Cell Phone Presentation by Joshua Jay

Created by: Joshua Jay

Cell Phone Presentation is a modern close-up magic routine that integrates the Invisible Deck with a common everyday object—a cell phone—to create a powerful and engaging effect for spectators. In this trick, the magician uses their phone in a clever presentation that enhances the classic Invisible Deck premise, where a spectator names any card, and it is found to be the only one reversed in the deck. This routine is designed to be performed in social or casual settings, making it ideal for close-up magic. Buyers should note that this is part of a larger set taught by Joshua Jay, which includes a professional-quality red Invisible Deck and online instructions, covering everything from foundational handling to advanced psychological concepts for immediate performance.

Effect

The Cell Phone Presentation makes a chosen card appear inside a spectator's own cell phone. A spectator names any card from the deck. The magician then shows that the card is not in the deck. The magician asks to use the spectator's phone. After a few moments, the magician reveals that the named card is now visibly displayed on the phone's screen. The effect is a modern and impossible-seeming transposition of a thought-of card.
