The name "Bicycle" on a card case visibly morphs into the name of a spectator's selected card.
You need a gimmicked card case. This comes with the package and has been specially printed by the United States Playing Card Co. The package also comes with a booklet jam-packed with routines and ideas from Daniel Garcia and Luke Dancy. Most importantly, the book details the psychology behind the handling of the box in real performance and why it must be done exactly as taught to achieve greatest impact.
Look at the picture of the "3 OF CLUBS" box below. When the critical time comes, you are meant to hold that box in a certain way, upside down facing the spectator. When done correctly, this gives the ultimate illusion that the words do in fact say "Bicycle" right up to the last second since the last "B" is reversed. Then, you slowly drag your thumb and pull it across the box, creating the illusion that you can change printing at will.
The effect is riveting and VERY strong. We watched Garcia perform it time and again during some filming at Ellusionist and we attest to the fact that it WORKS. Not only does it work, it's quite easy to do which leaves you free to concentrate on presentation-- rather than sleights.
MORE TRICKS ON THE BOX
Several places on the box say "3 of Clubs", adding to the number of reveals you can perform. Also, the inside of the flap says, "Even though the box is empty, the card under your hand is the Queen of Hearts."
NO RESET TIME
EASY TO MASTER
COMPLETELY EXANIMABLE
"Anyone who knows super-pro Daniel Garcia will know he's all about the handling of a trick. That's why his card work looks like art. He's fanatical about the illusion being created and that all the small details of a trick combine to form the 'whole' of the illusion.
That's what is so beautiful about Tricycle. The handling is geared to let the spectator believe he sees the word "Bicycle" on the box right up to the last second. Then, ever so slowly, visibly, it changes.
I watched Danny perform this SO many times on the street. He loves the effect. Time and again I was amazed to watch people's faces as the illusion happened. It can be done surrounded and it's EASY. Pick one up today, I highly recommend it." - Brad Christian
