Make cards disappear or appear and perform impossible card effects – all without any sleight of hand! Science Friction belongs in every magician’s repertoire, whether you’re a beginner or a professional.
In 2011, Card Chark released Alexander Kölle’s legendary Science Friction Spray, which has changed the world of magic forever.
Science Friction is a special coating for playing cards that works differently from traditional rough-and-smooth card preparation. Only one card needs to be prepared – no matching partner card is required.
Science Friction is not a “sticky substance” that permanently causes cards to cling together. Unlike sticky cards, the treated card can be separated easily when no pressure is applied to the prepared area. However, when pressure is applied, the card will reliably adhere to any other card. This allows cards to vanish or reappear effortlessly during a spread, and even enables automatic double lifts without sleight of hand. Countless incredible effects are now possible with minimal handling.
Following years of success with the spray, we now introduce the ingenious Science Friction Stick, specially designed for playing cards. Achieve the same astonishing effects with this practical, precise, and travel-friendly solution – ideal as a quick fix, a convenient addition, or an alternative to the spray.
Because the original Science Friction Spray is an aerosol, it is classified as a “Dangerous Good” and cannot be shipped by air, making worldwide distribution outside Europe impossible. The Science Friction Stick solves this problem and is now available worldwide.
Forget all other rough-and-smooth sprays or sticks. With this odorless stick, you can prepare part or all of a playing card in seconds, and the card is ready to use immediately.
The instructional video teaches several seemingly impossible card effects that you can perform right away. We include an assortment of gimmicked cards for Phoenix Decks (Classic Index and Phoenix Index) as well as Bicycle Decks, allowing you to perform all the demonstrated routines. (Regular deck not included.)
