A single strange card, pulled straight from the pocket... split down the middle... and torn apart to reveal your four Jacks. Lee Asher's Ripper is pure pocket magic-fast, visual, and over before anyone can blink. No table needed, no setup in sight-just a rip and a reveal that lands like a gut punch. Direct, devastating, and built for instant applause. Watch it today.
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!Â
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.

In this Practice Engine session, Alex digs into the coin work, revisiting the assembly in a freshly revised sequence before tackling the full backfire with cards, then stripping it down and performing the same effect completely bare-handed, complete with staging and cleanup insight along the way. Then Adam wraps up the rope series, running back through the cut-and-restored and Professor's Nightmare material with alternate handlings and pro tips on routine length.
This Practice Engine session Mike works through the opening phases of a Slydini rope routine, covering cut and restored handling, the transition into the Professor’s Nightmare. Then Alex focuses on the backfire sequence of a coin assembly, treating it as choreography and timing, then extends the material into a cardless assembly.
This Practice Engine session is led by Mike Stevens and Alexander Slemmer. Mike opens by answering a submitted question on the Professor’s Nightmare setup and leads two full practice-along run-throughs. Alex then covers matrix work with dice and coins, including handling alternatives for smaller objects, choosing props, and a detailed breakdown of the backfire follow-up. Member questions on angles, palm position, and grip are addressed throughout.
This Practice Engine session is devoted entirely to rope magic, with Adam Grace leading the hour. Mike opens with a Professor’s Nightmare warm-up drill covering the setup, counts and displays, then walks through his own performing routine. Grace follows with an extended segment on cut-and-restored rope: the transition out of the Professor’s Nightmare, several approaches to restoration, and the construction of a complete multi-phase routine, illustrated with video of Richard Sanders and Dan Harlan.
Four cards — Ace through Four of Spades — and a premise that sounds like a bar bet: every card has its own weight. The lightest one turns face up on a snap, then flips back down as the next one takes its place, one at a time, in order. The four is the heavy one, and a snap won't budge it — that takes a breath. And when it finally turns over, it doesn't come back the way it left. Gary Nealon teaches Brother John Hamman's First Twist — watch it today and see how much work that premise is doing.
In this Practice Engine live session, Alex spends the first half on the Matrix with coins and cards, then moves to the more demanding backfire ending. The second half introduces the Malini sugar cube trick performed with dice, covering handling, prop selection, and pacing. Grab your coins, cards, and dice — these classics get overlooked, but they're well worth the practice time.
