The BLACK CROSS Effect: A Card Magic Miracle

The Routine

Begin by showcasing a standard, classic deck of cards, clearly demonstrating all cards are different. There are no apparent setups or alterations.

• A spectator is given a completely free choice of any card from the deck. There is no forcing or control, ensuring a truly random selection.
• The spectator then signs or marks their chosen card on its face, making it uniquely identifiable.
• The signed card is genuinely lost back into the deck, which is then simply placed on the table.
• You take a different card and, in full view of your audience, draw a clear, indelible black cross on its face with a marker. The cross is unmistakably visible and permanent.
• With a simple gesture, a snap of the fingers, or a light blow, the drawn cross visibly vanishes from your card. The disappearance is instantaneous and complete, leaving your card entirely clean.
• The vanished cross must be somewhere else. The deck is then spread, revealing that the black cross has magically reappeared on one specific card – the spectator’s previously freely chosen and signed card. The rest of the deck remains unmarked, emphasizing the impossibility.

Unrivaled Features & Benefits

• No Forcing or Manipulation: The effect relies on a spectator’s genuine free choice, making it incredibly powerful and deceptive. There are no complex sleights or manipulative moves required from the performer.
• Instant Visual Vanish: The cross disappears from your card with startling speed and clarity, creating a truly mind-bending moment for your audience that needs to be seen to be believed.
• Immediate Reset: Designed for efficiency, BLACK CROSS resets instantly, allowing for continuous and spontaneous performances without any downtime.

Product Specifications

Before I describe the effect, you should know that there is NO VIDEO TRICKERY in the demonstration video! Watch it as often as you like and you’ll see that it is 100% true!

Fast doesn’t begin to describe it!

A word of advice. Do not close your eyes, do not even blink, otherwise… you will see nothing!

Mickael once again goes beyond the impossible by proposing this marvel… “BLACK-CROSS“.

The routine/the effect:

Take out your deck and show it front and back! This is a classic deck of cards where all the cards are different.

A spectator is FREE to choose a card, there is no forcing whatsoever!

The spectator marks his card on the face.

The card is then lost in the deck and the deck is simply placed on the center of the table.

Now take the first card of the deck and in front of your spectator, you draw a cross with your black marker!

The cross is clearly visible on your card, and since the marker is indelible, it does not erase!

Move your card closer to the deck… invite your audience to look at the cross (clearly visible).

Blow on it or snap your fingers and it disappears in full view!

You really have to see it to believe it… the disappearance is MINDBLOWING!

If the CROSS is no longer on your card, it must be somewhere else now…

Then take the deck, and run the cards one by one, face down… no cross here, no cross on this card etc…

The cards are passed one by one… until on one card, a black cross appears! Go through the rest of the deck to show that there is only one card with a cross, you guessed it… it is the card freely chosen and signed by your spectator!

Remember these important points:

• No forcing!
• No manipulation!
• The cross vanishes in full view! You have to see it to believe it!
• IMMEDIATE RESET!
• The precision gimmick takes care of EVERYTHING!
• 100% mechanical!
• The gimmick is durable, even for professional use !

BLACK-CROSS is delivered full, ready to perform with video explanation.
