The Magnetized Cards - Close Up Magic from John Derris

Come a little closer into the magical world of John Derris at http://magicderris.com

Effect:
The magician shuffles a pack of cards and the spectator is invited to cut a small packet. The magician places the packet on his open palm and shows the cards one at a time which are then placed just under the packet forming a rosette.

This continues until a cluster of cards is balanced on the magician's hand. He then turns his palm over and the cards cling as if magnetized. Each card can be pulled away from the hand individually, shown and replaced and yet it still clings. Finally the spectator places his two hands under the cards and on a given signal all the cards drop mysteriously into his waiting palms. The magician shows his two open hands to demonstrate no glue, no wires, no threads and no gimmicks to explain this classic mystery.

Nate Leipzig made his name using this effect for years that was a closely guarded secret and only passed on later in his life.
