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.

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.

We spent the evening with Jonathan Neal, talking about what he learned from the masters—especially Charlie Miller—and how those lessons shaped his approach to performing real-world magic. He shared stories, inspirations, and a powerful concept he calls Professional Certainty. It was a conversation packed with insight, experience, and the kind of wisdom you only get from someone who’s done the work.
In this off-the-cuff miracle, Aaron Fisher channels inspiration from Jack Birnman to deliver a stunningly visual revelation. Bold, spontaneous, and impossible to ignore—this moment hits hard and leaves a lasting impression.
Mike Gallo teaches his expert handling of the classic Ball & Vase trick, turning this simple kids' magic prop into a sleight of hand masterpiece. Gallo strips away the self-working nature of the trick and disguises it as an innocent, familiar prop, leading the audience through clever twists and turns before delivering a jaw-dropping kicker ending. This is a perfect example of how Gallo elevates even the most basic magic set trick into something extraordinary.
In this fast-paced routine, Aaron Fisher delivers a powerhouse double sandwich display built to astonish.

Aaron teaches a story-driven card classic (Dan Garrett 4 Card iteration) that is nothing but Elmsley counts stacked on top of False counts — 7 as 4, down through 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2, with a punch of an ending that makes an entire packet evaporate to a single card. It's your daily workout and a genuine showpiece in the same hands. Then Alex rebuilds your opening: a nothing-becomes-something-becomes-nothing coin sequence. Watch it today — and build a week of practice into one glorious run-through.
A wooden stir stick is clearly snapped—seen and heard—then sealed away… where the impossible happens. Spectators can feel and hear it break again and again, yet when everything is opened, the stick is unmistakably whole. No “restore” moment—just a lingering, unsettling question: did it ever break at all? Gregory Wilson’s Coffee Break is quick, visual, and perfectly built for real-world reactions—learn it and start bending reality today.

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.
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.

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.
