Effect

The B-Wave/Wave Effect is a visual card revelation where a spectator names any playing card value (Ace through King). The magician removes a small packet of cards from a wallet, and when spread, only the named card is face-up while the others are blank. The effect is clean, direct, and leaves no room for suspicion since the wallet appears ordinary and the revelation happens instantly.

Full Details

The B-Wave/Wave Effect is part of the New Wave system by Victor Sans. It uses a specially designed wallet that holds a packet of cards. The wallet itself is gimmicked but looks like a standard billfold, making it practical for everyday carry. The effect allows for multiple outs (up to 13, one for each card value), meaning the spectator can freely name any card, and the magician can reveal it as the only face-up card in the packet.

The system is versatile—while the primary effect is the B-Wave, the wallet can also be used for other revelations, such as predicting a city, name, or ESP symbol. The method is hidden in plain sight, allowing the magician to gather information naturally during performance.

Who Should Consider the Trick

Mentalists who want a clean, impromptu revelation method.
Close-up performers looking for a wallet-based effect that plays big.
Magicians who enjoy versatile systems that can be adapted for multiple routines.
Performers who like interactive magic where the spectator freely names a card.

Difficulty

The B-Wave/Wave Effect is moderate in difficulty. The mechanics are straightforward, but proper timing and natural handling are key to making the effect deceptive. The wallet does most of the work, but the performer must be comfortable with casual misdirection and smooth transitions.

What Magicians Say

itsallthingsmagic mentions that the New Wave system is "not just a trick, but a tool" due to its versatility beyond the B-Wave effect.
Reviewers highlight the clean nature of the revelation, with no suspicious moves or awkward moments.
The wallet’s everyday appearance is praised, making it practical for real-world performances.
Some note that while the B-Wave effect is strong on its own, the real value lies in the system’s adaptability for other routines.

The B-Wave/Wave Effect is a powerful addition to any magician’s repertoire, offering a deceptive and interactive card revelation that feels impossible to the audience.

What people are saying about B-Wave/Wave Effect

itsallthingsmagic says...

This is not just a b-wave effect, it's a system you can use to reveal any number of outs that you have up to 13. You're able to get access to that out out in the open in front of your Spectators and reveal it in a very easy way but also a very fooling way.
