I guess this means you can now get Rick Rolled by your toaster first thing in the morning.

Cool! Your freely chosen, signed card, appears on a piece of toast. That's a new one.

I thought Penn And Teller did some like that with toast??
I believe Rudy Coby did a trick with a toaster??
But maybe not the same as this.

It isn't new. Paul Daniels did it years ago on UK TV and I have a feeling there was a marketed magic item for doing this at home...

I knew someone did it.
You can do Spirit toast.You can contact Robert-Houdin. Then it would be French Toast.
Thank you.

[Richard Kaufman]

I guess my idea is ... toast! hahahahaha

[Doc Dixon]

This is a great trick ... worth a lot of ... dough.

[Doc Dixon]

This is a great trick ... worth a lot of ... dough.

In fact, it's the best thing since ... sliced bread.

Though it appears easy, this trick requires work ... no loafing.

Doc:

Thanks for your wry comments.

To return to the topic, I remember Joe Given doing a trick with toast (I don't remember if it was a card revelation) 20 years ago.

[Michael Close]

John Moehring just emailed me with the info that Sid Fleischman published a toast trick (called A Toast to Magic) in his 1942 book Call to the Witness. The name of a selected playing card (value and suit)appeared on a piece of toast.

[Richard Kaufman]

Let's toast John Moehring's good memory.

[Kent Blackmore]

Crumbs. Looks like I started something. I've been burning to respond but it wasn't breakfast time over here in Australia. You should be able to do more than burn a boring card into your toast; you could have something that says "You thought of Paris, a Lamborgini, and your favourite spread is Grapefruit Delite".

Could be the best thing since ....

If you ask me, it's just another sandwich effect...

[David Prouty]

No more posts on toast since 9/15/08? I guess this thread has gotten moldy...

[A1exM]

Dear Oh me, you Americans are a riot!




Everyone knows it was Al Baker who created this effect!

I can't believe I logged in for that!

[Richard Kaufman]

A1exM--you'll make lots of friends with cracks like that.

[A1exM]

Thanks, I have none in this country so I thought I'd try over the pond,.

[Richard Kaufman]

[censored], it must be Sadowitz again. :) Or Hopkins.

[A1exM]

Oi! I'll take that as a personal compliment!

[Dick Christian]

A1exM,

No, it wasn't Baker, it was Klosterman.

[Mike Remington]

Didn't Goshman have a version of this?
