Walking Thru a Brick Wall by Martin Schwartz Walking Thru a Brick Wall by Martin Schwartz is an entertaining card effect that combines strong magic with the story of one of Harry Houdini's most unusual illusions. Rather than simply locating a selected card, you present a complete theatrical routine in which the spectator's signed card apparently passes straight through a solid brick wall. The story begins in 1914 at the Hippodrome Theatre in New York City, where Houdini presented his famous Walking Through a Brick Wall illusion. A genuine brick wall was constructed on stage. Houdini disappeared behind a screen on one side and, moments later, appeared on the other.

The effect and experience

Despite the astonishing effect it had on the audience, the illusion never became a regular part of his repertoire. With Walking Thru a Brick Wall, you tell this remarkable story before announcing that you will attempt Houdini's feat yourself - using nothing more than a deck of cards and a miniature brick wall. A spectator freely selects a playing card and signs it. The card is returned to the deck, and the entire deck is placed back inside the card box. The boxed deck is then positioned on top of the brick wall.

Performance possibilities

Now the spectator can remove the card box themselves. When the brick wall is lifted, their signed card is discovered underneath. Somehow, impossibly, the spectator's card has passed straight through the wall. The signed card makes the revelation particularly convincing, eliminating any doubt about its identity. At the same time, the Houdini story gives the effect a natural dramatic structure and makes the routine far more engaging than a conventional card location.

Details and use

The audience understands exactly what is about to be attempted: Houdini walked through a brick wall - now their signed card is going to attempt the same impossible feat. Walking Thru a Brick Wall is easy to perform. The mechanical deck does the necessary work, allowing you to concentrate on storytelling, timing and interaction with your audience. This makes it an excellent choice for magicians looking for an unusual card effect with a clear premise, entertaining presentation and memorable magical ending. You receive: Mechanical deck Cardboard brick wall Online video instructions A distinctive combination of card magic, storytelling and classic Houdini history, culminating in a freely selected and signed playing card performing its own version of Walking Through a Brick Wall.
