Intercessor – Incredible!

The Intercessor by Gaetan Bloom

Street and List Price $45.00

Here is the description of one of the many effects you can do with this gimmick: A volunteer selects any card, no force, from a deck. You tear off a corner of the card for the volunteer to hold. In fact, you can allow the volunteer to pull the corner off the card herself.

You then burn the remaining portion of the card in front of the volunteer. She is convinced the card has been burned and destroyed. She holds the only remaining piece of the card.

Now the volunteer is shown a bag of lemons. The volunteer is asked to freely select any lemon — again, no force. That lemon is cut opened and there is a portion of a card in the very center.

When the card is opened, it is seen that one corner is missing and that corner is the one held by the volunteer. It is an exact match.

Okay, so that’s one of the many effects you can do with the Intercessor. Now, let me tell you the story of how I came to know this great effect.

I was at the Abbott’s Magic Get-Together and watching the Gaetan Bloom lecture. He was blowing my mind with some amazing effects and then he demonstrated the Intercessor. I could not fathom how this could be done. I watched as the spectator tore off the corner of the card that was later burned. I had no idea how this was possible.

Gaetan Bloom explained his secret as part of the lecture and offered the Intercessor as a post-lecture sale item. I rushed to the table after the lecture but he was sold out. I understood he had only a very small number of the effects left. I threw myself into a tremendous rage. I went completely crazy and looked directly into Gaetan Bloom’s eyes and said, with all of the anger I felt, “okey doke.” And I meant it.

I looked for the Intercessor every where. I went into the underworld of magic, walked through the streets and sewers, seeking it. I couldn’t find it. I began to spiral downward. I thought there was no hope. I thought it was all over. I would always be doing the old fashioned method of a corner tear. I would have to force a lemon, I’d have to hand them the corner. They’d know, I thought. They could tell. I would be a failure. My father would reject me. My credit history would turn bad. I’d hear the voices again.

Okay, I’m overly dramatic. I don’t think that my credit history could get much worse.

Then I found the Intercessor at Kevin James magic site. I have found my peace now. I can tell you that the Intercessor is worth five times the price you’d pay for it. It is exactly right and is the kind of thing you know the big-time pros have but would never share.

If you have the Intercessor, you can do the impossible. I haven’t seen an effect with this type of impact since, well, since ever. When I first saw the Cups and Balls, I was convinced that a small, puffy cotton ball could penetrate plastic. When I saw the Intercessor, I became convinced I could do magic — real magic.

Okay, so here’s my recommendation: if you don’t buy the Intercessor, it is because I have failed you. I wanted you to understand that the Intercessor is the…
