Wiregram Card Revelation
Make Metal Move with a Lighter
You'll be able to take a straight piece of wire and make it morph into a specific card value right before your spectator's eyes. All you need is a lighter and a spectator to pick a card. It looks like science fiction because the metal seems to have a soul of its own.
How the Lesson Works
Julio shows the full performance first so you can see the timing of the reveal. Then he explains the "memory metal" behind the wire and teaches you the card force needed to make the prediction match the selection. The teaching is direct and gets you ready to perform quickly.
Is it Hard to Do?
This is a great trick for beginners because the wire does the hard part. If you can handle a lighter and do a basic card force, you're ready. It's very low-stress because the "magic" happens automatically once you apply the heat. You don't need any difficult finger flicking to make this work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the wire break after one use?
No, the wire is very durable. It will last a lifetime and you can perform the trick countless times with just one gimmick.
Do I need a special deck of cards?
Any standard poker deck works. You just need to make sure the card you "force" matches the shape your wire turns into.
Is the fire dangerous?
You only need a small flame for a few seconds to trigger the metal. As long as you are careful with your lighter, it's very safe.
How do I reset the wire?
You just pull it straight again once it cools down. It's ready to go for the next person in seconds.
