Magic Review - Rising Card by Daryl

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a thorough review of Daryl's "Rising Card in Envelope" download, available from Penguin Magic for just $8. This trick involves a spectator freely selecting a card, returning it to the deck, and then witnessing it mysteriously rise from a sealed envelope using only a pencil. David highlights the trick's accessibility, noting that all props are readily available and inexpensive. The 22-minute video, filmed in the Penguin Magic Theater, includes a live performance and Daryl's explanation, covering additional tips like handling a 'Jinx Peak' and improving finger breaks. The core technique relies on a card control method, with Daryl teaching the 'Automatic Jog Control' from Paul Harris, though any preferred method can be used. David appreciates the trick's versatility for both street magic and parlor settings, and its durability due to the lack of 'snappy' props. While he praises its cleanliness and affordability, David ultimately won't be adding it to his repertoire due to his preference for preserving his decks. He recommends it for magicians who prioritize ease of performance over deck longevity. The video concludes with a promotion for Magic Orthodoxy's membership, offering exclusive content like reviews, tutorials, and more.
