The traditional Card in Bottle plot has a problem. The card can't be signed, the bottle has to be pre-loaded and the reveal is getting the spectator to 'discover' the card at the end of the routine. In short - it's a trick that misses the mark.



Laura London however, doesn't miss.

The incredible thinking behind this effect manages to tick every box for the ultimate on-the-spot performance.

The card is signed. The magical moment is instant. The spectator is left with an impossible souvenir.

This is the effect that Laura uses to close every show - and it's the reason why she's booked solid for

months in advance.

A card is selected and signed by the spectator. The spectator replaces the card anywhere in the deck and shuffles the deck themselves. The deck is spread on the table and the spectator verifies their card is still in the stack.



The deck is picked up and INSTANTLY smacked against the bottom of an empty bottle --

BAM!

Their

signed card

has penetrated through the bottom of the bottle in a

blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment

. The card-in-bottle can now be given out as a souvenir.

Avery C. ★★★★★

Finally, a version that actually lets the spectator sign the card before it appears in the bottle. That simple change makes the whole reveal feel much more impossible and fair to them.

Grace ★★★★★

Being able to actually sign the card changes everything about how this plays. No pre-loading means I can hand the bottle out before the trick even starts and it still hits.

Nicholas ★★★★★

Finally a version where the card can actually be signed before it goes in, which fixes the one thing that always bugged me about this plot. The pre-load problem is gone too, so I can hand the bottle out for inspection instead of guarding it all night.
