Any pro magician can tell you that the eeriest card trick in the world is the “Haunted Deck”. It’s in literally THOUSANDS of magicians’ acts, and luckily for all of us, Peter Eggink and Paul Harris USED TO BE two of them.
That was before Peter discovered the greatest method to performing the Haunted Deck we’ve ever seen.
- Peter didn’t want to be hooked up to Loops or thread.
- He didn’t want to EVEN BE NEAR THE DECK.
ANYTIME in your performance with a NORMAL UNPREPARED DECK, a friend shuffles then cuts to a genuine random card (signed if you want). The card goes back into the deck…which goes onto the table or floor. She can even cut the deck again and complete the cut…so that shes the LAST PERSON to touch the deck before the haunting starts.
Then when youre COMPLETELY away from the deck, the upper half of the deck ever so slowly begins to MOVE. SLOWLY. HAUNTINGLY. Sliding itself, cutting into two halves.
She slides out the card and it’s the ONE. And if she has the urge…she can once again examine the normal deck.
- NO LOOPS OR THREAD WORK
- NORMAL DECK CAN BE EXAMINED BEFORE AND AFTER
- PERFORM SURROUNDED IN ALL CONDITIONS
- ALL NATURAL ACTIONS. NO SECRET MOVES
- INSTANT RESET - ALWAYS READY TO PERFORM
- VERY, VERY EASY TO DO
