A mind-blowing new take on a classic effect. Double Exposure by Asi Wind is a reality-altering version of Triumph that happens within a borrowed camera under your spectators complete control.
Performed by David Blaine on national television. For those of you who have seen David Blaine's TV Magic special, "Real or Magic", you know how powerful "Double Exposure" by Asi Wind is.
There are no gimmicks or special applications needed. 100% impromptu. Just you, a deck of cards, and a borrowed camera are all that's necessary.
In addition to Asi teaching multiple handlings of the trick in great detail you will be able to watch two full-length live performances, with and without commentary, along with a short interview where Asi provides performance tips and more.
NOTE: You will need to know how to do a faro shuffle to perform this effect. It does not need to be a perfect faro shuffle. If you're just getting started with the faro shuffle, this is a great effect to practice it with.
Customer reviews for Double Exposure
This trick really worths that money and I'm very happy that I bought it.
Interestingly, it's not that hard, and the techniques used were of intermediate level. But what was outstanding is the effect -- beautiful, and clean, especially when the triumph is clearly captured in an audience's phone. With the added two-phase triumph, the effect leaves a permanent mark on the audience.
Angles for me wasn't that hard, especially since the people whom I was showing the trick to were eager to rummage in front of the lens. People in my back would see the fan triumph at the back, but still, my performance was commended when I did the open triumph. No one jumped in surprise, but the hanging jaws were really fun to watch.
For a first-time buyer here, I am glad to have purchased this one. A must-buy!
Definitely worthwhile buying as it is a solid routine you can easily build on or use techniques from.
LOVE IT!
One negative though, is that I think they should have had a tips section, as it's a 6 minute explanation and he just tells you what he is doing, and doesn't really explain how to do it.
Highly Recommend.
I recommend this to every card magician and to every other magicians out there these days. The method is simple, yet extremely effective and pure in every way. For this price, you could get other things for sure, but they wouldn't bring you as far as this piece will, when you learn it.
What I love about this effect is it not only is practical, and simple enough to perform, but that it really feels lie real magic. Highly recommended.
That being said, after about a day I realized how wrong I was. I quickly learned how to do the sleight, and ever since have been performing this every day. This works as a great replacement, OR addition to Kostya Kimlat's caligula triumph, which in my opinion, makes this the perfect opener or closer.
Definitely worth every minute to practice it.
The unexpexted final reveal, the fact that the spectators can keep a photo that they can show to their friends, and the very fair handling make this effect truly unique.
The explanation is clear, but you will have to rewind it a few times to fully understand the moves; once you have it down though, you have a wonderful new effect in your arsenal. Higly recommended
I LOVE this trick. An unrealistic experience that brings any spectator to believing in your "magical powers."
I have performed this every where and received stunning responses. I was surprised at first because it was relatively easy to learn and not too hard to perform. The magnitude of the reactions that I got were extraordinary. Even though it requires a slight set up (Which you can do discreetly in front of the spectator), the trick is easy to perform. When I first learned it, I performed Double Exposure as the first trick of the show. Soon after I realized the caliber of the effect and made it my closing trick. Due to that minor change, ratings for the show went up. If you do not learn Double Exposure, you are missing a huge opportunity. If I can perform one trick for the rest of my life, it would be Double Exposure.
Art of Magic has SO many available tricks that I can learn to show to friends.
Thank you Art of Magic!
It took two days of practice to get it to the primary shaky working level with which I first presented it. Mr Wind is a clear teacher, although he assumes you will know some moves and does not explain them (pressure fan, faro shuffle). This information can be found elsewhere.
The instruction is clear - I especially liked the recap and the pausing of the video with highlights of specific cards - excellent and understandable. Camera angles were very good and I was able to pick up everything needed. Sometimes it went a bit fast and I missed things but by watching it multiple times it worked out (e.g. flip the deck).
The audio engineering was sub par and a bit disappointing. On the third video I had to turn the volume to maximum and was still unable to catch some of the points. Hopefully AoM will fix this.
I am very happy to have bought this and would give it 5 stars except for the poor sound quality.
The method is brilliant and isn't too difficult to learn either.
I also love that its all impromptu and doesn't require any gaffs...
just a regular standard or borrowed deck of cards!
Asi is the G.O.A.T Love all his work! its a MUST to have in your bag of tricks!
With that being said, I have not gotten a dull reaction to this yet!
This is triumph on steroids! if done right, they never see it coming. GET IT NOW!!
There is one move to learn that may be new for you- but it’s not the type that takes hours of practice. It’s the type that you just need to fiddle with a bit until you figure out the right pressure and finger placement for you, then it becomes easy and second nature.
This is a great trick for less experienced performers who may get nervous performing: (1) there is zero heat on you while you are doing the necessary moves, and (2) you don’t need to control the card!
Another high quality download from Vanishing Inc. If I had known how much I would use this effect, I would easily have paid 100x the cost.
Asi instructions aren’t to the point which I love , not tedious at all. The performance on the video is what you are getting , he algo goes into a second phase if you want to finish the triumph doing the roadrunner Cull but of course that’s not explained since the move is form a DVD by Kostya.
What he teaches is exactly what you are in the demo and it’s such a smart process and the beauty of the pressure fan when you get it right is incredible.
Great purchase this is going straight into my repertoire. Well done Asi.
You’re also going to need to know three other card manipulations that he does not teach. Two of them are standard but will require practice if you don’t know them and one of them could be learned with a $45 download if you want the best results with the effect.
I think if you’re going to put out a trick where the product is the teaching of the secret then you have a responsibility to teach EVERYTHING required to do the trick. That’s why I didn’t go four stars with this review. I also think magicians should record a rough demo and see if a beginning magician can do the effect just by watching the video. Experienced magicians can always fast forward through things they know, a beginner has few options if the information they need isn’t included. Great, great effect with teaching that pales in comparison.

The method is great – especially because the use of the smartphone will act as a red herring for most spectators and they will never figure out the technique. The only downside of this trick is that it requires you to a specific sleight very well in order to work.
After purchasing this and putting the practice in this trick is amazing, the tutorial is perfect teaches everything you need to know to execute the trick perfectly.
I have performed this a number of times and each time leaving the spectator completely confused
A very professional looking effect and a real power house worker.
go ahead and bye this amazing card trick

The performances and alternate handlings were very good. Just note that in his performance David Blaine used a prediction element that's not part of the original trick. That element isn't taught at all. It's an interesting touch but the trick doesn't require it and, in my opinion, is actually better without it.

Pros: It's a 100% impromptu, streamlined card trick that's not an ACR! I've performed Double Exposure at private gigs and in public settings when I've been handed a deck and asked to do a trick.
Cons: Unless you have little-to-no sleight experience (see below*), the only con I'd say is that the buildup is somewhat slow (but totally worth the wait!).
*Please keep in mind that you have to be able to perform a pressure fan, a (near) perfect faro, and an optional, non-mandatory sleight that I won't mention for this effect. If you are new to magic, I'd recommend practicing said moves before purchasing this effect.
It's so clever and still incredible. It's a little tricky to get the hang of, but once you do, the reactions and results speak for themselves. Still an amazing piece after all this time.

I recommend it.

The explaination could have been more detailed at a specific part of it, but thats maybe just my very individual perspective and in total the whole product was explained and filmed very well.

I'd suggest it only for experienced card magicians who can fill in the blanks and improvise where needed. And you can't half-ass the fans; you need to be good at them or else it will look bad and/or not work properly, so if you're more of a sleighter than a flourisher, bear that in mind.
I wouldn't unmix the cards though, after the revelation of the phone, it's an anticlimactic moment after a true miracle. If you can do it the other way around, it's much better (easier version too!).

Highly recommended for intermediate to advanced card magicians.
Worth the money.
Not all tricks are, but this one is definitely.
Thank you Thank you Thank you

Firstly - absolutely terrible tutorial. Nothing but a reverse close-up of the guy's hands and he just glosses over how it's done. Nothing in-depth at all.
I'm sorry to say that the mistake is on me though. I'm a freak because I'm right handed but I hold the cards in my right hand and control them with my left. This means that when I fan the cards, I fan them right to left, meaning that the numbers on the cards can't be seen. I could use cards with numbers in all four corners, but it's inconvenient to do that for just 1 trick.
Hope I can still find a way to do it, otherwise I've just wasted £17.40 :(

This is a brilliant effdct. Well worth the price!
I also like how the moves are not very technical and allow for a pretty decent margin of error, its honestly hard to mess this trick up.
100% worth the money as this is for sure going in most routines.
Pros
- Incredibly easy to do for anyone with basic sleight of hand.
- Short, simple instructions
- Incredible reactions to this.
Cons
- Doesn't teach the cull (not his to teach)

Allen asks: I also am interested in the david blaine version that is not explained since it's in the video.It seems like it should be explained because he asks the spectator to merely think of a card.And that card ends up reversed in the spread, which is mind blowingly amazing. It would be real swell if this was explained. Is there any way to find out the method?
- 1. Allen responds:I did some searching, and there was an explanation, I found on one website that he perhaps had used some pre show and dual reality with the choice of the named card in david blaine's version of the effect.Which sounds reasonably credible as the method.But not for sure
Brandon asks: Looks fun. It mentioned David Blaine and if I remember correctly, what made it completely unreal in his special is that he asked the spectator "think of a card," not draw one. After taking the pic the spectator says his card and there it is in the pic. Is there any resources for "his version?"
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Hey! This isn’t something we are familiar with but this sounds super fun and interesting
Lucas asks: How long is the tutorial?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:The main explanation is 6 minutes however there are other supports videos included also
Paul asks: Is this iPhone specific?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Not at all.

Vishy asks: Does this video provide step-by-step instructions on how to do the trick?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Yes
Nick asks: Could this trick be well executed online? Screen shot?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:They need to hold the fan of cards, so it's not really one for online.
Edward asks: do I really need to fan out the cards? can I just spread out the cards to take the photo
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:You need to fan them.
- 2. Rene responds:It’s better if you pressure fan them
Lewis asks: Do you need to know how to perform a farro shuffle in order to perform this?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Ideally yes, but it doesn't need to be exact. It's a great effect for if you are learning the faro
Richard asks: Does the pack of cards also flip over or just the photo
- 1. David Matkin responds:Just the photo - the guy with glasses thought it had failed as there was more than one card face up in the spread of cards on the table.
- 2. Garry responds:The guy with the glasses, it was meant to be a face up and face down spread, as this is part of the fooler, as the magician then said look at the photo, not the spread.
- 3. Garry responds:You create a face up face down stack, do the spread as the fooler, then do the presure fan, this then creates the reveall in the photo.
- 4. Garry responds:To pull this trick off, You need to no 3 important MOVES, WHICH HE DOES NOT TEACH YOU THESE, Which Are: No1. The Under Pass No2. The farro shuffle. No3. The Pressure Fan.
