Shut Your Hole

[Michael Kras]

Hey guys!

I've been playing with a cool, visual method of restoring a hole in a card recently, and I'd love to hear what you think of it. Still in its super early stages but I think it has potential. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Definitely interesting. Seems clean but with that camera quality you could have slipped tape over the hole and it would look clean. Would love to see a video with a clear picture.

Apologies for that. I'm living in residence for school and my resources are limited. But I assure you it looks as good in person as well. I came up with it while toying around with cards in my wallet during a lecture and I've been working on the handling ever since!

How examinable is it before and after?

The hole in card, ticket, business card plot has been around for many years. Michael Close and Geoff Williams had very good routines with restoring holes.

WyattSB, the card IS examinable, but you must do a move to clean up first.

Rick, I'm very aware! I've played with a few myself. I used to do Sankey's effect Moving Violation, a visual moving hole, and I've played with Michael Weber's effect from Lifesavers.
