Initial Shock is pure, visual card magic that hits hard. A spectator freely selects a card and initials both ends of its face. The card is placed back into the deck, which is then returned to its box, leaving the signed card protruding halfway. The magician writes their own initials on the card box—and in the blink of an eye, the initials visually jump from the box onto the spectator’s signed card! The card is immediately removed and handed out as a souvenir. Even the card box can be examined—because it’s a regular, ungimmicked box. Key Points:
- No switches – it’s really their signed card
- No palming, stealing, or gimmicked box
- Instant reset in 2 seconds
- Repeatable with a different card every time
- Fully examinable card and box
 
Easy to perform, resets instantly, and packs a huge punch—Initial Shock creates a true moment of impossible magic.
