Christian Grace – Captivate

A standout hit at Blackpool 2026, “Captivate” by Christian Grace is the cleanest card-to-hat we’ve ever seen.

A card is selected, signed, and lost back into the pack. You take off your baseball cap and hold it at the fingertips, showing it completely empty. With just a little shake, a full card appears inside. (Before you ask, no, it isn’t Mercury Card Folded.) You remove the card, and impossibly, it’s their signed selection. No palming. No black art. No gimmicked hats. It’s that clean.

“Captivate” is a modern card-to-impossible-location that is easy to do, resets in seconds, and hits audiences hard. The precision-made gimmick is handmade by WangZhe and does almost all of the hard work for you. It works with almost any baseball cap, and looks phenomenal in close-up, parlor, social media, or even on stage.

Not a hat person? No worries. Christian Grace teaches a handling where you borrow a hat and load the gimmick right under their nose. It’s completely invisible.

“Captivate” is available in two versions:

Backer: The card appears face-down in the hat, allowing you to perform “Captivate” with a signed card.

Facer: By having the card appear face-up, they’ll see the moment when their card appears in the hat. It can’t be a signed card, but it still looks incredible.

“Captivate” sold out at Blackpool 2026, and we expect it to sell out again. Order it now before it does!

FAQ:
Do I need a special hat?
Nope! “Captivate” works with most baseball caps, including borrowed ones. You can even do it with those mesh-backed trucker caps.

How difficult is “Captivate”?
Super easy! The action needed to make the card appear is gently shaking the hat from side to side. Christian teaches multiple handlings which vary a bit in skill level, but “Captivate” is within the skill level of most card magicians.
