A simple and easy to use rising card effect, with a much stronger visual impact than many other rising card effects. The performer has one or more cards selected from an examined and shuffled deck. The selections are free and fair (no forces!) and the cards can be signed if you wish. The selected cards are replaced and shuffled into the deck. The deck is placed in a small chest, and the lid closed. The spectators call out their cards, one at a time. The performer gestures hypnotically and eerily the lid of the box rises. Then the selected card rises from the box. It is removed, and the signature verified. The box is closed, and the experiment repeated for the next selection. There are no strings, clockwork, motors or electronics, and no set up. It is all self contained in the special mechanical chest, which you can use with any deck of cards. It is a first rate effect, so we gave it a deluxe finish, crafted from select hardwood, lacquered in a natural wood finish, and designed to last for years. You may find cheaper models, but this is better value for money.
