Mystery of the Dark Stranger

[Demonbrn]

I'm looking for a specific MB Magic Works trick called "The mystery of the dark stranger". It was a UPC mail in for the first run of magic works. It came with a plastic card carrier with a clear red front, 4 cards (one had a cut out) and that was it (besides instructions).

If I remember, it was a trick that introduced 3 dark strangers with diffrent colored top hats, then they would disapear leaving 3 landscapes that would represent crime scenes (I beleive) 1 was a dark alley, a cellar, and a mountain road leading to a castle. The spectator would think of a crime scene and the cards would be placed in the case to reveal the thought of name on the back (if I remember correctly, the red plastic front played a roll, and I beleive this is what it was).

It was a really easy effect, and had a nice feel to it and people loved it. If you google it, you won't get much but a page that explains an ebay auction of it about 4 or 5 years ago. I had it at some point, but I think my young siblings found and lost it, because I haven't seen it in years. I'm more looking for a possible owner or someone that has heard or seen it floating around somewhere.

I love packet tricks (I don't know why), I especially love dark gloomy ones (I carry Paradise Lost, a gypsy curse type wild card trick from cardshark, and also do Mexican Revolution when I don't want to bust out a deck), so am really hopeing to add this into my collection. I've actually looked through the entire Tenyo lineup in the hopes of finding somthing similar to no avail.


This trick actually got me into performing packet tricks!

Hi Demon, sadly, i never heard about that trick but ill keep an eye open for it. I'll also ask for it when I'll go to my magic shop here in Montreal.

Yeah, it was a mail in offer with "Magic Works" first run, it was a really cool trick. I think one of my siblings found it, messed it up and disposed of it and never said anything about it.
