Sky Catch

Card Swords are classic props for a good reason. A card is selected and then lost in the pack before you spring the deck into the air and skewer it out of the sky.

It’s a killer effect, but there’s only one problem: The sword.

The effect may be cool, but the prop sure isn’t. Card Swords rarely look good up close, they’re a pain to travel with (TSA is NOT a fan), and they’re just not that practical.

These are the pain points that inspired Taylor Hughes to create Sky Catch.

To put it simply, Sky Catch is a Card Sword that makes sense in today's time. Rather than looking like a medieval sword, it looks like a grabber, the kind you’d find at a dollar store, or see at Disney picking up trash. We worked directly with Taylor to develop a new, modern design that retains everything great about the original effect, while making it easier, practical, and stronger than ever before.

Just like with a normal Card Sword, you have a card selected and lost into the pack. And just like before, you can spring the cards into the air and use “Sky Catch” to catch their card out of the sky. But now you can do it with a signed selection. No prep, no preloading, no palming required.

When we tell you this is right out of Taylor’s show, we mean it. He’s used Sky Catch as a running gag in his shows, and has used it to close his set at the Magic Castle, The Chicago Magic Lounge, and even at Magifest. He’ll teach you his full routine, complete with all the callbacks, running gags, and comedy.

Sky Catch is the very definition of packs small, plays big. Taylor’s routine works just as well for 20 people as it would for 20,000, and the foldable design allows it to easily fit in your carry-on, or even a backpack. The best part is, Sky Catch is super easy to do, since the same method that lets you perform Sky Catch with a signed card also makes it the easiest Card Sword around. In short, it's powerful, practical, and absolutely hilarious.

If you’ve ever looked for a powerful, high-energy, audience-tested closer that you can do with a deck of cards, this is it. Get Sky Catch today, exclusively from Vanishing Inc.
