Effect

The Magic Butterfly trick creates a visually stunning moment where a butterfly appears or vanishes in an impossible way. A spectator freely selects a card from a mixed deck of butterfly-themed cards. After the selection, the butterfly vanishes from the card and reappears inside a specimen box that was previously shown empty. The effect combines card magic with a physical production, making it engaging and memorable.

Full details

The trick uses a specimen box (typically used for displaying insects) and a set of butterfly-themed cards. The spectator mixes the cards and calls "stop" during a face-down deal, ensuring a fair selection. The chosen card is revealed, and the butterfly depicted on it vanishes. The specimen box, shown empty earlier, is then opened to reveal the butterfly inside.
