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.

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.

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.
A spectator calls stop wherever they like, signs their card, and watches it get sealed inside a clear luggage tag—then sandwiched between two jokers for extra security. But baggage doesn't always stay where you put it. The card disappears from between the jokers and turns up buried in the deck, then keeps flipping over every time a little turbulence hits. For the finish, the spectator holds everything themselves—and the signed card makes one last flight, arriving safe inside the sealed tag in their own hands. John Guastaferro's Lost & Found—watch it today and take the trip.
A hand-drawn phone on what looks like an ordinary post-it pad gets introduced as cutting-edge technology — the iPhone 20. A packet of sample PIN codes is riffled through, and the spectator calls stop wherever they like, memorizing whichever four digits land next. The performer never looks. Then the "phone" comes out of its case, the spectator imagines typing their PIN in, and one by one the numbers on the screen vanish until only their four remain. Daniel Chard's iPhone 20 — watch it and see for yourself.

Drew is back this week with the second powerhouse part of his CC Living Room Lecture, packed with unique lessons and exclusive effects he’s never shared anywhere else! Tonight’s effects illustrate how Drew encourages us to engage his audience members physically, intellectually, and emotionally.Â
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.
Part two of Dani’s CC Living Room lecture was a true barn burner, packed with many powerful effects and taught with incredible clarity. Danny’s unique style and approach were among the greatest lessons of the evening, demonstrating how to elevate routines—many of which are self-working—to feel like absolute magic.
We are joined by Dani DaOrtiz for the first half of another world class CC living room lecture. This is an event that will be the subject of discussion for a very long time.

This July 2026 Mastermind includes a classical rising card routine with a hummingbird premise (Joe McNamara), a coin color-change framed as a scientific experiment (Jeiron Wong), a comedic silk vanish performed with a miniature toilet prop (Steve Feldman), an original multi-effect invisible-character piece built around a handmade cabinet (Henry Travis), and an observation-based card effect using a roughed packet (Larry Mota).
In this Practice Engine session Aaron focuses on dealing position and grip mechanics as applied to the Elmsley count, Jordan count, and a two as four exercise before running the group through a complete walkthrough of Twisting the Aces. Then Adam leads an extended drilling session on the count in Professor's Nightmare, a discussion of rope selection, the Around the World move.
In this session, Aaron continues the group's Twisting the Aces study — reviewing Ron Dill's rehearsal, refining how to get a break with no cover, and breaking down the Elmsley count, the Jordan count, and the two-as-four count, with detours into discrepancy theory, tempo, and daily practice. Then, Adam reviews the Professor's Nightmare and teaches the long-awaited method for getting into it from a single long piece of rope, plus an on-the-fly recovery when the move goes sideways.
In this session, Aaron walks the group deeper into Twisting the Aces — slowing everything down until the moves disappear and the aces seem to turn, change, and vanish on their own — and fields great questions on working the Jordan count and a two-card turnover into your handling. After the break, Adam polishes Professor’s Nightmare from top to bottom, tightening the count, the windmill, and the reset, with a live discovery from the panel that makes the ending cleaner than ever. Equal parts hands-on practice and the small refinements that make a routine click. Watch the replay and put both up on their feet — then come back next week.

Three ropes. One impossible count. This Practice Engine session goes deep on Professor's Nightmare — breaking down the deceptive count at the heart of the miracle until it feels completely natural. Along the way you'll pick up a 25-year sleight that instantly cleans up your handling, a pro tip for picture-perfect rope ends, member variations, the "Around the World" flourish, and a sneak peek at cutting a full set from a single rope in two moves. Grab your ropes.
The rope from Amazon mentioned in this session can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DBV59TPM?th=1
Two foundational routines, one focused session. Aaron dives into Vernon’s Twisting the Aces, sharpening your Elmsley Count, block push-offs, and the signature twist that builds to a clean, in-their-hands face-up finish. Then Adam kicks off the ropes chapter with Professor’s Nightmare, walking you through preparing a properly sized three-rope set, along with the grip and end switch, using a practical drill loop you can actually rehearse. Two real-world workers, broken down so you can start building them with confidence.
