Next Meeting: 15 October 2026 | Theme: Card Magic Challenge Trophy | Location: NLB Drama Center

PLUG-IT

“Plug-It” is card fishing brought up to date.  Instead of playing cards, 10 cards depicting different symbols of social media are shown.  A spectator selects one symbol, say, the Facebook symbol.

A paper bag is shown empty inside.  The cards are dumped inside the bag.

The performer brings out a length of charging cable, complete with the charging heads at both ends.  He lowers one end into the bag.  When he lifts up the cable, the chosen symbol is seen penetrated at one end of the charging cable.

You receive the 10 different social media cards, 3 duplicate of these card specially prepared, the gimmicked charging cable and a gimmick charging head.  You also receive a link to a 9-minute video tutorial.  You have to supply your own paper bag.

The effect is colourful, visual and not difficult to do.  The paper bag can be first examined as it is not gimmicked.  All the “dirty” work takes place inside the bag.

Gustavo teaches you how to prepare your playing cards for this effect, instead of using the social media cards.  (Rated 4.5/5 stars)
