Fusion Routine by Chris Mayhew and Big Blind Media

Created by: Chris Mayhew, Big Blind Media

Fusion Routine is a close-up card magic trick that features the Rub A Dubstep move, an enhanced version of the classic Rub A Dub Vanish. Spectators see a card held cleanly at the fingertips before it vanishes in full view, allowing for versatile applications such as vanishes, controls, switches, and steals. The routine includes effects like two cards visually fusing into one, making it ideal for intimate and walkaround settings. Buyers should note that it requires some sleight of hand skill but is designed to be easy to learn and highly deceptive, with practical uses involving everyday items like napkins or tablecloths.
