Talk:Floating match on card

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is this a real trick? Where does one get invisible elastics? How far does one have to be from the apparatus for the trick to work? (Is this suitable for close up magic?)

If someone can verify this effect works then please add a description of what appears to happen to the first paragraph and leave the explanation in the second paragraph. RJFJR 17:19, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes this is a real trick, and a classic close-up magic effect. As such, it can be performed safely "right under a spectator's nose." The gimmick for this trick can be purchased at most magic vendors. Verdad 04:21, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
