A jar of mints. A random guess from everyone in the room. No influence, no leading, no funny business—just averages. And somehow, when the group's guesses get crowdsourced into one number, it lands dead on a prediction that's been sealed inside that jar the entire time. Robert Ramirez turns real math into something that feels impossible even after you understand it. Practical. Baffling. Built for a crowd. Watch it today.
Join us for an exciting Member Mastermind session, where talented community members showcase their latest magic.
A spectator freely selects a card, signs their name on the face, and buries it anywhere in the deck. An envelope handed out earlier turns out to say just one word: balloons — the prediction, sight unseen. Three balloons are chosen at random and shuffled, and the spectator names one to pop. Inside is the signed card, name and all. Michael Ammar's Card to Balloon — watch it today.
The spectator grabs a single suit, orders it Ace to King, and spells a value of their own choosing to the bottom of their pack — all out of sight of the magician, so nothing is telegraphed. Two more silent spells layer on top, each spectator ending up somewhere different and unknown to the performer. Then a single number, called out at random, sends everyone counting down together — and the card that surfaces matches the value each of them started with. Alain Nu's 13 Card Mystery works whether it's one spectator or a room full of them — watch it and see the sync land.
Get ready for an unforgettable journey into the mind of a master! In this exclusive Magic Masters Confidential lecture, Matt Baker unveils his most guarded secrets and brilliant routines. You’ll be captivated by his stunning take on the Brainwave Deck, a hilarious game-show-style routine where your participant miraculously walks away empty-handed, and a powerful card revelation where your participant finds the cards!
Whether you’re a pro or a hobbyist, these practical, high-impact routines are designed to leave your audience absolutely speechless. Don’t miss out!
A spectator stops the riffle, sees a card, and watches it get lost in the middle of the deck — then the game starts. The rules are simple: guess how many cards just got turned over at once. It looks like one. It's fifteen. Round two looks like one too — it's fifty-one, the entire deck reversed except for a single card still face down in the middle, and of course it's theirs. Gary Nealon's Double Lift Game is a running joke that turns into a kicker — watch it today.
A hundred-dollar bill hits the table before anything else happens: if this goes wrong, it's yours. The deck is shuffled by the spectator, then cards are peeled off one at a time until they call stop — and the card they land on is a three. That number becomes the deadline: three seconds to cut to all four Aces out of a deck nobody has touched but them. The spectator runs the clock and says go, and it's over in two. Jason Dean's Time — watch it now, then watch it again slower.
Discover a world of subtle, devious and astonishing miracles from the mind of Matt Baker. Matt uses his experience as a life long math professor and magician to create miracles based on subtle principles and layered construction. The result is magic that you will love to perform and your audiences will thrill to see!
Cards as an art form: the reds and blacks are the colors, and shuffling them face up and face down is mixing the palette. The deck becomes the brush, the close-up pad becomes the canvas, and a few casual strokes leave four aces standing on the mat. A few more, and two complete royal flushes appear beside them — painted into place one stroke at a time. Doug Conn's Flush Brush — watch it now, then watch it again.
A book test with no book — just a single magazine page. The magazine is flipped through, a spectator calls stop, and that one page is torn out and torn again into thirty-odd scraps. One piece is randomly selected, and the spectator is free to choose any word on either side of it — one word out of everything on that page. They never say it, never write it, never narrow it down, and the word gets pulled out of the air anyway. Nathan Kranzo's Tearify — you have to see this one.
