“The first time I saw MEMORY, I instantly fell in love with it. It’s not a standard piece of magic. It’s a very special trick for you to create a memory with someone that is very important to you.”—— Henry Harrius
A UNIQUE EFFECT: The magician and the audience member each sign their own postcard (with an hourglass pattern) and then tear it in half. They take one half of each postcard and put them together. Miraculously, the tears of these two completely different postcards align perfectly, forming a heart shape. Finally, the postcard is placed in a Polaroid frame and given to the audience member as a gift.
“Wow! This is incredibly clever! It fooled me completely! I believe it might be a completely new idea.” ——Tom Stone
Concept
The hourglass represents time, and the magician and the audience tearing the card symbolize that they have shared their time with each other.
The complete reassembly of both cards signifies that this moment is a memory created together by both persons.
In the end, it is made into a “Polaroid” keepsake and given to the audience; every time they see it, they will recall this period of time.
The tutorial includes two different approaches for one-on-one performances and performances with couples.
