A single card is placed into a wine glass and remains in full view for the entire effect. At no point, you explain, will you go near the glass.
A card is selected and signed. Once it has been thoroughly lost back into the pack (the spectator can shuffle the cards as much as they like), you draw attention back over to the glass.
“Wouldn’t it be remarkable”, you ask, “if that card was a perfect match to the one you selected?”
Of course, the audience agrees, but you continue, “What if I told you that not only is that card a perfect match, but it is in fact the exact card you signed?”
You may have had the audience's interest before, but you now have their UNDIVIDED ATTENTION.
You walk over to the glass, being careful never to obscure the card from view. Slowly and fairly you take it at your fingertips and turn it around. It is the SIGNED CARD!
“Card in Glass” is Ernesto Melero’s revolutionary handling of the Mystery Card plot. Everything is accomplished with sleight of hand. There are no gimmicks or duplicates involved.
You are going to learn an extraordinary card switch which is completely baffling, even to the most knowledgeable magicians. The “Card in Glass” presentation is ideal for parlour situations but as you can see in the trailer, it can also be applied to close-up settings.
The move is not easy but any card magician with a good grounding in basic sleights will have no trouble learning it. The video instructions walk you through the move in excellent detail and Ernesto shares a number of helpful tips which will expedite your learning process.
