GINETTE & Co.
Ginette & Co.
By Butzi, Magicien
Effect:
Effect: A participant signs a card. The magician presents
his assistant: Ginette, a stuffed animal with rabbit ears.
Every time that magic happens, credit goes to Ginette.
But at some point the magician assures his participant
that the whole routine he has just seen was just an illusion because his card was held the whole time by a special person he trusts…Ginette. Very cleanly, he reveals a
card folded in four IN his assistant. It’s the signed card.
Ginnette’s anatomy:
This is ginette when you take her “skin” off. The duplicate card is concealed here

This a fun routine you can use with ANY audiences;
adults AND kids will laugh as you tell jokes about your
assistant.
Overview explanation:
Yes, it IS the classical mercury fold followed by a false
transfer (the card in Ginette is a duplicate card). It’s the
technique to palm the card after the fold and the introduction of a fun character in your show that changes
(everything, to my opinion).
In this step-by-step explanation, we will look at a mercury fold subtlety I use and at how you can pretend to
get the card out of Ginette.
