Close to Death

Close to Death is a bizarre twist on the one-way deck with a fabulous prop, a small polished wood box with a brass pentacle inlaid in the lid.


‘Close to Death’ is very simple to do but the effect is really surprising.


The box supplied is offered as a ‘gift’ and then your guest is given a free choice of playing card. The box is opened and a terrifying prediction written on a scroll is found inside.


Your ‘victim’ finds that there is a price to pay for any gift, but luckily they have chosen the ONLY card in the deck that does not subject them to a frightening curse.


There is NO sleight of hand, NO false shuffles, everything can be examined afterwards, instant reset.


Comes with everything you need:


Cost: £32.00

“Close to Death is a great routine that had my friend that I tested it on literally shaking. She was really affected that I could pull this off and make her wits wobble. Great job.”

“I have not had a chance to tell you about my experience with Close to Death". When I received my package, it was exactly what I expected it would be. The first time I performed it the person was amazed. As I told you, on Monday nights I meet with a group of magicians for dinner, learning and entertainment. Last night one of the men brought his two adult sons with him to be entertained. When I did "Close to Death" they were truly impressed it. As a matter of fact one of the group who was not able to attend last night called me and told me that he had heard what a success it was. After our visitors left I explained that it was your illusion an that they could contact you if interested.

Thanks again for helping me to entertain some folks.”
