Close-up Cardiographic by Martin Lewis
With Close-up Cardiographic, Martin has taken his classic sketchpad Rising Card to the next level. The effect is the same as Cardiographic, but built for close-up performances; a drawing of a selected card rises from a drawing of a deck of cards."I have always wanted to present a close-up version of Cardiographic but have been unable to create my dream pad until recent advances in material technology made it possible.
My criteria was simple, I wanted a pad that would comfortably fit in my pocket. That could be done surrounded under the closest scrutiny. It had to be self-contained and needed a fast reset for strolling, and most important of all, it had to look impossible."

I can proudly say what a brilliant idea by Martin Lewis! Ive been wanting a cardiographic but I dont do stage magic. I just do close up or street magic and im very gladly this has come! Dream come true now! When I opened the box I was kinda hesitant about the gimmick. Seems like the gimmick will be ripped of once i flip it but as soon as I followed the advice of Martin. boom! Very nice! Very durable gimmick! Cant believe it! Thanks!
I was a bit concerned as to the practicality of this effect. However it is almost instantly repeatable and super practical
This close-up version of Cardiographic is a nice trick. My gimmick was well made and the online video instructions, including tuning tips, are clear and easy to follow. My pad would bind a little initially, so I followed the advice on the video and removed a few pages. Very happy that I purchased this.
Really good purchase. I wanted to perform this for a long time. Its very well made. Its easy to repair. Its practical. It looks awesome and the effect never lost its appeal. You really cant go wrong with this. I enjoy performing it. Thank you!
This trick has always been my favorite and was dreaming of a closeup version. This one fits the billl. The video is very informative and the gimmick is very easy to use but the video does not go into making a new one with much detail. Like what to do if it gets damaged or stained.
