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.

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.
