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.
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 June Member Mastermind features performances from four members — Gregg Chase, Jeiron, Larry Mota, and Todd Goldman — Gregg performs a Bannon spelling/counting card piece adapted for Zoom. Jeiron, in his first-ever Mastermind appearance, presents a multi-phase packet routine spanning several distinct effects. Larry Mota performs a theatrical character piece ("The Conversationalist") that blends card magic with a scripted persona, prompting extended panel discussion on patter, venue, and the relationship between narrative and effect. Todd Goldman closes with a three-phase mentalism demonstration structured around telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition.
This upcoming event will feature in-depth reviews, discussions and demonstrations of the latest hot effects in magic!
A few coins. Two spectators. And a sequence that feels impossibly clean. Watch as silver and copper are separated, marked, and held tight—then, in a heartbeat, they switch places under impossible conditions… not just on top, but in their closed hands. It’s playful, direct, and hits with that rare, visceral moment where they feel the magic happen. A true worker you’ll want to add to your set—watch it now.
Aaron turns the Elmsley Count into a focused exercise using a member’s practice footage—dialing in pauses, vertical energy, and the discipline of looking unpracticed—before dropping the reminder that no one’s supposed to see the hundreds of hours behind it. From there, a tight four-card routine with engaging patter and a visual “squiggle” sets the tone, leading into coin work where Alex closes with the kind of insight that reshapes how you practice—featuring clean handling under classic palm and the idea that turned shells into a souvenir. A final poll proves it’s all clicking.
The changes you don’t see are usually the ones doing all the work. Here, Aaron slows the Elmsley Count down to where it actually lives—finding the gentle pressure that keeps the packet breathing, a right-hand grip that squares itself, and a simple reverse-engineering drill that lets your hands tell the truth. Then Alex builds a one-coin sequence beat by beat, dialing the timing until it feels like the coin never stops traveling—right through you. These are the details that turn what you can do into something they can’t explain.
Aaron Fisher and Alexander Slemmer go deep on the moves you almost have — and the tiny corrections that change everything. Aaron rebuilds the Elmsley from the joint up, drilling a presentation that turns four cards into a punchline you can perform forever. Alex flips the coins-across game with a single insight — keep that coin parallel, stop fighting gravity — and unpacks why the retention vanish breaks every rule about misdirection on purpose. Plus a Kainoa Harbottle principle that finally makes the move click. If you've been stuck on the basics, this is the session that unsticks you. Watch the recording.
A spectator freely selects a classic film—and with just a few playful questions, you zero in on their thought with uncanny precision… before flipping reality on its head with a visual, laugh-out-loud transformation they never see coming. Daniel Chard’s DVD blends sharp mentalism, bold comedy, and a clever visual kicker into a practical, repeatable routine that hits hard in the real world. Direct, deceptive, and built for instant reset—this is a worker you’ll want in your set. Watch it today.
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.
