In this downloadable gem, we’ve zeroed in on routines that ditch the gimmicks. Seriously, you can waltz in with a handful of ordinary props or even borrow a few bits and bobs from a mate to pull off some absolute wonders. While the tools are simple, the methods here are all about high-level wizardry. Expect a cocktail of new ideas, some classics, and a cheeky twist or two on the old standards — but all of it feels wonderfully organic!
Here's what you'll find in this top-secret file:
Heisenberg Routine 2 - A cheeky spin on Al's classic Coins Across routine that incorporates the Max Al Ping Chen sequence. This one dives into finger palming and the Al Schneider Snap Back Move to nail the Pop-Up sequence. Sounds fancy, doesn’t it?
False Start - This trick plays with a false count and simple handling to make a card vanish and then reappear in a ribbon spread. A spectator picks a card and pops it into a small packet, only for it to vanish and re-emerge from the main deck. Done with a normal, shuffled deck, this one really drives home the idea that the card has truly disappeared (cue the gasps).
Excalibur - In this copper/silver exchange, you only need two coins: one copper and one silver. The beauty is that you can perform it right in the spectator’s hand without any of that heavy-handed coaching. Just grab your two coins and you're good to go anytime, anywhere.
Spell Switch - Using a perfectly ordinary red and blue deck, you’ll have cards selected from each deck swapping places. And when you repeat it, the method is so sneaky you’ll be left scratching your head (and possibly giggling) at how it works!
Ring and Pencil - This one is a must for any tricks that shun gimmicks. A ring is placed on a pencil, and the spectator holds either end. Suddenly, the ring vanishes from the pencil and reappears on the magician’s finger. Guaranteed to tickle the audience’s fancy.
Pop Thru - This experiment applies the Pop-Up Move to the classic Coins Through the Table. You’ll place three coins into one hand, slap them down onto a table, and one will magically fall through. It’s clean and straightforward, just the way we like it.
Special Export 2 - A spruced-up version of Special Export 1, this routine uses natural coins and the new Max Al Ping Chen move. Expect a practical, quick, and flashy Coins Across that’ll leave even the seasoned pros with their jaws on the floor. Perfect for walk-around gigs!
Quick Card Tricks - Got a deck of cards handy? Here are three delightful flourishes to bring some magic to your casual card handling. Two of these are speedy card changes, and the third? A card just up and vanishes!
Sparrow 2 - This extends the Sparrow 1 Coins Across routine, keeping the handling simple while ditching the gimmick. Watch as three coins hop from one hand to the other, one at a time. Straightforward and effective.
New Off - An updated version of Al's previous routine, where a finger ring is threaded onto a short piece of rope and casually falls off. Rinse and repeat three times, and both hands are shown empty before the ring makes its getaway.
Clipper - Four half dollars are set up on the table in a square, with two dollar bills on top of two of the coins. In three slick moves, three half dollars mysteriously slide under one of the bills. The handling is so clean, spectators will be left scratching their heads — you can even take your time and still leave them baffled!
Bottoms Up - Three sponge balls sneak under a table one by one, only to pop up through the surface like they own the place. No gimmicks, no nonsense — just pure magic. This is one you’ll want to add to your repertoire.
Matrix - The classic Matrix routine, as presented by Al Schneider. Four coins are covered with four cards, and without touching them, all the coins magically find their way to under one card. Simple, elegant, and utterly baffling.
