No one knew that legendary English close up magician, Bob Ostin, used to perform the Diminishing Cards. His routine was never published in any book. More than that, no magician ever saw it performed. Why? Because Bob only performed the trick for kids!
Wait, WHAT?
So many questions:
How? How would you make Diminishing Cards play for kids?
What were the cards that Bob used?
Did Bob have any wrinkles on the trick worth preserving?
Well, thanks to friend of Magic On The Go, Billy Kidd, I have now in my possession the actual cards used by Bob, AND the wonderful little case he made to aid in presentation.
Talking of presentation I've even tracked down how Bob used to present the trick in his kids shows, and it's beautiful.
So come see a bit of history... and learn something new :)
