Pineapple Crush by Graham Hey

Here's a fun trick that has everyone laughing and a cool twist at the end provides the magic. It's self-working and perfect for either close-up or stage.

The effect: A prediction in a bag is placed on the table - the top of a pineapple is sticking out of the top. A selection of cards is shown - each has the name of a fruit on its face. A spectator freely selects any card - they select: 'Orange'. Oh no, that's not going to work! But then a great twist means the magician manages to save face. Forget those effects that cost you $40 bucks and you never use - get Pineapple Crush and add some real fun to your act. You can make the necessary props easily. You'll need to buy some fruit. Great entertainment.
