Pick Me by Adam Dadswell

Effect

A spectator signs a playing card. The magician places the signed card back into the deck. The deck is then sealed inside its card box. With a magical gesture, the magician causes the signed card to visibly and impossibly rise up out of the sealed deck. The spectator can then remove the card themselves, confirming it is indeed their signed selection. The deck and box can be handled by the spectator.

Full details

Pick Me is a self-contained trick. It comes with a streaming video tutorial, two special gimmicks, a card box, and stickers. The method allows the signed card to be cleanly and visually produced from a deck that is completely sealed inside its box. A key feature is that everything can be handled and inspected by the audience both before and after the effect. The gimmicks are noted for their durability, though they are consumable items that will need replacement after extensive use. The creator, Adam Dadswell, presents the tutorial.
