Unlucky by Nikolas Mavresis

UNLUCKY reimagines the classic Just Chance / Bank Night plot with a clever twist your audience will never anticipate. This is real-world magic at its best playful, interactive, and designed to hit hard.

A spectator freely chooses one of five slot-machine symbol cards, hoping for a big win… and, of course, ends up with the worst possible choice. The moment gets laughs, groans, and instant connection as they blame their luck.

Then comes the surprise.

They didn’t just choose poorly they left their luck behind.

The four remaining cards are turned over to reveal the letters L-U-C-K, creating a clean, visual kicker that lands out of nowhere.

• Bridge-size cards that slip easily into any wallet

UNLUCKY is simple, direct, and built for reactions exactly the kind of magic you’ll actually perform.
