*I like effects that don't require a table; this ticks the box. It is very easy and delivers a significant impact. I don't perform quite as the tutorial does. I felt that the back of the cards should be seen, I force the card have it signed, then DL to show the back(comment on never marking a back, etc) turn card back showing the face, then double undercut to the top, and get a break below the top two cards. Upon bringing out the 8 Ball gimmick (featuring the 8 Ball logo), turn the eight ball over and say, "Through this portal of opportunity, I saw the card you selected earlier." Show the image, then place the 8 Ball on top of the deck. Now, as I perform the switch move, I turn my left hand down, and hand them the card they signed, but with the 8 Ball part showing. I let the spectator shake it to see if the image really shows their card. Now, when they turn it over, it is the signed card. This method allows the backs and fronts of the cards to be seen, and the change appears to happen in their own hands, making them an integral part of the magic.

Great
Magic 8 Ball by Roddy McGhie Is brilliant Roddy’s thinking is outside the box. This went straight into my set and the reactions were just great.
Alex thank you, you’re service is second to none.
Choosing a selection results in a full page refresh.
Needs a bit of practice to get angles / timing down , but put that in and you’ve got a visual masterpiece in your hands . Instant reset , tutorial is fantastic 100% a worker
This effect is superb , props are excellently made and this is what a tutorial is meant to be like ! Very in depth , multiple angles , close up , parlour and stage options . 100% workable table hopping and walk around . The “jam” session with peter turner is excellent giving you a few additional effects which are really really good . Over all very pleased with the whole package .5 stars all day long !
I love this so much. It’s so simple but so unbelievable good. It stays on me all the time now and holds my coins ready for a trick at any time. Love it. Buy it, practice with it, create with it. Wonderful.
This is great fun. It’s well made and reasonably sturdy + should last for a while. The bank card fits well and is a realistic size. Check to see if a slightly thicker playing card (x5 cards thickness) will actually fit in your wallet/phone case though!
