This is not just another Ambitious Card Routine! The Ambitious Paradox is Javi Benitez’s incredible routine around the Spring Deck, which allows you to transform the entire deck into an impossible object that the audience will never see coming.

A card is signed by the audience to disprove the use of duplicates. It is inserted in the middle of the deck in the clearest manner possible, and yet it rises to the top of the deck. The magician explains that there is a small spring in the deck that lifts the card, and offers to repeat the effect multiple times. Then, at the end of the routine, the entire deck transforms into the spring shape, like an accordion, before transforming back into lose cards that can be shuffled. You need to see the ending in the performance above to believe it!

You receive the Spring Deck gimmick along with a tutorial video that explains the ins and outs of the routine. The sleights used in Javi’s routine are all easy, and they take advantage of gimmicks that you receive to make it even easier than a standard Ambitious Card, and fooling even to magicians. Best of all, there’s no deck switch required – the same deck that you use for the Ambitious Card sequence is the one that turns into the spring, and the deck never leaves their sight.
