Nightmare by Liang Kuai

Blade Swallowing x Card Revelation

This isn’t just a magic trick-it’s a piece of magical theatre where visuals and emotions rise together. From confident declarations to comedic “mistakes,” from shocking blade swallowing to the final unexpected card revelation, Nightmare pulls the audience through a maze of misdirection and tension-until the ending suddenly makes everything click.

The magician boldly claims he can find the spectator’s chosen card…and promises that if he fails, he’ll eat the entire deck. A promise is a promise-so the magician begins “eating the cards.”

Then comes the impossible: he swallows razor blades and a length of thread, inviting a spectator to take part. In the finale, he slowly pulls the thread back out of his mouth-now strung with the blades he swallowed moments ago. And hanging at the very end… is the spectator’s selected, folded playing card.
