A signed selection. A rubber-banded deck. And a visual that stops people cold.
Rubber Melt by Gary Nealon is a pocket-sized miracle—simple to carry, devastating to see. The chosen card doesn’t just rise or fall… it phases through a sealed deck in full view, in the most impossible way.
Prepare to melt some minds.
A full coin act in under 3 minutes—built for real-world impact.
Kainoa Harbottle’s Tablehopper’s Quattro hits all the high notes: coin through table, coins across, vanishes, and surprise reappearances. It’s modular, powerful, and practical—perfect for close-up, walk-around, or online.
Minimal sleights. Maximum effect. Whether you’re just starting out or a pro looking to streamline, Quattro gives you the tools—and freedom—to make it yours.
The Member Mastermind on May 14, 2025, was a blast! Steven Levenberg kicked things off with a "lucky" balloon game. Joseph McNamara returned after a while with a funny "Levitating Barbie" act. Bill Krupinsky showed off his "Secret Poker Pals" card trick. Larry Mota bent some metal with a fork routine. Todd Goldman did a cool take on Cannibal Kings, and Jeff Rigney wrapped it all up with a spontaneous "One Cup Routine" using just a coffee cup and some post-it notes. It was a fun night of magic and hanging out.
Jason Dean turns a simple "pick a hand" game into a mind-bending two-phase miracle. A chosen card vanishes from the deck in one hand… only to instantly reappear in the other. It’s clean, direct, and gets gasps every time.
Experience John Luka’s expert take on Brother John Hamman’s classic mystery card effect—an elegant handling that turns this timeless plot into a practical, fooling miracle.
Got a trick? We’ve got your patter prescription. This evening, we’re diving deep into the one thing magicians never practice enough… what the heck to say while your hands are doing sneaky stuff.
Alexander Slemmer leads a charming, interactive card experiment where shuffled decks and random choices lead to impossible coincidences. As matching cards appear across separate decks, you'll see how clever structure and subtle handling create moments of pure wonder.
Aaron Fisher shares a powerful variation on his modern classic, Search & Destroy. In this special edition, you’ll master the original slow-motion miracle where two kings zero in on a chosen card right in the spectator’s hands—then learn a bonus phase that adds a stunning kicker to an already impossible effect. With no gimmicks, minimal sleight-of-hand, and 100% spectator involvement, this is practical, fooling magic at its finest.
Adam Grace unleashes his Magic 2.0 philosophy—blending classic tricks with modern tools and bold new angles. From a political rope routine to an AI-powered billiard ball act, he shows how tech like ChatGPT, Suno, and Eleven Labs can transform your scripting, staging, and impact. The session ends with a moving, masterful Needle-Through-Balloon that proves: the future of magic is already here.
Lee Asher reveals his visually stunning creation, the Asher Twist. With just a shake, each of the Four Aces impossibly flips—then, one magical gesture sends the entire packet turning in unison. Sleek, surprising, and seriously fooling.
With seamless sleight of hand and smooth transitions, this copper-silver coin effect is a visual stunner. Watch as coins impossibly transform and transpose—culminating in a powerful in-the-hands moment your audience won’t forget.
Join us for an all new experience! CC Presents MAGIC MASTERS CONFIDENTIAL - A TWO NIGHT Expanded Living Room Lecture. Drew Backenstoss Part 2
What separates a good trick from an unforgettable mystery? In Part 1 of this Living Room Lecture, Drew Backenstoss shares the creative lenses and systems he uses to transform standard magic into pure wonder. He puts these practical tools to work by deconstructing two sleek, powerhouse routines—including a devastating dual-spectator mind-reading miracle and a brilliant prediction climax where your audience reads each other's minds. If you want to make your magic feel completely inevitable, this lecture is your blueprint.
Marc Sky and Bob Baker — Ted Karmilovich's closest friends, collaborators, and the authors of his definitive legacy work — join us for an exploration of Ted's extraordinary body of work. Stories from inside the Legendary 13, the origin of The Mother of All Book Tests, and a master class in why Ted's almost ludicrously simple methods became miracles in his hands. A conversation about mentalism, and about what's left when you stop hiding behind clever.
Six members. Six routines. In this special Saturday Member Mastermind, members serve up jaw-dropping mentalism, a Tamariz-flavored four-queens miracle, the most fully-realized transient coins you've ever seen, a devilish card-and-coin double feature, an imagination-fueled Matrix that lands like comedy and lifts like magic, and a clean ring-and-rope finisher. Funny, generous, surgical with the feedback — and packed with the kind of advice that quietly changes how you build every routine after.
A clean, escalating take on the classic elevator plot—Aces through Four repeatedly dive to the bottom… then impossibly rise back to the top, one after another. Just when it feels familiar, the routine shifts gears into a surprising, visual finish that hits harder than expected. Direct, playful, and built for real-world reactions, this is a smart upgrade to a classic you’ll want in your hands. Watch it now.
Aaron breaks the Elmsley Count wide open, from deceptive grips to timing that makes packet counts feel as clean as can be. Then Alex takes you into coin work that hits hard: retention vanishes, the Brick Wall, a killer Spider Grip finish, and a full Coins Across sequence sharpened in real time with live coaching.
Session 54 is all about the hidden mechanics that make everything else look effortless. Aaron strips card handling to the bone, rebuilding the rhythm and control that make the Elmsley Count — and every count that comes after — truly invisible. Meanwhile, Alex runs coins through their paces with a detailed teach on the retention vanish that exposes every beat of timing and purpose. This is Practice Engine at its best: slow the right details down… so your magic can fly.
Alexander Slemmer leads a focused Practice Engine session on Coins Across and the retention vanish. Work through the core sleights—classic palm, shuttle pass, and clean transfers—while building consistency and control. The emphasis is on making each phase look natural and repeatable, with guided drills you can use to build real skill in just minutes a day.
Join Aaron Fisher and Alexander Slemmer for a powerhouse session where the essentials take center stage. Aaron breaks down his refined Elmsley Count—focusing on clarity, rhythm, and natural sound—while Alex sharpens your Classic Palm and Shuttle Pass with practical, elegant drills. This is where technique meets intention, turning foundational sleights into smooth, deceptive magic that looks as good as it feels.
Aaron breaks down Frank Thompson’s legendary overhand false shuffle and dives into the refined rhythm of the Elmsley Count—two sleights that separate polished handling from practiced moves. Then Alex takes you through a dynamic “Winged Silver” coins‑across workout, turning timing, relaxation, and misdirection into living artistry. Join the team and see how mindful, consistent practice transforms drills into real magic.
Larry Mota opens with a modular Color Stick routine packed with visual phases and a killer vanish, Mark LaBar takes a swing at Paul Richards’ Truth and walks away with the Conjurer Community Cup, and Bill Krupinsky fools the room with a deceptively simple card divination. Richie D elevates Paranormal with a casino-themed triple match, Todd Goldman tackles the demanding Tabary rope routine, and Michael Granoff closes with a six-year-in-the-making Ball & Glass that plays like a full theatrical piece. Jump into this Member Mastermind and walk away inspired to level up your own magic.
