Sign of Satan is a classic Black Magic Theatre Show effect and is one of The Black Hart’s favourite presentations. It has been in his repertoire for many years now.

The performer gets a volunteer to name any playing card/Tarot card out loud (depending on the version you purchased. They have a free choice (no force). The card named is taken out of the deck and is placed face-up in full view.

The performer then tells of how in the Middle Ages cards were banned throughout Europe as the church said that they were the playthings of Satan. He goes on to tell that it is said that Satan marks a card in every deck and, that the only people who know which card is marked by Satan are the Evil One himself and those in league with him. This fact was used as a trial for witchcraft. The person suspected of being a witch was asked to name a card and if that card was marked by Satan, then execution for the suspect.

The occultist says that just for fun they will imagine that the volunteer is on trial for witchcraft. Of course the card that they previously named turns out to be the only red backed card in a blue backed deck and it has the word SATAN written on the back of it.

Like all Black Artefacts this is very simple to do with all the work being done for you so you can concentrate on the presentation.

You receive the gimmicked Bicycle cards or Rider Waite Tarot cards (full minor arcana) necessary for the effect all ready to go and script by The Black Hart.
