Number eight, published in June 2020, is a delightful mix of bafflement and bemusement. It features The Blunt Force, where a spectator appears to predict your phone number (because who doesn’t love a good guess?), and the Excessive Force, a cheeky twist on the classic Nine Card Problem, where the spectator magically arranges a packet of cards as if they’ve just downed a pint of luck.
Then there's The "I Forgot of Something," an astonishing interactive trick that’s just as effective for one person as it is for a crowd of a thousand (because who wouldn’t want to impress a whole mob?). The Instructions What Make it Work and The Poem What Reads Your Mind are two brilliantly crafted mental routines that read the thoughts of your audience using little more than your charming smile (or, in the case of the poem, absolutely nada!). Eleven effects, 34 pages of pure genius.
