    Category: ,

    I don’t want to be writing this post. The night before Like Cards In Rain was published I had an epiphany, realizing how relevant the recently released Evoke deck would be to the topic. I intended to be lazy about it, to just include a quick addendum at the end, but then I fell asleep…

    What the Rising Peek looks like: You start off by having two cards freely selected from a freely shuffled deck, while the magician has their head turned. They are placed in different parts of the deck, all while the magician is still looking away. The magician shuffles the deck some more before placing it back…

    Since it appears that David Copperfield was buddies with Epstein it looks like he’s getting cancelled. Shame the public seems to be so picky about who gets cancelled from his list of friends.

    Alright, I was too modest about the Ultra-Mental/Invisible Deck tip. I’ll be honest here, this is a great tip. This will change Gemini Twins in your repertoire from a self-worker with great reactions to a nearly self-working powerhouse with even better reactions.

    Here’s a presentation I did on the spot with a center tear, and then how you can apply this angle yourself. When I was in university, I literally never took notes. This is not to say I didn’t pay attention. I sat in classes and treated them as movies, or TED talks if you will.…

  • Attenzione, Pickpocket!

    I’m going to start off by telling you that this is a very situational trick. It’s more of a retelling of something that happened to me, but if you ever find yourself in this position…I was heading home with someone after a concert. A local band, nobody you’d know. He was crashing at my place,…
