Just in case you missed it this evening, we welcomed a new product into the theory11 family, Vertigo by Rick Lax. In this effect, a deck of cards is removed from the box, and the empty box is balanced on the side of the deck. Barely on the deck. Impossibly balanced. That's only the beginning.
If you haven't checked the preview out yet, do it now. Watch the entire thing, clear to the end. In a second phase, the playing cards themselves - the full deck (!!) - is balanced on the box. Over the edge. Suspended. Frozen in time.
In Vertigo, Rick teaches both an in the hands method and a table method for this impossible balancing act. He also teaches several real balancing tricks that, when used with Vertigo, help to blur the lines between magic and reality. Used all together, you get an organic, zen-like feel to the whole trick. Nobody will know if they witnessed magic, or simply you breaking the laws of physics.
Vertigo gets crazy reactions. Trust me. Watch your spectator's faces when they are looking at something completely and undeniably impossible, sitting right in front of their face.
If you haven't seen it, check it out here. This. Is. Vertigo.
