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.
