Light & Shadow

A powerful new take on the legendary Hofzinser Card. This is sure to be your go-to secret weapon for any magic performance!

Invented over a century ago, this ingenious gimmick has been largely underutilized in recent years due to the fact its quite difficult to make.

However, Sway Liu and Secret Factory are now thrilled to present Light & Shadow, a modern take on the Hofzinser Card that improves both the quality and versatility. One single card can now show a completely different card on the back when illuminated by a light source.

The Light & Shadow gimmick works with everything from the flashlight on your phone to candle light or even sunlight. Therefore, it can fit any performance style from a formal parlor show to street magic.

This visual magic trick is not one that can be easily described in writing. So, be sure to check out the trailer video to see how powerful it is.

Light & Shadow comes ready to perform out of the box. A complete routine is also included with your purchase.

NOTE: It is possible for the card to be handed out for examination at the end. But, this method is not explicitly taught in the instructions. However, once you have an understanding of the workings of the gimmick, you should be able to re-watch the trailer video and get a sense of how it's done.*

Instructions note: The instructions are taught in a foreign language, but there are English subtitles on the video.
