Amazing free card balancing stunt. Credit
your finely honed senses with magically balancing a glass of water on a playing
card.
Effect: A playing card is shown to
the spectator and is placed upright on a table, with the short edge of the card
facing upwards.
You then proceed to balance a glass of water ON THE
EDGE !! of the card. Watch the video below to view the
performance and learn the secret to this cool magic card balance
trick.
You Need: A
deck of card, paper glue or double sided sticky tape.
How It's
Done: Prepare your
gimmicked cards as follows.
Glue a second card to the
back of the front card, making sure that you only glue or stick half the card (
lengthwise ) together. This should allow one lengthwise edge of the second card
to be pulled back to form a "T" shape when required and support the
glass.
Tips: Practice this trick with a plastic
tumbler or glass until you can perform it confidently and know how much weight,
the cards can hold when you transfer the balance of weight of the glass to
it.
You can strengthen the gimmicked cards by gluing two cards
completely together and then half gluing a third card to the back of them, this
will give the gimmick a little more rigidity,
