"Since it uses a regular deck and no gimmicks, Deadlift piqued my interest and therefore, I paid attention watching the performance. In vain. Fooled me completely. Well done Ali, that was super clean." - Phedon Bilek
"A very elegant trick that will baffle your audience." - Paul Brook
Welcome to Deadlift! No, it’s not your gym routine for those bulging biceps—this is a killer piece of mentalism that delivers a punch without breaking a sweat.
Imagine a hands-off, impossible card divination that can be executed with any standard deck, no gimmicks in sight. You or your spectator can shuffle the cards, and while your back is turned, they cut to a card, memorize it, and bury it back in the deck. You then turn around and, with pinpoint accuracy, pluck their thought-of card from the deck. No pressure, right?
This effect requires a minimal setup that takes mere seconds—perfect for those of us who prefer to keep it simple.
"Deadlift looks super clean. An invisible method that you can apply loads of presentations." - Warren Thackeray
"If the method is 100%, this is a magician dream trick!" - Rocco Silano
