Teacan 3000 by Martin Pierce

Created by: Martin Pierce

TEACAN 3000 is a close-up card magic trick where a spectator cuts a deck of cards several times, then inserts a special plastic credit card into the fanned deck. The magician selects the cards above and below the inserted card to reveal the value and suit of a predicted card, which is always found at the 12th position in the deck. The trick uses a standard deck of cards and a high-quality plastic card designed to look like a digital microchip, making it a fun and visually appealing prop for magicians.

What people are saying about Teacan 3000

It's a fun premise and it's a fun little prop right for those of us like me who like self-working tricks [...] this adds a little bit more to it than just using a joker right or something.
