The "magician in trouble" storyline makes for a very entertaining routine!
Here is how it goes: Your spectator chooses a card, and you pretend to have trouble naming the chosen card. Apparently, the magician is in trouble!That's ok- you have an "Insurance Policy" that covers you for just such a problem. When the spectator opens the Insurance Policy- there is a giant picture of the chosen card!
It's a large size (17" x 22" when opened) so you can perform this great trick no matter how large or small your audience may be.
Yes, the policy is reusable!
