ESCAPE by Mickael Chatelain (3065)

Hand out a two foot ribbon for
examination.

Invite your spectators to pull on it
and to verify that the ribbon is absolutely ordinary.

Now show a deck of cards with a hole
through the upper left corner. 52 cards, 52 holes.

Explain to your spectators that they
will soon pass the ribbon through the 52 cards and will tie a knot so as to
completely imprison the entire deck.

Have a spectator select a card and
show it to the others.

The card is shuffled back into the
deck.

As mentioned at the beginning of the
trick, the spectator now passes the ribbon through the deck and ties a tight
knot — even a double knot, if he wishes.

It is now totally impossible to
change the order of the cards — a fact your spectators will willingly
acknowledge.

Show everything from all sides to the
spectators and hold the deck face up in front of them.

The deck is still there ? The knot is
securely tied ? The chosen card is still in the deck ?

During these three questions pass
your hand rapidly in front of the deck and believe it or not, the spectator’s
card is now the face card of the deck.

Your spectators can immediate examine
the whole setup !!

How is this possible ?

How can the chosen card escape from
the center and arrive at the face of the deck while the ribbon secures the cards
?

The most scrupulous examination will
reveal nothing — the mystery will only deepen.

Imagine the following…

As soon as the spectator has finished
his examination of the deck, you pass your hand once again over the spectator’s
card.

And once again, the impossible
happens.

The spectator’s card is now free!
Yes, the spectator’s card is the only card to have escaped the knotted
ribbon.

Give the card for examination.
There’s nothing to see — the hole remains intact.

A passage of solid
through solid — an unfathomable mystery !
