Bombay

More than just a single trick, Bombay is actually a versatile card magic principle you can apply to other card effects. Trickshop.com is pleased to bring you this new, print-on-demand PDF eManuscript for the wonderful Eddie Joseph card magic classic, Bombay. An effect which has been described over the years as "Sensational," "Unbelievable," and "A Magical Masterpiece!"

In addition to new photos, the original descriptions detailing the mechanics and handling of the effect have been re-written and brought up-to-date with the goal of making Bombay easier to set up and use. In case you're not familiar with Bombay, here's the standard two-deck presentation: You begin by offering the spectator a choice of two decks - one red and one blue. One deck is placed in his pocket and the other is removed from its case. The spectator now selects a card in the fairest manner possible and he does so, feeling completely confident that you did not influence his choice in any way whatsoever. Without looking at his card or showing you, he places it face down on the table. You now have him remove the other deck - the one he placed in his pocket earlier - and spread the cards face up on the table. There is one card and one card only reversed in the middle of the spread. He turns the reversed card face up and then does the same with the card selected moments earlier from the other deck. Both cards match!

Now get this, the effect is 100% self working! There are no moves. No complex formulas to remember or arithmetic to do in your head. And each deck contains exactly 52 cards. But Bombay is more than just a single trick, it's actually an innovative, versatile card magic principle you can apply to other card effects once you understand the secret. In addition to the presentation just described, six more effects are fully explained, so you can repeat the effect for the same spectators over an extended period of time with varied, though equally stunning results. Best of all, our new eManuscript makes learning to set up and use Bombay easier than ever before. We supply the downloadable eManuscript, you supply the cards.

Plus, ideas never before published
As a very special bonus, you'll also get new, never before published ideas on the effect from the brilliant German card expert and magic scholar, Reinhard Mueller.
