What an interesting classic. You’ve probably seen this when you wee younger, this is just a slightly modified version that can be done impromptu and with a borrowed deck if needed.

This is an extremely simple trick to perform, but looks like you did some incredible sleight of hand. No matter where the leader pile is, the follower packs always end up following. Visual magic at its best.

This is a great trick to perform for 2 spectators. Requires minor prep, but is a pretty amazing looking trick and fools every time.

This might sound crazy, but I’m not a huge fan of “traditional” magic DVD’s and videos. I know, here I am pitching magic videos and downloads, so it must sound like I’ve flipped my lid, but let me explain.

A very cool way to produce the 4 Aces (or any other 4 of a kind you want).

Another great fooler, where you are taking the spectators on a ride they think is going in one direction, but you lead them another direction. Quite a surprise and really can only be topped by something happening within the spectators hands.

This is one of those tricks that you see once and just have to learn. If you’re familiar with the original version of Triumph, you’ll be easily fooled by this one, and it’s a great, almost no sleight version of the original. Done properly, this is an amazing fooler for regular folks and other magicians.

This would need to be seen in person to fully understand the impact. I only learned this a couple of weeks ago, so this isn’t the best presentation of it, but I wanted to see ho well it looked on video when I did it. It’s a marketed effect, so I won’t likely be teaching it. Sorry.

This doesn’t play as well as in real life. Jaws drop when people see this, because there’s this initial reaction of failure, and then this amazing change that is totally unexpected. It looks like real magic when all the cards change so dramatically. Worth learning for the reactions you’ll get from this.

This truly is my favorite trick. It was the first trick I learned, but it was so simple and amazing, it had to be learned. The secret is pretty genius, and you should be doing this shortly after learning it. Angles are somewhat important with this, but nothing too serious.
