Extractor E2 by Rob Bromley and Peter Nardi

Created by: Rob Bromley, Peter Nardi

Extractor E2 is a clever vanish and reproduction effect, ideal for close-up or strolling performances. It involves a spectator selecting and signing a card, which is then 'stolen' from their 'wallet' without detection, using a combination of misdirection and sleight of hand. This trick plays on the psychology of pickpocketing, blending deception with visual impact to create a baffling effect. It's suitable for magicians who appreciate both gimmick-assisted magic and traditional sleight-of-hand techniques.
