Snake Basket Illusion (5142)

A volunteer is asked if he (or she) would like to learn a magic trick. He is given a regular deck of cards which he takes into the audience, asking a second volunteer to choose a card.

The second spectator is instructed to tear off and keep a corner of the card for identification purposes (the card can be signed as well) and return the torn card to the deck. The first volunteer returns with the cards, which are placed on a table next to a basket. The volunteer is instructed on how to coax the assistant, a snake, to reveal the chosen card.

Your hand never goes in the basket! At the end of the routine the snake jumps from the basket, producing the chosen card on the end of its snout. The surprise is total! This routine NEVER fails to leave the audience rolling in the aisles with laughter!

In the past (no longer available) there was the PRO VIPER III Basket by Terry Lunceford which has exactly the same effect as this Snake Basket Illusion – except that you also can make this basket shake before and during the effect so the audience gets aware that there is something alive in the basket. This was not built in the original version!

Includes wicker snake basket (approx. 25 x 23 cm), spring snake, remote, carry bag and instructional video.
