Dead Lock

Michael's modern take on the old school Rising Card trick is great for both the beginner looking to dabble and the lazy professional. Although the method is easy, the effect stands strong.


After accidentally causing the wrong card to rise from the pack the magician magically changes it into the selection. Almost no sleight of hand is required and you end clean with the selection protruding from the middle of the deck.

Great effect and it's not remotely knuckle-busting, but it might require more dexterity than the description and some of the reviews lead you to believe ("a beginner looking to dabble"). As you can see in the video, you need a good mechanic's grip (to hold the deck straight when you lift it), you need to be able to dribble smoothly, and you really need to be able to fan the cards smoothly at the end to sell it. No difficult sleights, but it will take some practice in front of a mirror to get the moves right and look as good as Michael. It's nothing unreasonable, but don't impulse buy thinking you'll have it down five minutes after watching the video.

This trick is wonderful, yet so simple!

I can't articulate how much fun this trick is to perform in front of friends, it's truly hilarious, and Michael Stern's take (and patter) on a fairly basic move is amazing... Love it, lots of fun! :) I highly recommend it, especially for beginners!

I got this trick a coulple days ago. It was really easy to learn and to execute. I fooled some friends of mine. They were astonished. Try it yourself!

Being a friend of Stern's I have seen him do this trick at the Magic Castle a few times. I never figured it out until now! It's a great trick that he really thought out well. Buy it now!

This trick is great, so glad I decided to buy it and will definitely continue to use this. I look forward to more from Mr. Stern

When the first saw this trick I thought it was accomplished by using the 'Raise Rise' sleight, however. After I bought it I soon found at that it's actually 10 times easier than I imagined. A beginner can do it!
