Permanent {adjective}
lasting or intended to last or remain unchanged indefinitely.


Cody Nottingham has changed the definition of permanent forever. SHAKE rattles the molecules of ink, and re-arranges it, visually.

With nothing more than a shake, the ink on the back of a playing card morphs on your command. Changing into the card they've selected.

SHAKE can be used for:

• Appearances
• Changes
• Reveals

Real magic is permanent.

Great product!

Genius! I figured it would be some crazy, super-hard build just for social media, but it was the exact opposite. I can make these without watching the video, in just a couple of minutes, whenever. Must-buy.

I would not recommend this if you want an examinable card. I don't this effect on anyone especially since some of the parts of this trick stand out unless you are especially good with crafting and making gimmicks and can perfectly cut straight lines

C
Chase
Summary

Considering the price I was amazed as to how insane this trick looks, and how easy it is to make.
The gimmick for me usually takes 2 minutes to make, and when it brakes it takes seconds to fix.
The trick is also so visual and can be used in so many ways, you don?t even need to make it on a playing card.
Definitely worth your money!

The possibilities are endless with this!

Summary

This is awesome. Super visual - worth way more than $6. Very convenient and easy to transport. Especially cool if you do Instagram/Snapchat magic because it's very visual.

Summary

not what i expected, you cant even show the card at all and it has to be done in a low hand position for you not to expose the gimmick. overall said iam not going to use this on anybody

Aidan O'Sullivan
Summary

This is a neat little gimmick that can be carried ANYWHERE you go. So simple to operate and takes little under a few short minutes to make many gimmicks. The gimmick is not examinable, however if you can control your audience they can carefully feel the ink before and after (risky but awesome!) Cody gives some simple ideas but it is really open to your imagination. Anything written small or any small drawings are able to be changed, and can be changed BACK! Such a neat and flexible device but for me the only issue is that it can't be done at certain angles and reduces the number of spectators, in essence. Overall, 4 out of 5 from me!

Daniel Parrish
Summary

When I first decided to buy this I was super pumped but after watching the ten minute video I was a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it took some really creative thinking to come up with this but it's really angle sensitive and will probably only be used for a webcam for me. I love the illusion though!!

Summary

This product is genius! A completely different method than I thought! Here are my list of the cons:

Not examinable.
You have to have the card on a slight angle for the gimmick to be 'invisible.'
No performance ideas were given.

Tristan Dro
Summary

I'll just list the pros and cons.
Pros:
-Very versatile you can change any small word, number or object, that would fit on a card.
-Gimmick can be made with business cards
-Can change and then CHANGE back
-So easy to construct the gimmick, will take you less than 5 minutes make and you don't need anything special you can do this with what you probably have sitting in your home
Cons:
-Gimmick cannot be examined

Summary:
Honestly that is the only con I can think of, and there really isn't a need to have the card examined, but if you so please once you do the change in the misdirection of them reacting, you can easily do a card switch. Love the method, love the trick. 5/5

Summary

This is probably the best trick on Ellusionist for only $5. There is so, so much you can do with the gimmick, which I have to say is the most ingenious card gimmick I've ever seen. Another great trick from Cody Nottingham! Thanks so much Cody! Buy this NOW!

Summary

I love shake. A super easy to make gimmick and all the materials you need you will almost certainly have. This is as good as change at a knockout price. If you have a low budget this is for you.
When I tried this trick I was surprised at how well it works. The cards are not examinable, but that is probably the only downside. You will also have to wreck two cards each time you make one of these, but it is worth it.

Summary

A really fun, easy-to-make gimmick that can be used in so many ways. The possibilities are endless. Cannot go wrong with this one.

T
Tiny Elliott
Summary

For the price this is a great effect! While you don't have an effect that can be examined, it is worthwhile.

The variations are limited only by your imagination. The gimmick is easy to make and with a little thought you can customize it for your friends to make it extra special.

L
Levi Larson
Summary

I would give this five stars but unlike the trailer, I wouldn't really want to let anyone touch the card besides myself. Great concept, I've made about 5 so far - and you are only limited to your imagination. Could have had more information in the download though... would totally buy again though, it's only $5!

M
Matthew Davis
Summary

Really awesome trick and actually i would of never thought it would be like that. Great job Cody and thanks for sharing it! It's only 5$ it's a must buy.
The only down is that there wasn't any tricks to do with it. He only shows how to make it.

Dan Shears
Summary

This is one of those effects which will annoy you at its simplicity. Cody has a knack for creating practical, versatile and easy to make gimmicks and this is one of them. I really like this gimmick and will be making a few up for different effects. However imagination is required as no effects are taught, and you are not given any way in which to hand out/switch out the gimmick so it can be examined. However those who are well acquainted with card magic will not find this too difficult using pre-existing knowledge. Overall a good buy.

Derek Buitron
Summary

The video is 10 minutes, two minutes are the trailer videos, then the rest her uses to explain construction of the gimmick. I like the idea of the gimmick. I like how bold it is. I can see this scaring some people. Cody doesn't teach any effects, he shows how to do the change, but doesn't teach any.
The gimmick should be super easy to make, he also doesn't teach what to do if it breaks. But it shouldn't be hard to fix. I look forward to trying this.

Summary

I bought this on a total whim.... very nice. It takes a few minutes to get set up, but the instruction is very thorough. Once you're up and running, it is a fun and very effective presentation, and the price is nothing compared to the reactions. Nice!

Troy Anderson
Summary

I usually don't like gaffs because I have limited pocket space and can't carry much around. But this is totally worth it, and it fits in your wallet for whenever you might need it. Such a great utility to have on you for a card prediction or whatever you decide to do with it. Just get it. It's more than worth the price
