STC Sharpie Through Card by Peter Nardi!

Peter Nardi delivers a captivating performance and review of the 'Sharpie Through Card' trick, showcasing its deceptive visual impact and ease of execution. The illusion creates the appearance of a Sharpie pen piercing a playing card, achieved through a clever optical illusion and precise angle control – there's no actual hole in the card! Peter highlights the trick's portability, requiring only a deck of cards and a Sharpie, and suggests adding a signature to the card enhances the illusion's believability. He emphasizes the importance of controlling the viewing angle to maximize the effect and playfully acknowledges that he can't personally see the illusion, encouraging the audience to observe it from their perspective. Ultimately, Peter is thoroughly impressed, describing the trick as 'insane' and immediately purchasing it for £25, recommending it as a simple yet powerful addition to any magician's routine, particularly as an attention-grabbing opener.
