Michael Ammar turns a simple card selection into something that stops the room cold. A spectator names any card from a face-up spread — completely free choice — and the moment that card is set aside, every other card in the deck is blank. Completely blank. As if they never existed. And just when the spectator thinks they're holding the last real card in the world — that one goes blank too. Elegant and absolutely impossible to explain. Watch it today.
A wine bottle appears from nowhere. A coin too large to fit the neck is struck against the glass — and impossibly, it's inside. Trapped. Solid through solid, with nowhere to go. Then, just as impossibly, it comes back out — and everything goes straight into the spectator's hands. Michael Ammar has opened with this routine for over 30 years, and one watch tells you exactly why. See it today.
A spectator freely selects a card — it goes straight into the performer's pocket, unseen. The performer makes a prediction and hands it to the spectator, also pocketed without a peek. The deck is handed over, two more cards are selected by a chain of free choices — and they match. Then the pocketed cards come out. They match too. Dorian Rhodell's Super Coincidence hits hard from every angle — watch it today and see why.
A card is freely selected, lost in the deck, and cut as many times as the spectator likes. Then the performer asks a simple but personal question: who sits on your shoulder and influences your life? The spectator thinks of someone — a grandmother, as it turns out — and spells out her name, one card per letter. The last card lands face down on the table. It's the one they picked. Jonathan Levit's What's in a Name? — watch it today and see why it hits different every time.
Danny Archer turns a free choice into a masterclass in misdirection — using the language of NLP as both the premise and the punchline. Three spectators freely select from four envelopes, each convinced they're outsmarting the system. What they get instead is a perfectly constructed comedy routine that builds, twists, and lands a finale that had the room howling. Nobody walks away with what they expected — except Danny. Clever, crowd-pleasing, and endlessly repeatable. Watch it today.
Doug Conn packs a full evening's worth of impossibility into a single coin routine. Four coins travel, vanish, reappear, and defy every expectation — one at a time, long distance, even bank-shot style — before the whole thing flips on its head in a finish nobody sees coming. Pure, high-octane coin magic delivered with the kind of sharp wit only a seasoned street performer can pull off. Watch this one today.
This June Member Mastermind features performances from four members — Gregg Chase, Jeiron, Larry Mota, and Todd Goldman — Gregg performs a Bannon spelling/counting card piece adapted for Zoom. Jeiron, in his first-ever Mastermind appearance, presents a multi-phase packet routine spanning several distinct effects. Larry Mota performs a theatrical character piece ("The Conversationalist") that blends card magic with a scripted persona, prompting extended panel discussion on patter, venue, and the relationship between narrative and effect. Todd Goldman closes with a three-phase mentalism demonstration structured around telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition.
A signed card torn to pieces—and restored to perfection—right in front of their eyes. Torn & Amazed is Michael's seemingly impromptu miracle that ends with the spectator walking away holding a one-of-a-kind souvenir they'll never forget. Versatile enough to stand alone or stack seamlessly with any torn-and-restored routine in your repertoire, this is the kind of closer that turns a good set into an unforgettable one. Watch it today.

Two small packets. A few honest choices. And a result that feels impossible long before it lands. In Steinmeyer’s Deepest Sympathy, the structure does the magic—your spectator freely mixes, turns, and decides… and still, every card finds its perfect match.

It’s structured, deceptive, and lands with a moment that feels truly out of reach. Watch it now and add a closer that leaves no room for explanation.
