WE SOLD OUT OF THIS GREAT TRICK AT THE 2009 I.B.M. CONVENTION IN NASHVILLE. Now you can do the GREAT SNAKE BASKET trick close-up and at a fraction of the price. This trick will not only completely baffle your audience, it is HISSSSterical! A red container marked DANGER - DEADLY SNAKE is emptied onto the table. The contents is a deck of Bicycle playing cards and a DANGEROUS POISONOUS CORAL SNAKE (ACTUALLY A CUTE COLORFUL TOY SNAKE). You claim that you have trained the snake to perform one of the most amazing card tricks the audience will ever witness. The snake suddenly bites you, which only gives you 3 minutes to live. Hopefully, you can finish this great card trick before you pass on. You now hypnotize the snake who goes limp at the snap of your fingers. A spectator selects a card. The spectators card is shown and placed back into the deck. The deck is placed BACK into the card box and closed. The card box is shown completely innocent and then dropped into the red container, which is shown to be empty. The snake is now awakened from his hypnotic trance and held by the tip of his tail. The snakes head is lowered into the container. IMPORTANT NOTE: YOUR HANDS NEVER ENTER THE CONTAINER AT ANY TIME. After some comic by-play, as you describe the snakes actions while locating the card, the snake is slowly lifted from the container. The snakes jaw is HOLDING ONE CARD. But, before turning the card around and showing its face, the container is turned over and out falls the card box, STILL TIGHTLY CLOSED. The red container is empty. To finish, you slowly rotate the snake so the audience can see the face of the card. The snake is holding the SPECTATORS SELECTED CARD. The best part of this effect is that it is SO EASY TO DO! NO DIFFICULT SLEIGHT-OF-HAND INVOLVED HERE! Comes complete with a cute active toy snake, a colorful red container, a special deck of Bicycle playing cards, the necessary gimmicks, Dicks complete routine with easy-to-follow instructions, including color photographs. This is one FANGtastic trick!
