Nikola Arkane • Penn & Teller: Fool Us • Tarot cards through handkerchief

Ойын-сауық

Nikola Arkane with Penn and Teller on their magic TV-show "Fool Us" in Las Vegas (USA).
This performance piece is based on the work "Card Percolation" (2013), which in turn is conceptually inspired by "Colour Filter", a little known item by Alex Elmsley (1998).

    Great trick and presentation. I like the simplicity and straight forwardness of it, it makes it seem more impossible. I thought I knew how this trick was done, but then what Penn said, I thought mine wasn't the right one. Thought about it more and I'm pretty sure I figured it out. It's a good trick that I'm sure other magicians would want to perform.

Original material, Scripting, body movements, interaction, sleight of hand all whilst being terribly nervous in front of my biggest heroes well, that is an achievement in itself!

    The tarot deck was invented in the 15th century for card games. They weren't used for "fotune telling" until the 18th century and charlatans invented a false occult backstory for the cards to make people think they had magic powers. Satanic rituals aren't real. That's just make-believe by con men.
