Clearance Sale | The Mobius Rising Card by TCC Magic & Chen Yang

Great

The purchase and delivery went fine however I rate the gimmick a 2 since the weight is so heavy that it is difficult to control as a slowly rising card.

The gimmick is exceptionally well made and an excellent upgrade from a previous version I bought years ago.

Haven't gigged it yet but it looks and feels good

Very thin version of a well-known principle which therefore offers more possibilities than other versions. However, I would have liked a more sophisticated way of fixing the playing cards than the usual adhesive film method. The workmanship and functionality are quite good on first inspection. A long-term function test is still pending, but at the moment I'm quite happy with this version.

The gimmick came broken. Can't use it. Total waste of money. Never again. You lost a customer.

As per everything i have purchased from TCC this is a well constructed item and does what they say. It is not my favourite TCC product but I am still very happy with it.

Je suis très agréablement surpris par ce gimmick, c’est vraiment un outil génial, je recommande vivement

My favourite card trick is the rising card/haunted card trick, and this version is great, and it is very easy to do.

EXCELLENT

I would like to use this rising card effect as part of a routine, which will include “aces front” - by Karl Germain and Alan Wakeling. So it is currently a work in progress and I am very pleased with the quality of the rising card apparatus you have created.

The product employs the same approach as other previous rising card effects, however the quality of the product exceeds that of previous products and the "how" is clever and updated. It is very good. Recommend the purchase of this product.

The principle and basic workings of this rising card effect are not new. However, what makes the Mobius gimmick rise above the others is that it is so thin - the whole gimmick is the thickness of six playing cards. As I have come to expect from TCC, the gimmick feels extremely well made and, if looked after, should last a very long time. I have bought a number of TCC effects over the past year and have been absolutely delighted by all of them.

THE MOBIUS RISING CARD by TCC Magic, is a beautifully crafted gimmick which is the thickness of a few playing cards. The internal working mechanism is extremely smooth and works like a charm repeatedly. If you wish, you can make a single chosen card rise, or multiple selections rise up from your deck. Supreme craftsmanship and a cost which is a mere fraction of what it should sell for, make this a no brainer purchase for any magician, amateur, hobbyist, or professional. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Great but too fragile

Very thin and well made. Easy to use. Tutorial was also helpful.

This is the review I submitted to Genii Magazine, which appeared in its March 2023 Issue. Magically animating an object is very powerful. Unlike many effects, with cards in particular, a spectator can’t simply dismiss it with “that was just some sleight of hand.” Harry Devano created his practical and effective gimmick for the Rising Cards in 1948. As a Magic Masters demonstrator back in the late 20th century, I sold hundreds of $28 Devano decks, a premium price at the time. Since the overwhelming majority of Magic Masters customers were non-magicians, most of these decks probably languished in the bottom of a drawer somewhere. Don Alan popularized Devano’s version and made it one of his signature tricks, performing it numerous times on television and showing us its strength as a close up trick. Devano’s original gimmick used pins that poked into and lifted the selections as a weight and gravity provided the necessary energy. At some point, manufacturers replaced the pins with various types of “sticky” material, which would eventually lose its stick and require replacement. Both work of course, and the more you perform with a prop, the more you learn its eccentricities. In either case, the Devano Deck is a workhorse and has been embraced by numerous stars of magic like Goshman and Pop Haydn. One of the selling points of the Devano deck was that you could spread and fan the cards during the routine and the gimmick would remain invisible as it consisted of the equivalent of about a dozen cards. Chen Yang’s Mobius Rising Card gimmick cuts the size of the typical Devano gimmick to an amazing 5 or 6 cards! The gimmick is a sticky stuff version, extremely well made and in Bicycle backs, and the thinness allows you to easily and convincingly overhand or hindu shuffle the deck. The thinness is due to the substitution of a heavy steel alloy for the usual lead weight of the Devano gimmick. The video instructions are pretty basic and only ten minutes long, but they explain pretty much everything you need to know about the method. No routine is demonstrated, but fortunately you can watch one or more of Don Alan’s performances on YouTube for his great routine and to see the genuine, amazed reactions he gets. Take note of his casual handling of the deck as you perform the necessary rotations as this is something that often vexes beginners. As with the Chop Cup, we magicians are lucky to have Don Alan’s routine as a foundation for performing the Devano Rising Cards and can be grateful for Don Alan’s close-up magic legacy. Thanks to TCC and Chen Yang for giving us this beautifully made version.

A++

Ottimo gimmick soprattutto per il fatto che si può mescolare il mazzo senza perdere la posizione

I love this trick. It's easy to do and leaves the audience scratching heads. It's the best rising card device I own. Buy it.

Since the weight is very heavy, the operation is stable. The great thing is that the gimmick is thin, so there is no problem even if you are a fan of a deck that includes a gimmick.

A lovely gimmick, perfectly quiet and very easy to use. Highly recommended.

Gimmick is well made and thin enough to be moved in and out of a deck with ease.

Hello. With the Mobius Rising Card, you have definitely improved the pulley mechanism upon which the standard version of the rising card is based. The stack of cards which houses the mechanism is slimmer than the standard version, a big plus. And I'm sure your version will prove much more durable than the original. The weight inside Mobius is heavier too. However it's a bit too heavy, I think. I like to perform rising card with the deck placed inside a glass tumbler. With Mobius, I must hold the glass completely horizontal while I insert the deck (as your tutorial instructs) then slowly -- ever so slowly -- tilt the glass upward, trying hard not to cause the card to shoot up all at once. Even when I succeed in coaxing the card to rise slowly, the card is still all the way up before the glass is fully vertical. That means I can never take my hands off the glass. Ideally, I would like to have the card rise slowly while the tumbler sits on the tabletop and my hands are nowhere near it. That's a truly magical, action-at-a-distance effect. Have you considered reducing the weight inside Mobius? Maybe reducing the weight by one-third or more would make it easier to control the card. Just a thought. Make no mistake, though: I'm grateful you created Mobius as I love doing the rising card and my old version had worn out and was no longer reliable. Your products are high quality. I LOVE my leather chop cup! Keep up the good work.

The gimmick is very well done and it is an improvement vs. the original Devano's one.
