A.P.E by Trick Trick Boom and Craig Petty

This video showcases A.P.E., a clever packet trick by Craig Petty available from Trick Trick Boom, which brilliantly translates the famous invisible gorilla selective attention experiment into a close-up magic routine. Using three cards designed by Phill Smith, the magician engages the audience by having them count basketballs, only to shock them with the sudden appearance of a gorilla across the cards, leading to reactions of chaos and disbelief. Praised by magicians like Lloyd Barnes and Peter Nardi for its engaging and fun nature, the trick is highlighted as incredibly easy to perform with a quick reset and minimal pocket space, making it ideal as an opener or closer that delivers a powerful sucker punch effect.
