DEDALUS WORKS WITH YOUR OWN CARD CASE !

Dedalus is a gimmick that can be applied to any poker sized card case (Bicycle, Tally Ho, Bee). It allows you to perform an extra clean, self working and angle proof switch of a small number of cards (up to six) or billets. You may also use it to handle up to four different outs in mental effects. The gimmick, reliable and durable, resets in seconds and can be secretly removed.

Use Dedalus for transposition effects, to perform Henry Hardin’s classic “The Princess Card Trick”, or together with an Al Koran’s Deck in mental effects… The sky is the limit! 🙂

Read Eugene Burger’s review of Dedalus!!

Eugene Burger Dedalus Florence Art Edizioni

“Simone Venturi’s Dedalus is an exceedingly clever mechanical way to exchange a playing card simply by putting it in the card box. The card box is later turned over and the exchanged card falls out. You can exchange up to four playing cards in this way (actually, up to six!). I can imagine its use in a Four Ace Routine where four indifferent cards are fairly dropped into the card box and later the four Aces drop out. Simone has opened a door for us here and I can imagine many magicians entering and taking this in many different directions.”

How cool Dedalus looks in action!

Strong points

	The actual switch is totally self working and takes only a moment. Totally self contained, nothing to be seen from the outside.
	Before and after the change, the card case can be handled freely. You can perform it totally surrounded and a spectator may even hold the card case himself.
	The gimmick can be secretly ditched so that the cards can be put away in the box. Durable and reliable: when the card box wears out, just move the gimmick to a new one!

* FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS *

What’s so special about Dedalus?
Simple: it is AWESOME! 🙂 No other gimmick can accomplish all the things Dedalus does in the way it does.

Is it really self working?
Yep, absolutely. Just spend the first twenty minutes to familiarise with the simple mechanic and it will be yours forever.

How many cards can I switch using Dedalus?
Up to six and, with extra care, probably seven. The optimum is four or five (it was created for a four card change that could KILL people – and it does).

Can I perform the Dedalus Change in any performance situation?
By all means! You can be totally surrounded by spectators and no one will see anything. TV, table hopping, formal close up…

Can’t I just use a Himber wallet instead?
That depends on the context of the effect: you may even use a mirror glass for that matters, but if you are looking for a switching device that will draw absolutely no attention to itself, you need Dedalus. What could be more reasonable than putting some cards back where they came from?

What kind of card case should I use?
Virtually any poker sized card case will work: all the standard-in-magic cards are ok, such as Bicycle (old case, new case), Tally Ho, Bee, Fournier, Aviator, Atlantis, Phoenix and probably others.

Can I take out the deck from the box in front of an audience and perform the Dedalus Change right away?
Er… not really. The loaded box isn’t exactly empty, you know 🙂 BUT after the change you may ditch the gimmick and put the deck back in the case!

Will it break?
No. Properly treated, it will last you for a very long time. When the card case wears out, you will have to replace it, but the actual gimmick will not break. Just move it to a new card case.

Quanto ci vuole per riprepararlo?
If you take it slow, ten seconds.

I am a beginner in Magic: can I use Dedalus?
Of course! As we said, Dedalus is totally self working. You will benefit from it at its full when your knowledge of audience management and psicology will increase, but you may use it TODAY. We are pleased to provide you with a very cool basic effect, called Fatal Attraction (download it here for free).

What do I need to handle extra outs?
Actually, nothing. Dedalus, as it is, can be used to change cards or billets and to handle TWO separate outs. To handle four outs, extra preparation is required (we provide you with that little something). Please see the instructions.

All this seems too good to be true! Is it really?
Yes! Yes! YES! Haven’t you read what Max Maven, Roberto Giobbi, David Stone, Pit Hartling and Aurelio Paviato have said? We are sure that you will be delighted, too!

Why the name “Dedalus”?
Why not? Other reasons are detailed in the booklet 🙂
