MERCURY MATCHBOX by Mark Southworth
Illusioncraft is proud to present Mercury Matchbox by Mark Southworth. The card box is on the table in full view of the spectator. A card is freely selected, signed and returned to the middle of the deck. The performer announces that the card is no longer in the deck, and that it is now in the card box.
The spectator opens the card box and empties out the contents. To their surprise there is a matchbox inside. The performer takes the matchbox, opens it and unbelievably reveals that there is a folded up playing card inside. The performer tips it out, and proceeds to unfold it. It is the spectators signed card!
• Instant reset
• Easy to perform
• Available in red or blue Bicycle cards
Mercury Matchbox comes complete with a custom made gimmick, DVD & bonus handlings. Includes handling which allows the card to somersault from the box and into the waiting hands of a spectator!

Mercury Matchbox shortcoming
The "Mercury Matchbox" effect and gimmick are top notch. The video teaches everything you "need" to know to perform the effect. That being said, I wish a few things had been addressed. 1) I wish you could choose the color of the gimmick. I use red cards and the gimmick i received is blue. I was given no choice for color. 2) I wish that the mercury card fold had been explained a little more in depth being that that is the pivotal sleight used in the effect. 3) I wish you could have included some additional handling and routines just to give more value for the money. However like I said, overall the DVD is an excellent buy. The gimmick is very clever. I wish I had thought of it.
