Watch It In Action
Captivate (Face Down) by Christian Grace
A card is selected, signed, or simply seen. Then the performer picks up a completely empty baseball cap, turns it over, shows every angle, and in an instant, the chosen card appears inside it. No folds. No boxes. No awkward props. Just a clean, visual moment of real magic.
CAPTIVATE is a modern reinvention of the classic card-to-impossible-location plot, built for today's audience and today's phone camera.
Each gimmick is precision-made by hand by designer WangZhe, engineered to be reliable, deceptive, and remarkably easy to handle. If you can gently tilt a cap from side to side, you can perform CAPTIVATE. No need to be a "hat person" either: borrow a cap from a spectator, load on the spot, and you're ready to go again in seconds.
Designed to be performed live and to play everywhere-close-up, stage, parlour, and social media-CAPTIVATE gives magicians a stunning, self-working reveal that resets fast and hits hard.
Available in two versions:
BACKER, for performing with a signed card
FACER, for performing with a non-signed card
FAQ
What's the difference between BACKER and FACER?
BACKER is built for the routine where a spectator signs their card before it appears in the cap. FACER is for performing with a non-signed card.
Do I need a special hat?
No. CAPTIVATE is designed to work with most standard baseball caps, including borrowed ones, so there's no need to carry a dedicated prop hat.
Is it easy to perform?
Yes. The action needed to trigger the effect is as simple as gently tilting the cap from side to side, making it accessible to performers at any level.
