Back in the early 1980s Richard Kaufman, Derek Dingle and Ken Krenzel created Holy P.O.D., a visual version of Alex Elmsley's classic Point of Departure, from a card change effect idea by Gerard Majax.
And now Pete Firman and Anthony Owen have brought it bang into the 21st century with...
HOLEY SH*T!
"A stunningly visual piece of modern card magic"
- Jeff McBride
"JESUS!"
- Andy Nyman
"This is one of the best vanishes of a single playing card I have ever seen!"
- Marc Paul
"With this trick even I could get a TV series!"
- John Archer
"I've been doing Holy P.O.D. since I first read it in Richard's Almanac. It's one of the hidden gems of card magic and it's a real shame that everyone is about to know about it again thanks to Holy Sh*t! Not only is this an excellent version of this effect, but it completely fooled me the first time I saw it. And the second. And the third. Don't buy it - I want it for myself...."
- Paul Wilson
"Was I surprised? Yes. Was I fooled? Yes. Do I know how he did it? No. Did I make the mistake of betting Pete five bucks that I could dope out the method before he showed me the trick? Yes. Do I have that five bucks? No. Did Pete just call Rocco over to break my legs? Yes."
- David Acer
"Watch it with your fingers on the rewind button because the first time around you'll think you missed something. It really is a fooler. The selected card just disappears and there's not a steal in sight. Definitely the most baffling version I've seen."
- David Britland
