The Five Card Opener by Bill Abbott

Start your show with a visual card routine that gives the audience a reason to cheer, shout, and join in. The Five Card Opener by Bill Abbott reimagines the classic five- or six-card repeat in three escalating sequences, building to a surprise climax.

Use it to open corporate, family, or college shows, with a routine designed for audiences from 10 to 10,000. Its script can be adapted with a company name, school cheer, slogan, or birthday shoutout, giving you a tailored way to connect with the crowd.

• Opener and closer: The package also reveals Michael Ross’s Five Card Closer for a possible finale.
• Made for performance: The jumbo-card routine plays big and visual, packs flat, and can be performed away from tables and out of your pockets.
• Practical handling: It has no angle restrictions and resets in 30 seconds.
• Pro package props: Includes handmade gimmicked Bicycle jumbo playing cards, a portable pop-up hamper, and a waterproof zip-up bag.
• Learning materials: Includes Bill Abbott’s full performance script as a PDF and an in-depth video tutorial with two live performances and routine instruction.

The script is a starting point you can shape to fit your own presentation. Add this audience-participation routine to your set when you want to establish an energetic, responsive atmosphere from the opening moments.
