Kid Canvas by Adrian Vega

Created by: Adrian Vega

Kid Canvas by Adrian Vega is a visually stunning close-up card magic trick where a spectator's signed selected card appears to paint itself in stages on a small, blank canvas. The effect begins with blank cards that gradually develop childlike sketches, refine into the card's back design, and culminate in the full face of the card, including a fake signature for added impossibility. This creates a miniature theatrical experience that is highly emotional and memorable, ideal for walk-around, table, or family performances. Buyers should note that it includes multiple gimmick sets compatible with any deck (blue or red backs), features an instant reset, and emphasizes clear, elegant presentation for maximum impact.
