John Rivav - Burning Angel
PDF
You show a pack of cards, shuffle it and ask two spectators to select each one a card. One of the cards is signed, lost in the pack and you put the pack inside the card box. You give the card case to the spectator to hold. The second card is in the spectators hand all the time. The magician explains that both cards are twin souls and everything that happens to one card will happen to the other. The magician asks for the card that the spectator holds and shows a lighter. The magician proceeds to burn the back of the card, specifically one of the angels on the bike. If everything works as planned inside the card case that is held by a spectator should be a burned card. When the cards are removed from the case he finds a card with a burned angel, when it's turned over it is the same card he freely selected. The magician did not have contact with the card.
