The famous stage illusion in miniature!
Most magicians are familiar with the classic Zig-Zag illusion, in which a magician apparently divides an assistant into three sections and slides the middle section sideways. One of the most famous grand illusions in the history of magic!
Now, French magician and ingenious card magic inventor Mickael Chatelain has created an impressive close-up version, performed with an ordinary playing card.
You take a card from your deck, for example the Queen of Hearts, and place it between two small plates with openings, allowing your spectators to clearly see the card throughout.
With a magical gesture, you suddenly slide the middle section of the Queen of Hearts sideways! The card appears to have been divided into three sections, exactly like the famous Zig-Zag stage illusion!
It looks absolutely impossible. And just as surprisingly, you slide the middle section back into place, remove the card and allow your spectators to examine both the card and the plates.
ZIG-ZAG 2 is another ingenious creation from Mickael Chatelain, combining clever construction with a stunning visual illusion that requires no difficult sleight of hand.
We supply ZIG-ZAG 2 with a specially prepared playing card featuring a red Bicycle Rider Back design, together with access to detailed English-language video instructions.
If you don't already own a regular red Bicycle deck, you will probably want to order one along with ZIG-ZAG 2, so you have a complete deck from which to apparently select the card.
