*Hands ^R^ed-$py a hammer*

There ya go.

Well, here goes...

The Effect:

A card is selected (the 10 of diamonds in this case), and signed on it's back. It is then placed on the table, and to spectator covers it with his hand.
An object is selected as well (a car in this case).
A kinder egg is brought out, still in it's wraper, and the spectator is told that inside of the kinder egg, is his selected object along with his signeture on it!
The spectator does not believe it... The magician starts to unfold the wraper, opens up the choclete, and out falls a lot of small diamonds. The magicians acts surprised, and says: "well... if the diamonds are here..."
The spectator lifts his hand up, looks at the card, and sees the car outside of the yellow canister that was suppose to be in the choclete!

Explanation:

Setup:

Take a kinder egg, unwrap it, but don't tear the wrap itself. Open up the 2 halves of choclete, and take out the yellow canister. Cut out some red plastic in diamonds shape, and throw them in on of the halves of the choclete. Close up the other half on top of it, wrap the whole thing up with the wraper, and the egg is ready.
What you need in the deck is the 10 of diamonds on top, followed by the gaffed card beneth it.
You'll also need 10 small different objects, while one of them is a small car.

The Trick:

Cut the deck while keeping a break, and perform a riffle force. Cut the current bottom half back to the top, and do a double lift, showing the 10 of diamonds. Turn it face down again, and have it signed. Turn it once more face up, and face down again, just to show it. Have the spectator put his hand onto the card on the table, while the card is facing up with the signeture facing him.

Bring out the 10 objects, and perform a force for the car. There are many ways to do it. I don't remember the name of this force... but it goes as follows:
You explain that you will take turns, each turn one of you will point to 2 objects, and the other will remove one. You let them start.
So they point to 2 objects, and you remove one of them. If they point to the car at some point, just take out the other one. When you are the one pointing, simply never point to the car.
When this force is done with an even number, and the spectator chooses first, you will have the 2 last objects to choose which one to take out.
I hope that was clear enough...

So the car was chosen, and the trick is pretty much done... befor it even started yet.
you open up the wraper of the kinder egg... and separate the 2 halves of the cholcete, while dropping the diamond cut out shapes. You act surprised, and let him turn his hand over, finding that the car appeard under is hand, with his signed card... while still having the 10's on each corner of the card.

A few points:

- If you wish, you can also vanish the car from the table in any way you may think of... and then have it appear under his hand.

- Instead of using real objects you can simply use notes that say: "car, candle, etc...", or have drawings on them... If you do have drawings on them, you can have the exact same car as the gaffed card.

- You don't have to have the card singed. If it's not signed, you can reapet the trick over and over again... I just think it's very nice to give a card like that at the end.

Hope you like it =)

We didnt need the explanation, but thank you for sharing. I like the idea, but idk what a "kinder egg" is....

Still...creative

Edit:

Just went on google, and found out that the US has restricted kinder eggs....

Hi,

I think it's time to introduce my gaffs

You show the Queen and King of Hearts on top of deck the deck. You snap and show the Jack between them. You tell them, that they are married and it's their child. You lay them down and do the same thing with the Queen, King and Jack of Spades.
You say, that some guys want to fool you: they ask, what would happen if you take the Queen of Spades and the King of Hearts. You take both in your hand and snap, and suddenly there is the Jack of Spearts, a mix of both.
You tell them, that the King of Spades is now offended and gets a divorce. (You take the King of Spades and the Queen of Clubs.) He marries the Queen of Clubs and a new child was born: The Jack of Clades.
You say that the King of Clubs could marry the Queen of Hearts, too. (You take both.) Of course their child would be the Jack of Clearts.
You tell them, that the diamonds are very shy people, but sometimes the King of Diamonds goes to the Queen of Clubs, but only when the Queen & Jack of Diamonds and King of Spades are gone away (You throw them away and take the King of Diamonds and the Queen of Clubs.) You tell them, that their child would of course be the Jack of Clubmonds, you make him appear using a Hot Shot Cut.

That's it. Of course you can use many other ways to present this ;-)

Here are the pictures:


from left to right: Jack of Clades (Clubs + Spades); Jack of Clearts (Clubs + Hearts); Jack of Clubmonds (Clubs + Diamonds); Jack of Spearts (Spades + Hearts)
I hope you like my idea

I like this, its nice and creative! Very smart idea, something I wouldnt have figured out. Plus it looks like it would be fun for kids, which is one of many magicians favorite kind of person to perform for. Overall good, so far I love ALL of our entries!


Keep sending them in!

I made two gaffs. One of them is more an extra and should not really be for that contest but I'd like to share it here anyway.
So the less important one is this:

It's a prediction card.
I thought it would be nice to use it with the Devils Touch by Daniel Madison. Just say you lie down a normal King, who is going to tell something at the end. While putting down you make a change and so on... You got the idea...

The other card (and the more important one) is that one:

Well okay, it's nothing unusual and not really creative but also just a small tool for a better effect in some card-edge tricks. With good misdirection you could even make a person sign this card, without knowing that it's a gaff.
Let two people name (force) a card each, the gaff is in the middle of the deck, the other one (here the six of spades) on top. Tear a corner off the top card and slam it into the deck. Then find the gaff card and show that the corner matches.
Patter:
(red: your speech | green: movement | grey: additional info)
I want you, [spectator 1] pick any card you like.
Force them the six of spades. Classic force makes the best effect.
And now I want you, [spectator 2] think of a card. Do not guess, I will try to communicate the card to you. Don't tell me, what you picked, but do not change you mind as well.
Force the tree of diamonds to them via speech.
Now this is explained by Derren Brown in a few of his books, and instructional videos. Also in his lecture video from 1999.
Now watch, I will try to find your (spectator 2) card with the help of [spectator 1].
Tear the edge off, palm it and slam it into the deck. Tell that it's really gone and you don't have it anywhere. Go trough the deck and show what happened.

Okay, that was it, I hope you like my idea!
Thanks!

kischiman, i'm going to count you're second entry in the contest okay? Its probably the one you wanted in it anyway right?

Okay, so since i'm nice, if you dont already have you're entry in, i'm giving you until 8:00 eastern time, (my time) or 2:00 pacific time...okay?

When I get time after 8:00 I will put up the poll. You are aloud to vote for any entry you want. If you are entered in the contest you can vote for you're own as well, but please do not bribe you're friends, because that is a cheat to the community and a cheat to you're karma

Thanks! and if any of you had any ideas, send them in!
