Slipstream by Eric Stevens

Eric Stevens' Slipstream is not only one of the most intuitive, unique, and useful card effects for assorting torn and repaired cards, but it is fast becoming a staple in many magicians' repertoires.

Here's what happens:

A freely chosen card is selected, removed from the pile, and signed by a spectator if desired. You then proceed to fold and tear off one corner of the chosen card. You explain that you will return the card to normal and take out a mini stapler. The torn corner of the card is then stapled back to the card, but in an abnormal position, i.e. the centre of the selected torn card. After clearly showing both sides of the playing card, staple the corner to the card. You then place your hand on the bound corner and slowly push the corner through the staple and back completely to the corner where the playing card started. The card is ready for immediate distribution, inspection and preservation as a unique keepsake. While the staple remains in the middle of the card after the deck is restored.

With the Slipstream instructions, you will learn everything you need to know in great detail. It will also teach how to perform the complete process from multiple angles, as well as its many variations; including a gimmick-free version. As an added bonus, we teach a flow called Trimuda Berangle, in which Eric shows a very unique Slipstream demo with a blank card.

Slipstream has so many incredible moments we can't adequately express how wonderful this effect is. Of course, don't take my word for it; here's what many others have had to say about this almost playfully beautiful rip and repair deck!

"Eric's work on the torn and repaired cards is unique and very confusing, even for a knowledgeable magician - it really fooled me!

Three words. Clean. Innovative. Seriously, Eric hit another home run! Slipstream is very smart, has a very clear reason for everything, and is foolhardy as hell!

"Eric has a very creative mind. Slipstream is an example of playing with beauty. Such an amazing effect will destroy the viewer's mind. You say it's impossible? No, it's so bad I don't want you to buy it. " - Caroline Ravn

"I hate how good this is! It's like it's done so cleanly. Signed. Folded. Tearing. Binding. Both sides of the card show so cleanly. The wiggle of the staples and corners is so convincing! This is a great keepsake your audience will talk about and keep for many years!!!" - John Byng
