Michael O'Brien - Ambitious Ink

Effect: A spectator's signed card is lost into the deck, then continuously rises to the top under impossible conditions. It is revealed that the reason for this is the "Magic Ink" contained in the sharpie. The magician draws a mark on the spectator's shirt then instantly wipes it off to prove the marker is magic! He then visibly peels the spectator's signature off of the card places it into the spectator's hand, then causes it to jump back onto the card. For the climax, a second spectator signs a card, their signature is removed and tossed back onto a card. However, this time, their signature lands on a different card, the FIRST spectator's selected card. The card now has signatures on both sides and can be handed out for examination.

This effect is incredibly visual and the perfect ending for any signed card effect. The moment you remove the signature and hold it between your fingertips, the audience will lose their minds! Combine this with an "anniversary waltz" type effect for a super clean and visual jumping ink effect.
