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.

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.

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.
In this all cards session, Aaron dives in deep on Fourtopia — his updated handling of the four-card production — in extended detail, using it as a vehicle to drill core close-up fundamentals: obtaining an invisible break, light-touch card control, double-card handling, and the Biddle count.
The Tumblers by Bill Goodwin takes a subtle detail most magicians overlook — the direction of a card's back — and turns it into pure visual magic. Spectators examine a packet of one-way-backed cards, confirming they all sit the same way... until you turn a single card around, and the rest silently rotate to match, again and again, no matter how they're mixed. It's clean, and it's the kind of "wait, how did that just happen" moment that sneaks up on an audience. Watch it today — you'll want this one in your hands by tonight.
In this session, Aaron uses a simplified cannibal-cards routine to drill the Elmsley-count family — the 2-is-4, 3-is-4, and 4-is-5 counts — with attention to grip, rhythm, and matching the Jordan and Elmsley counts. Then Adam continues the cut-and-restore rope work, covering how to transition in from Professor's Nightmare and three core moves for handling the hidden piece. A useful watch for anyone building their count technique or rope skills.
In this session, Aaron shares the definitive review of Twisting the Aces covering grip mechanics, psychological timing, and a range of handling refinements. Adam begins the rope segment with an ambidextrous exercise for the Professor's Nightmare count, then introduces the foundational cut and restored rope move that will anchor the rope curriculum going forward. An essential session for members focused on card packet work or building a rope act from the ground up.
In this session, Aaron shares a new climax for Twisting the Aces — built off the Elmsley work we've been doing — with a close look at packet order, the double-lift-to-count sequence, and how audience recovery time does more work than most people realize. On the rope side, Michael demos and teaches the Impossible Knot, then Aaron and Adam dig into Professor's Nightmare: rope length, prep, cutting, and the count itself. The panel also explores how economy principles from card work translate directly to rope technique.
