David Kong - Mercury

David Kong - Mercury

The Effect

You cleanly show 4 cards to the spectators to be the four aces. You close the spread and without a single move, you spread the cards again to reveal one of them has turned face down. You close them, and once again spread them to reveal that the second Ace has turned face down. You continue this until all 4 Aces have magically turned face down in your hands. Amazing? Thats only the beginning!

You then reveal that the four cards you are holding have been the 4 kings all along, and theres not an Ace in sight. But where did those Aces go? You got it! Into the middle of the deck that the spectator has been holding the entire time!


Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)

2-3 - There are some sleights used but they are fairly easy to perfect.

Review

Could this be the effect that replaces Twisting the Aces? Early signs indicate yes! It is so easy to do! Think of an ungimmicked NFW, that packs not one, not two, but three amazing punches that will leave the spectator with the feeling that some part of their mind has just exploded.

The file that you recieve includes two street performances of Mercury by David Kong himself, a detailed tutorial on the main sleight involved, the basic method of performing, a complete list of more advanced methods of how to start and end the trick under different circumstances, a run-down on the angles involved (even though there are very few already!) and a bonus feature that shows how to do this trick with the new Ghost deck!

The teaching is excellent. David Kong does an excellent job in teaching this effect, the sleights, the advanced presentations and the angles involved.

Overall

World, meet Mercury. Mercury, meet world. This is possibly one of the best effects that i own, and it so easy to do! And for the price, how can this be turned down??!! Out of 10, i would easily give this effect a 10. If you are into card tricks, get this. You will not be disappointed!
