A remarkably creative and powerful thought-of card to sharpie routine unlike anything we've ever seen!

"It's the trick of the year for me!" Ekaterina

"Absolutely genius - a true piece of magic!" Piff the Magic Dragon

Note from Vanishing Inc.: While we do stock this product, please be advised that we did not create the trailer. Please refer to the description below to learn more about "Summit".

Teaming up with Abstract Effects and The Other Brothers, Patrick Kun is thrilled to introduce "Summit".

Using a practical method that can be carried in your pocket, you'll be able to conduct a thought-of card to Sharpie effect without any complicated switches of the cards or sharpie. Once a card is in play, it stays in play.

Here's How The Effect Works:. Your spectator thinks of a card and you hand them a Sharpie to write it down. Yet, the Sharpie won't write. Confused, you take back the Sharpie and open it up to reveal that there's actually a rolled up playing card inside. The Sharpie and card REMAIN IN VIEW THE ENTIRE TIME. They then name their card and you turn over the playing card from the sharpie to show it matches.

Built to look like a real Sharpie, the "Summit" gimmick was designed to be carried with you everywhere. It resets easily, making it ideal for close-up magicians and street magicians. It's easy to do and comes ready to go out of the box. There's even a method for performing "Summit" in your virtual magic shows!

IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION: While there is a method taught that uses equivoque and one that DOES NOT use equivoque, both methods are designed to make the spectator believe they have made a free selection of 52 cards. However, their selection is secretly limited to a bank of 12 cards.

Customer reviews for Summit

Hertzel
do not buy it. When I got to the summit I was very disappointed, this is very expensive and this is in  poor quality.
please save your money.
Derek
It's a decent effect, and clever method. If this specific effect appeals to you, it's worth a look. That said, this is somewhat similar to a lot of different effects out there, and the method is a bit clunky relative to the payoff. But I think the biggest issue is quality. The guys at abstract effects are extremely clever, but unfortunately they have started 3-d printing many of their gimmicks, this one included. I broke two of the gimmicks right out of the box -- and I tend to handle gimmicks gently -- but they just snapped in my fingers. 3d printing is great for prototypes, but definitely not for final products. (Vanishing Inc, in their usual impeccable customer service, arranged to replace the gimmick).
Due to quality, not recommended.

When I first saw the trailer I couldn’t work out how this effect was possible. When I watched some reviews before I received Summit I felt a little disappointed but once I watched the tutorial I realised that some reviews were a little harsh. The effect itself is good and to the spectator is amazing. The trailer makes it seem like any card can be chosen which is not true and I think that is what a lot of people have been most disappointed and annoyed about. In truth, the spectator is able to think of a card from about a quarter of a deck (there does not need to be a physical deck). This is still a reasonable range and to the spectator feels like they just thought of a random card. I performed this and when the card is pulled out from the sharpie and the spectator names the card, due to time misdirection it feels like they named a card that has magically appeared in a sharpie. As another review states there are some parts that are 3D printed. I had a minor chip in one of my parts but this doesn’t effect the performance. Also the 3D parts are never seen by the spectator if you have good crowd management. The reactions shown in the trailer are real as this is the same reaction I received when performing Summit. If this was a little cheaper I would say it is worth it but due to the price I would say only buy it if you like the effect and don’t expect to just say to your spectator, think of a card and then pull out that card from the sharpie. There is a little more involved but if done right gets a great reaction from the spectator and they will feel like they thought of a card that magically appeared in a sharpie.

the quality of the trick is poor but idea is great and I get big responses. The gimmick broke so I bought another one. I make a lot of money so if you want something that lasts this is not for you.

I love love love this effect and the overall story of it. Starting with a pen that stops working because their card is in it is brilliant.
Like other reviews, I agree with the disappointment of the poor quality of the gimmick. It’s thin, 3d printed and broke the first time I tried practicing it. I was unable to receive extra gimmick.
If that’s the way the gimmick is supposed to be, there needs to be an option to buy extra gimmicks for cheap which is not possible at the moment. It shouldn’t break in the first place.
