Catch by Big Blind Media is a captivating card to mouth flourish where a selected card is seemingly caught in the performer's mouth from a dribbled deck, with no duplicates or force required. This close-up magic trick is perfect for adding a surprising and visually appealing moment to any card routine.
In this video, David from Magic Orthodoxy reviews 'Catch' by Big Blind Media, a card to mouth flourish. The video is short, only 8 minutes, and focuses on teaching two methods: a fake catch and a real catch. David highlights that the trick requires no duplicates or force, making it versatile for any performance. He mentions the need for basic card handling skills like controlling a card to the bottom, a pinky pull down, and dribbling the cards. The first method is described as very easy but requires timing practice to look convincing. The second method is more challenging, involving actually pulling a card from the middle of the deck with the mouth. David suggests starting with the first method before attempting the second. The video also briefly touches on incorporating the flourish into a routine. Pros include the trick's simplicity and no need for prep. Cons are the need for practice to perfect timing and the challenge of the second method.
