Magic Tricks

The Hole Thing by Chris Mayhew

 

Our newest release comes from the twisted mind of Chris Mayhew, in his theory11 debut. For the first time on video, he presents a brilliant spin on the age old Sandwich plot. This is the Holey Grail of sandwich effects.

What differentiates this sandwich routine from any others is something that will instantly catch both magicians and lay audiences off guard - the two Jokers have holes in them. Big ones.

Yet still, with stunning impossibility, the selected card appears between them, not once - TWICE. The cards can then be examined front and back. You hand them out - they're normal.

As a bonus, Chris teaches you his take on the classic card warp routine. Whole Warp is a new and mind blowing version with a kicker ending that will leave your spectators speechless.

Taught with 50 minutes of detailed studio instruction by Chris Mayhew in signature theory11 quality. You'll learn everything from making the holes, to execution, and performance subtleties.

The Hole Thing by Chris Mayhew This is the Holey Grail of sandwich effects. This is the Hole Thing.

Two Jokers trap your selected card between their fierce hands, all in view through a hole cut in the center of each card.

Great! This trick is great! Once you practice a few times, this trick will go so smoothly. The HARDEST part was cutting the holes.

One word - AWSOME! This is really creative and fun to do. It's a little easy but I gave it 4 stars because it's not something to show other magicians.

Great trick! The gimmick was easy to make and I learned the tricks within minutes. One of the best sandwich effects ever.

It is so easy that once you practice for about ten minutes and you find yourself performing and getting unbelievable reactions with it, especially to the second trick's finale.

This is the cleanest sandwich trick ever. Highly recommended.

Absolutely insane! Chris shares several different routines and provides excellent explanations for each. This is perhaps one of the best values anywhere because it not only shows you different handlings, but as an added bonus, he shares many sleights which gives you options. The sleights alone were worth the cost, and he is generous in giving due credit to the authors. The media displays excellent quality offering some 55 minutes of easy to learn teaching.

Overall, these routines will blow people's minds. Everything is so visual and convincing. And yes, you really do end clean. Great job Chris!

This effect is really remarkable. You will master it within minutes, and you will have the greatest experiences performing it. The effect makes magic come true.

I would like to add that the ten cannot be signed, even though Chris say so.

There are many things you can do with this effect! So simple, clean, and easy to perform.

Takes only a minute to make, a second to prepare, an a hour to master, and you will have a lifetime of great reactions.

This is crazy! So clever and so simple I can hardly express my fascination with this effect. Ingenious and very deceiving, it will surely be in my repertoire from now on.

This sandwich effect is by far the most incredible, unique and powerful sandwich effect I have ever seen. The quote at the top couldn't be more correct, labeling the Hole Thing as the holey grail of sandwich effects, ever (IMO at least).

Every spectator that I have performed this effect for could not fathom what they had just witnessed. A great majority of the time they will literally sit their with the mouths wide open and in complete silence. This effect is so strikingly visual that it is nearly impossible to comprehend, if magic were real then this is exactly what it would look like.

So if you're a fan of sandwich effects as much as I am, then you NEED this effect in your repertoire because the reactions you will receive when performing this effect, surpassed my wildest expectations and a whole heck of a lot more. Add this to your cart and will never be disappointed that you did, it truly is that powerful and the holy grail of sandwich effects.

This is really cool! With a bit of practise, you'll be able to perform a miracle! Anyways, I've found he first 20 minutes of the video a bit boring. However, the effect is REALLY worth buying! I would pay $20 or $30 for this. It's not just a couple of tricks; is a completely new concept that you'll be able to apply in a lot of tricks, as well as to create new routines.

I first stumbled upon Chris Mayhew's Holes Concept in his book A Clockwork Apple, and instantly knew it was a gem. The sandwich effect is what actual magic should look like. His Whole Warp routine is also one of my favorite card warps available. This download is definitely something you should check out; you will miss out if you don't!

The most creative thinking on card magic with holes I have seen in a long time. And trust me, I know my holes.
