From the wonderfully twisted brain of Chris Congreave: Curiously Enough
Liar - because who doesn’t want to play the role of a professional lie detector? Finish strong and leave them baffled. Every day carry cards - a neat little routine to tuck in your wallet for impromptu performances (you know, just in case you’re feeling flashy). Stop - an effortlessly deceptive card at any number routine, complete with a cheeky twist at the end. 50/50 - a brilliant, easy-peasy opening routine. Coin prediction 2.0 - a self-contained mentalism routine that’ll have them scratching their heads with coins. Coin prediction 2.5 - same routine, different ending (because why not?). Visible prediction - predict anything on the back of a playing card! Yes, anything! Kickback card to wallet - a fab enhancement to your card-to-wallet routine (you’ll thank us later). Holey prediction - a commercial way to hand out your business card without looking like a total numpty. Futurama - a card prediction routine that’s both simple and a total reputation booster. Pocket matrix - a fresh spin on Jim Steinmeyer’s Matrix Poker (because who doesn’t like a good remix?). Any named card again - Gary Jones has worked his magic on any named card from Curiouser and this is his take on it. Predicta pack - a gaffed pack you can whip up yourself in no time.
Effects and ideas using predicta pack - Peek, Harry in your pocket, card through table, card under box (that’ll impress the mates).
You must be f***g joking - a cracking method to reveal a selected card using the Jokers (seriously, it’s brilliant).
Invisible deck prediction - not what you might assume (trust us on this one).
An essay on performing at tables (get ready to be the life of the party).
Diary trick - a diary trick with a regular pack and a regular diary, no memory gymnastics required, easy-peasy. Double card to wallet - with a gaff you already own, have two selected cards magically appear in your wallet (yes, really). The Flash - a superb way to kick off your ambitious card routine. Sticky business - a delightful Stickman routine that also manages to get your business card out (multi-tasking at its finest). Time for a change - a mentalism routine with coins and those cheeky kickbacks... because why not?
Thanks to Dave propless - a fresh take on Thanks to Dave from Curiouser and Curiouser (because we all need a new angle sometimes).
What a joke - a prediction routine involving Jokers (and yes, it’s as fun as it sounds). Cutting the Aces (again) - a light-hearted Ace cutting routine that’ll have them chuckling. Grease and Beer - an in-the-hands quick and visual routine (perfect for pub magic, if you ask me).
