Michael Ammar’s Card on Ceiling

Effect:

One of the most impressive and talked about effects in the entire realm of card magic. A spectator selects and signs any card. The card is returned and the deck is shuffled. Next, a rubber band is secured around the corners of the deck and it is hurled toward the ceiling. All of the cards fall to the floor, except one...the spectator's signed card. And there the card will remain - high above the heads of all who pass for months, and sometime years.

Secret :

You shuffle the deck a few times, and then ask the spectator to name a card that you wouldnt even think of, say its the six of clubs.. pull it out of the deck and hand it to them, to sign their name on the face, while they do that secretly flip the top card of the deck over, so nobody can see it.

Tilt the deck toward yourself and place the card (six of clubs) on the already face up card.. then flip both face up cards down together as one card (double lift)..put the card that is really on top now in the middle of the deck saying that your loosing their card.. which is still on top of the deck.. now for the sneaky part, have a ball of " card on the ceiling" wax ready, next to a rubber band behind your table, reach down to get your rubber band (and ball of wax) conceal the wax in the hand with the rubber band. now this is tricky put the ball of wax on top while you flip the deck face up.

Wrap the rubber band around the deck accordingly; corner to corner wrap first corner goes over the selected card then the other corner you must buckle the cards so you can place the rubber band on the corner DIAGONAL from the one you just did but the band goes under the top card. the situation you should have now is this, the six of clubs is on top with a ball of wax on it secretly, one corner of the card is held down the diagonal corner has the band underneath so it is not held down. now in one continuous motion flip the deck face down, and spiral the whole deck to the ceiling, the slected card is not on there very well so it should just stick to the ceiling.

NOTE:

Some ceilings are to flaky to do this on or even to moist of a room is not good to do it in. because the wax will pull pieces of the ceiling off or slip off cause its too wet
