On one of the Magic Circus shows, Mark Wilson does a jumbo card rise. There are two surprises in the routine. First, a card rises back up. It then turns itself around. Second, the routine ends with a card fountain.

Does anyone know the details of this routine and prop? Who made this and is it still available?

Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard--

I know all about the 'Card Rise' you speak of. In the past ten years I have moved almost everything in Mark and Nani's warehouse, at least once. I remember several years ago finding the 'gimmick' that made the 'Card Rise' work. And had to ask Mark what it was. He told me, mystery solved. The 'Rise' can also be seen in the opening of the Paramount Television series 'The Magician' with Bill Bixby.

PM me and I will try and describe it for you. But is you want to have fun, try and figure it out before you ask.

Think LOW TECH!

Low tech, but very effective.


Cheers,



Michael
