t11.bulletin - Cannibal Cards by Michael Hankins

[j.bayme]

A classic plot in magic is the Cannibal Cards. Originally developed by Lin Searles in the 1950′s, the effect has been a favorite among many of magic’s most respected creators. Tonight, we unveil a new spin on it by Mike Hankins.

Eugene Burger called it “wonderfully surprising with a perfect final line.” Deceptive, fun, and contemporary, this rendition of Cannibal Cards is streamlined and diabolical in presentation.

Four cards are violently devoured by the deck without mercy. Capped off a twist, surprise ending that will leave you speechless.

Special thanks to Bill Malone for his blessing and permission to include the first phase of this routine. Learn it now in 20 minutes of studio instruction.

Wow, nice job on this one JB =). Cannibal Cards is an amazing and fun card plot. I am glad that it is still seeing the light of day in this "newer" age of card magic! Bring on the Cannibal Cards, Reset, Open Travelers, and Cards Across plots in my opinion!

loved the kicker ending. Few inconsistencies in the cannibal part but i could easier use the second half with other routines. Was this 1-on-1 edited differently? i dont know why but i kept thinking it was sped up slowed down, sped up and real speed. Its not a big deal just messed with my head throughout the preview. Anyways a very good idea for a 1-on-1 and mike is funny as always.

If Mike has a live show, I don't know whether the audience would be watching a hilarious comedy act or an epic magic show...mindfreak dude.
This is one card trick that is seriously entertaining! Awesome preview as well. =)

Mehar,

This isn't the place for dissecting or analyzing an effect. I find it rather disrespectful that you would post your theories/ideas on how the effect is accomplished in the same same thread that is announcing the new effect!

I suggest you edit your post.

 

[mehar]

I didn't mean to be disrespectful, I'll delete.

nvm, mods did it

 

[Jenai]

Hahaha I LOVED the trick, AWESOME job Mike! But I just thought I ought to let you know,

BLOOD IS JUST NOT FUNNY.

 

[Mat La Vore]

I've never liked the effect, but Mike's handling of it is killer. Very smooth and clean.

 

[SHANE BLACK]

I love you Mike. lol

 

[LittleLead]

I love his handling of this

 

[3000GT]
