Does anybody know of a method to duplicate a spectator's signature on a playing card? Just as a matter of curiousity, I have a few ideas for it.
Depending on the situation, you can get away with a generic scribble. Depends on how closely you want it to be scrutinized.
And that might not be up to you in certain situations. It is bad magic to say NO when someone asks to look at something. The end of the magic should be examinable unless you're on stage. Do you honestly think that showing a signed card around with scribbles on it will convince them? Did it ever occur that they might want to check out the signature?
@ Sir FansAlot, I'd give ChristopherT the benefit of the doubt and assume he was talking about using a scribbled card DURING the effect. For instance, switching a legitimately signed card for a scribbled duplicate-- burning the duplicate-- and then reproducing the signed selection for examination again.
RS.

Well, Joshua Jay gets away with it with his signed card to Aspirin Bottle routine. So yeah, I think you could get away with it.
If you're good.

I been looking for the same thing as the OP.
although something you can try if you want, is have them draw a generic symbol instead of there sig.
Like a X or something of that sort. You can duplicate that no problem. and the Person did still get to write on the card and make it "one of a kind"
Especially if you have them write the date too.
Card College volume 5 gets them to write their signiture TWICE.
How exactly do you plan to have a spectator write their signature twice without them remembering it? Unless you used the same signed card at a later time?
