Second Chance is a great little effect from Wayne Dobson.
Without you even touching the deck a spectator thinks of any card and removes it from the deck and hides it in their pocket. You then take another deck and claim that you are going to try and choose the same card that the
spectator has hidden in their pocket. You remove one card and the spectator removes the card from their pocket, however it is NOT the same card. You ask for a Second Chance to prove that you have chosen the same card. Turning over your card it is seen that the spectators ‘Thought of Card’ is written on the back, proving that it is the Same Card! Sounds impossible? It’s that good! Comes with an eight page booklet containing two other bonus routines – £10.00.
Our friends at Merlins of Wakefield are offering to supply the two Bicycle Decks needed for this effect, fully made up and ready to go for just £12.95. Just mention Bicycle-Cards.co.uk when you order.

Happy New Year to you! We have been round and double checked the prices on our Cheapest Bicycle Card Finder so you can make sure you are still getting your cards for magic at the cheapest price in 2010!
The good news is that the VAT rise doesn’t seem to have made a lot of difference yet. Only one price rise since the last check. Though sadly a couple of smaller dealers no longer seem to have websites so have possibly felt the crunch.
Hope you’re continuing to enjoy your card magic. If you want to take part in a survey to find the best card trick – follow this link to Vanishing Inc.
Big Blind Media are offering BuyOneGetOneFree on DVDs purchased between December 1st – 8th. You just buy one and then email sales@bigblindmedia.com with the name of a second one of the same or lesser value. Why not BOGOF and take advantage?! This would be a great time to get the new Bannon DVD (I promise a review soon…)
Also Trickshop.com are automatically offering a 15% seasonal discount off most publications and an extra $2.50 off any order of $4.95 if you use the voucher code 1225. That’s some great prices for some great magic.
The good folk at Trickshop.com regularly have special offers on, and this week they are offering a book called Applause by Senor Mardo for FREE. It is a nice little book, mainly ‘parlour’ magic but includes a few close up routines. Whilst you are over there, they are still offering the Expert at the Card Table for $2.95 which is about £1.70 with the current exchange rate – an absolute bargain. Visit Trickshop.com
For the card-aholics amongst you, Paul Gordon continues to offer various reductions on bundles of his excellent books and tricks. I am still intending to put a review of his new Card Startlers up, but have not had a minute to look at this yet. Watch this space…
Also, although we are primarily focused on the UK market, for those who are into Ellusionist, you will no doubt have heard about their annual holiday giveaway. If you are prepared to wait for your order to ship from the States, they are offering some good prizes – see their Holiday Giveaway page for more details. Of course they also sell a variety of custom Bicycle Decks for your performing pleasure.
That will do for now. Keep enjoying your Card Magic!
In case you haven’t picked this up elsewhere, we have noticed that MA ProMagic are offering a free deck of Bicycle Cards with every order over £25. They seem to have a good range of magic so well worth a look if you have other purchases in mind.
