Credit Crunch by Craig Petty

Credit Crunch by Craig Petty – Visual Credit‑Card Magic for Real‑World Workers Your credit card is in their hands. They never let go. And somehow, the numbers vanish… and reappear on your marker! This is Credit Crunch, Craig Petty’s modern evolution of a classic – inspired by the legendary Dicey Dots, originally created by the late, great Daryl. You’ve watched the trailer, you’ve seen the reactions, and now you’re probably wondering… “how does such a simple move get reactions like that?” We get it. We’ve been there too. But the reactions are absolutely shocking for how easy it is to perform. And the best part? It’s designed for everyday carry. The marker writes like any ordinary marker, and the credit card sits right in your wallet until you’re ready to perform a modern miracle. Here’s what happens: You show someone a credit card, explaining that the best pickpockets don’t take your wallet. They take only what’s inside. You demonstrate this by giving them your credit card, and ask the spectator (or spectators) to remember the numbers on the card. You then have the spectator securely sandwich it in their hands, so that nobody could get to it. You then bring out an ordinary marker shown freely on all sides. At any moment you choose, you wave it over the credit card… they instantly watch ALL the credit card numbers print right onto the marker. As a kicker, they open their hands. They then realize that the credit card has been there the entire time, yet somehow the numbers have impossibly vanished. And everything is fully examinable! What you get: A custom-made marker, engineered to steal credit card numbers. Spectators can even feel the raised numbers just like on a credit card! A credit card system designed specifically to perform this effect. Over 2 hours of expert instruction and live performances from Craig Petty. An effect that happens in the spectator’s hands, packs a visual punch, and ends fully examinable! One of the most powerful effects in your repertoire, and the easiest to carry.
