continue to fold the red card over so it hides the upside

down half now, As you fold it it over press the two top edges in a casual

manner, this will make the wax on the blue half card stick to the onto the

inside of the ace, this will make it easier on the “show” later.

Now continue to push the blue card up and the whole blue card will pass

straight in between the full red card and the half red card, don’t be afraid

to show both sides as you push it through like you see I the video, When you

have it half way stop and make sure the spectators can see the back of the

blue card, now it time for the “show”, open up the folded red card and this
will let them see the halved blue card, the wax will help it keep its position

as I said befor, this all gives the apperence that the card is right throught

the middle of the red , look in picture six and seven to see what I mean.

seven.

Now fold the card back over and pull the blue card right through, and place

down or hand the spectator, Then open up the red card with the back facing

the spectator and slip you hand over the half of the card that now has the 2

halved cards stuck to it, I just say im giving it a little rub to bond the hole

back together, in actual fact im putting may hand over so I can slip off the 2

halved cards and palm them off, now I hand back the red card for inspection

and pocked/lap the two halves.

that is it, it’s a simple trick that I love performing, thanx to Ricky Booska

for the idea and thanx to Nicholas for the creat reaction I hope you have as

much fun with this as I have, if you have any problems mail me at
