December Boys – Gimmick project

Gimmick'd • Buy playing cards & magic props

We believe that modern magic should be either visual or dead. We see the future in eye candy magic and brilliant sleight-of-hand. Fortunately, our Gimmick’d project requires minimal amount of skill: all 6 gimmicks are reliable and will perform most of the ‘dirty work’ instead of you. Hand-crafted by our very own Vitaly Chaban, these special cards are discreet and incredibly thin. Essentially, they look almost exactly like regular Rider Backs.

Gimmick – a trick or device intended to attract public attention. Gimmicks by December Boys consist of 6 special flap and mechanical cards, which will change your spectator’s perception of card magic once and forever.

Chris Brown – Venus Trap

Venus Trap - Chris Brown - Vanishing Inc. Magic shop

Imagine being able to show a single card and invisibly switch it for another. This is just one of the many applications you’ll acquire with the Venus Trap. “It’s everything a double lift can accomplish, and more…with only a single card.”

It’s one technique that will leave you with the power to control, vanish, change and switch a card.

The Venus Trap is an updated handling of a sleight published by George Pughe way back in a 1949 issue of The Linking Ring under the title of, Pughe’s Alternative to a Double Lift.

Reinventing The Real by Tyler Wilson

“Reinventing The Real is the best and most exciting book on close-up magic I’ve read in a long time. In it Tyler Wilson shows himself wonderfully inventive, a serious student of his craft and very funny. The only fault this book has is that I’m not publishing it.”
