Foot Where by Paul Fowler and Alakazam Magic

Created by: Paul Fowler, Alakazam Magic

Foot Where is a close-up or parlour card magic trick that delivers a surprising and humorous revelation. A spectator freely selects a card from a deck, which is then lost back into the deck. The magician reveals a pair of novelty socks, initially showing only the back of a card sewn into one sock as a playful prediction. With a twist, an arrow on the sock points to the other foot, where the face of the chosen card is impossibly revealed, having vanished from the deck. This effect combines prediction and impossible location, using custom socks and gimmicks for red and blue Bicycle decks, with no sleight of hand required, making it beginner-friendly. Buyers should note that it includes multiple handling options, bonus routines like a signed card version, and socks in two styles (Funky and Formal) to suit different performance settings, from casual to corporate events.
