Colour Changing Hole by N2G

Effect

The Colour Changing Hole by N2G is a card trick where a hole in a playing card appears to change color before becoming a real hole. The effect is designed to create a visual transformation that surprises the audience.

Full Details

The trick uses a flap-based mechanism to simulate the color change of the hole. The card must be shown against a black background for the effect to work properly. The handling involves manipulating the flap to create the illusion of the hole changing color before revealing a physical hole in the card.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This trick may appeal to magicians who enjoy visual card gimmicks and are willing to work within its limitations. However, due to the restrictive performance conditions and the visible mechanics, it may not be suitable for those looking for a highly deceptive or versatile effect.

Information on How Difficult It Is to Perform

The difficulty level is moderate. The trick requires precise handling to avoid exposing the flap mechanism. The need for a black background adds an extra constraint, making it less practical for impromptu performances.

What Magicians Say

Craig and Ryland Petty gave the trick a 0% rating in their review. Craig criticized the visible crease in the card and the unconvincing premise of the color-changing hole. He also pointed out the restrictive performance conditions, stating that the trick only works well against a black background. Ryland agreed, noting the poor scripting and lack of logical justification for the effect.

The reviewers did not highlight any pros for the trick, focusing instead on its flaws. Their feedback suggests that the Colour Changing Hole may not meet the expectations of magicians looking for a strong, practical effect.
