Magic Review - Rising Card by Jack Tighe

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a thorough review of "Rising Card" by Jack Tighe, a product from Big Blind Media. The video, costing $9.40, is structured with a brief performance followed by a detailed 10-minute tutorial. David highlights the elegance of the effect – a spectator freely selects a card which then mysteriously rises from the deck – and praises its versatility as it can be performed with a borrowed deck, avoiding the need for gimmicks or forces. However, he emphasizes that this is an intermediate-level trick, demanding a solid foundation in sleight of hand, including techniques like holding a break, bringing a card to the top, jogging a card, and smooth deck handling. The tutorial is well-produced with clear close-up camera work, and Jack Tighe thoughtfully teaches the necessary techniques rather than assuming prior knowledge. David appreciates the effect's ability to be performed in any situation with a borrowed deck, stressing the importance of card preservation. Inspired by routines from David Williamson and Fred Robinson, "Rising Card" is ultimately recommended for intermediate magicians seeking to refine their skills and expand their repertoire, proving that mastering complex techniques is a rewarding path for any magician.
