Introduction This was inspired Chad Long ' s " Pop Gun " routine and with his kind permission I can share my version using a glue stick .
This version came out of necessity when I found myself at a friend ’ s place being asked to do some magic . I borrowed a deck of cards and a glue stick and came up with this ' Card on Glue Stick ' routine .
THE EFFECT : A card is signed and lost in the deck . You unscrew a glue stick and throw all the cards in the air . After the cards fall one card is left stuck to the top of the glue stick , it is the signed card .
PROPS : Deck of cards , glue stick . I like to use a larger glue stick because it is much more visual and easier to perform .
SET UP : The glue stick is standing up on a table to the right of me . This is important because it will hide something later on .
PERFORMANCE :
1
A card is chosen and signed . While that is being done you tell the audience you will only need half the deck . Ribbon spread half face down in front of you keeping the other half in your left hand .
Notice that the TOP card of the ribbon spread is right behind the glue stick .
