Depth Illusion

Depth Illusion, also known as Tilt, is a close-up card trick where a selected card appears to be inserted into the middle of the deck but actually remains under the top card, creating a visual illusion of depth. The magician demonstrates the card's apparent journey to the middle before it miraculously jumps to the top with a snap. This trick requires a subtle pinky break and precise handling to maintain the illusion, making it a sophisticated addition to any magician's repertoire.
