When J. J. Sanvert, our FISM-winning wizard, takes the stage, he’s on a mission: pure entertainment! Every trick in his professional repertoire is polished to a shine, squeezing out every last drop of fun and flair. Each of these routines is strong enough to be your grand finale (and believe me, you’ll want to finish with a bang)!
In this volume, J. J. showcases exactly why he snagged the FISM world championship for card magic. These aren’t just card tricks; they’re performance pieces that reveal how truly entertaining good card magic can be. Just watch the astonished faces in the studio audience, then kick back and absorb J. J.’s secrets!
Cannibals - This is J.J.'s signature piece, a showstopper from his FISM act, and widely regarded as the finest Cannibal Cards routine ever created. You’ll be nodding in agreement by the time you see the finale!
Twisting Hofzinser - Hofzinser’s classic Four-Ace Problem collides with Twisting the Aces for a truly mind-bending result. J. J. also shares his handy Retro Count technique.
Ubiquity - The spectator’s chosen card seems to pop up everywhere! Spoiler: it even matches J. J.’s prediction. Plus, you’ll pick up his impressive Twirling Double Lift.
Invisible Flush Palm - Jennings’ Open Travelers get a startling new twist, and it’s a proper showstopper.
Card Fusion - Possibly the final word on this modern classic. Two cards visibly fuse together face to face and then, just as mysteriously, come apart. They’re signed and fused back to back, making for an impossible souvenir.
Table Change - This one left the judges at FISM utterly gobsmacked. A card on the table visibly changes into a peeked selection.
Vista - A spectator thinks of a card and scribbles its name down. The magician runs through the cards, sets one aside, and voilà—it matches the thought-of card. You’ll learn to turn your card case into a magical secret weapon.
Impossible Prediction - The performer writes down a card name, and would you believe it? It matches the card found at the spectator's freely chosen number. A strong, nearly self-working miracle!
Cool Cold - The performer is dealt a Royal Flush from a deck shuffled and dealt by a spectator. You’ll find loads of uses for this powerful technique!
