Hofzinser’s Dream by Bennie Chickering

Hofzinser's Dream is that rare effect that looks EVEN BETTER in real life. The trailer can't fully convey how visually eye-popping this strange and memorable revelation is. The shadow of the pips on a playing card MORPH to produce a selected card. The best part? The gimmick is durable, totally reliable, and it works automatically.

Based on a principle by the legendary Hofzinser, this "update" brings the trick forward by causing the pips seen through a card not only to change, but to ANIMATE before the eyes of your audience.

This is also one of those wonderful "toys" that, when you inspect it, you'll be in awe of the craftsmanship. Without giving away too much, this card has been constructed to have an INTERNAL, movable layer that is easy to animate by just moving your finger forward and backward. The movement is imperceptible and covered during performance, but you can control the speed of the animation as it transforms.

Here's one really fun way we suggest using this: you already have a TERRIFIC source of light for this trick...your cell phone. If you turn on the flashlight feature of your phone and place it facing up on the table, you can create a terrific moment that lots of people can clearly see from all vantage points. This takes the Hofzinser concept--of showing a shadow of pips--and brings it into the 21st century.

Each of these gimmicks is handmade with great care, and they're VERY reasonably priced for what you receive. We're so pleased to be the exclusive carrier of Hofzinser's Dream.
