Incredibil by Jay Sankey

Created by: Jay Sankey

Incredibil is a highly versatile and visually stunning close-up magic trick that uses a gimmicked dollar bill and playing cards. The magician begins by having a dollar bill closely examined, with a Joker folded inside. Two other cards are freely selected by the audience. The Joker then impossibly transforms, one at a time, into both of the selected cards. This trick can also be used for card changes, mentalism demonstrations, and even a routine called 'The Big Bet,' where a spectator’s signed card is revealed inside the folded bill. Incredibil is easy to use, resets in seconds, and works with bills from any country and any brand of playing cards. It’s a perfect addition to any magician’s everyday carry (EDC) due to its simplicity, strong visual impact, and versatility.
