Melting Card
An optical illusion in which a card rises and falls in the deck, as if it defies the laws of physics and is able to visually melt, solid through solid. Learn it instantly - with step by step instructions on how to create the illusion with simple, household objects and instant, streaming instruction.
Balancing Card
A single playing card is shown perfectly, impossibly balanced - on top of the card box. As an extra twist, the card is then placed on the table - where it stands up vertically, on an edge less than 1 millimeter thick. This illusion requires no strings or magnets. Learn it now and build it yourself in less than 30 minutes.
Holocard
As if it were a hologram… a playing card held in front of your body seems to short circuit reality and become transparent - showing clear through to your body behind it. The illusion is remarkably convincing, with brilliant mechanics that enable it to occur. Learn it instantly - with step by step video instructions on how to create the illusion with household objects in 90 minutes or less. Technique by Jared Arroyo and Calen Morelli.
