Coin prediction - Ask a spectator how much they’ve got in that pile of change, they say £2.57, but when you reveal it, there’s only £1.64 (or whatever you fancy). Then, you predict what coin they'll finish with, whether it’s heads or tails, and for the grand finale, you unveil that your prediction was indeed £2.57 too. (No PW, because who’s got time for that?)

Dead cut prediction - A freely thought-of card is scribbled on the back of the Jokers. Simple, yet effective.

Anniversary in my pocket - My take on the classic Anniversary waltz (no dancing required).

Upper hand - A nifty 4 for 4 transposition card effect that’ll have them scratching their heads.

Cut, stop, think - A card routine that nails exactly what card spectators will stop at, cut to, and think of. It’s like mind-reading, minus the awkwardness.

Stop and think - A shorter version of the above, different method and a real worker (because who doesn’t love a good worker?).

Drawn - Previously under the radar in a limited run booklet, this super commercial card routine leaves your spectators with a smashing souvenir.

Re-drawn - A fresh take on the above, just to keep things spicy.

Coin to anywhere - Just as it says on the tin, it’s a coin that knows no bounds.

Mental coins - A clever idea by Gary Jones, featuring a freely predicted number on a coin (because why not?).

Card at almost any number - A total magician fooler! Plus, I've thrown in a kicker ending that’s previously unpublished and makes it much more commercial (because who doesn’t love a good kicker?).

Locked, marked and reloaded - An evolution of a routine from my first book called "marked cards". This one’s much more commercial and ready to roll.

A freely named card - You whip out 2 Jokers from your pocket, and it’s written on the backs. Straightforward, right?

Stickman Stan - A truly commercial routine that leaves the spectator with a brilliant souvenir—perfect for kids and adults alike (because fun is for everyone!).

Turbo card - Where turbo stick meets a card trick—a visual, fast-paced wonder.

Hopping lemon - A walk-around coin routine that has a "chop cup" vibe; they’ll never see the ending coming!

Destination amazed - A prediction effect using business cards to anticipate a freely thought-of holiday destination (no beach resorts included).

Thanks to Dave - Using 4 pieces of a ripped-up card, it transforms into a selected card one piece at a time (because we all love a bit of magic with our paper).

Comedy card to wallet (prop included, because I’m generous like that).

52 on 1 kickback thingy - A 52 on 1 card changes into a thought-of card, because why not keep them guessing?

Lucky card - Card in lanyard (previously on my ATT lecture, now with different handlings and the original, all to ditch the gimmicks).

Gambit - A lovely coin prediction effect using a gaff you probably already own (good for the wallet).

GMT - A quick impromptu card trick from Gary Jones, for those moments when you need a magic fix.

Whoops - When the spectator accidentally signs the back of the card, you now have a routine to jump straight into (no awkward silences here!).

Dr Daleys Mystery - From a shuffled pack, Dr. Daleys last trick meets "mystery card" for a delightful twist.

PLUS 2 essays on performing close-up magic at events, tackling Alpha males, pocket management, table approaches, and much more (because we all need a bit of advice!).
