Check out the descriptions below to see what 17 tricks are packed into this INSTANT VIDEO DOWNLOAD.
TOUCH - You’re blindfolded. Cards get shuffled, cut, and handed back. You start dealing, feeling the faces of each card. You deal one off to the side, then another, until you have five cards placed aside. With NO switches, you reveal a Royal Flush in Spades.
NO deck switch
NO false deals
NO peeks
NO torn or shaved corners
NO memorization work
Count Kerckhorp - Picture this: a deck of cards is shuffled (and we’re not talking about a perfect shuffle). You take half the cards, spread them face up, and in less than 5 SECONDS, you can recall how many cards are clubs, spades, diamonds, and hearts.
THE BEST THING IS, there’s no super memorization trickery—it's 99.9% SELF WORKING! You’ll pull off Rain Man-level feats without needing to be a Savant. Once you grasp the secret, expect to adapt it for all kinds of memory routines.
Bookworm - You’ve got a book on the table and a stack of cards, each with five random numbers. Your spectator SHUFFLES the cards and selects one. You never see their card. They think of one of the five numbers, open the book to that page, and remember the first word. You then INSTANTLY reveal the number and the word!
There are NO peeks, NO fishing, NO electronics, NO stooges. Everything can be examined. This is BOOKWORM.
"Matt has created a TRULY UNIQUE version of the classic Book Test, combining old and new principles that are well within reach of a beginner or will stand up to the most advanced student of the art."
- Justin Miller
"Matt Pilcher loves to leave you in wonder. This effect is built upon layer upon layer of amazement. Fair and clean."
- David Rangel
Satori - A killer method for locating a spectator's card, complete with an engaging presentational hook! Their jaw will drop!
Using a borrowed deck with ZERO set-up, you hand the cards to the spectator for shuffling. They pick a card—truly a FREE choice! After they return it to the deck, you spread the cards face up and ask them to hold your wrist while they concentrate... A moment later, you reveal their card! Expect to perform this AGAIN and AGAIN!
"Uh... Wow. I have no idea how you did that!"
- Brian Brushwood
- 100% IMPROMPTU
- ZERO set-up
- NO gimmicks
- Use a BORROWED deck
DNAVMO - Spread a face-up deck showing no particular order. Deal some cards face up, some face down. With a snap of your fingers, spread the deck again to reveal all cards now facing the same way, and magically arranged in suit and value order from Ace to King.
This one will leave your magician friends scratching their heads, thanks to its NEW method!
Matt's Matchbox Mystery - The Classic Matchbox Monte has evolved! Originally a hustler's scam, it’s now a performance piece for magicians. Enter Matt's Matchbox Mystery, designed to fool even the savviest minds.
You shake a matchbox, letting spectators hear the rattling matches inside. You open it to reveal it’s empty. Those in the know will suspect a hidden matchbox, but when you roll up your sleeves, they see an empty matchbox attached to your wrist too!
Expect a slew of baffled spectators wanting to check your pockets—go ahead, they’ll find nothing.
This is Matt's Matchbox Mystery!
XXV - XXV is Matt’s take on the classic 25 card trick. It’s the one your spectators know but won’t have a clue how you pulled it off. A great beginner's trick that proves how a straightforward effect can pack a punch.
Milagro! - Perfect for those starting in card magic. Two Ace of Hearts are shown, then one morphs into the Ace of Diamonds. Just two cards, no gimmicks. Milagro! exemplifies the magic of combining sleight of hand with solid presentation.
U-Knight - An incredibly visual torn and restored effect, with a beautifully simple method. The psychological subtleties in this effect are pure genius.
The Devil Eight My Card - Using a borrowed deck with ZERO set-up, your spectator selects ANY eight cards and thinks of one. They shuffle and mix, putting the cards wherever they want. The magician doesn’t touch the cards again once they’re on the table. When the spectator reveals their thought-of card, it has vanished! What gives? The Devil took it!
A few points to remember:
- This can be done 100% impromptu with a borrowed, shuffled deck.
- All you need is eight cards (of the spectator's choice).
- You really DON'T know what card they're thinking of.
- There is ZERO set-up!
GONE - You display a coin, philosophizing how life is like it—spend it as you wish, but once it's gone, it’s gone. And just like that, the coin vanishes!
Show both hands—yep, it’s GONE!
"GONE is a heist that happens at the fingertips, leaving everyone wondering how you got away with it."
- Blake Brenneman II (Magician and Gambling Historian)
Oipics - A slick routine for those who want to flaunt their card-handling skills.
The story and presentation behind Oipics will intrigue your spectators. It’s unlike anything they’ve seen before. Using a standard deck with no gaffs or gimmicks, it’s all about pure sleight of hand.
Lumbrio - A coin production so stunning, it feels like PURE MAGIC!
The table is CLEARLY shown to have NOTHING on it. You then show BOTH hands EMPTY, and yet, you produce a coin from thin air.
NO black art, NO awkward classic palm, NO magnets or gimmicks. It’s as fair and visual as coin productions come.
1.8g - The weight of a single playing card is roughly 1.8 grams, with slight variations due to ink. With 1.8g, you’ll demonstrate an extraordinary ability to locate a chosen card just by its weight. It’s like distinguishing between one grain of sand and two.
What do you need for this trick?
ALL YOU NEED:
A pack of playing cards... Yep, that’s it! They don’t even have to be yours or a full deck. No complicated gimmicks, no marked cards, no set-up.
Also, this trick is for ALL skill levels, so it doesn’t matter if you're new or an old-timer—1.8g is totally doable.
Place the Ace - The first routine: Either you or a spectator can shuffle. You cut the cards, and lo and behold, you’ve cut to an ACE! Maybe luck? But when you repeat this three more times, skepticism will vanish, replaced by applause for your skills.
The second routine: You explain that no matter how often a deck is shuffled, an ACE will ALWAYS appear 13 cards from the top. Sounds crazy? Well, you’ll prove it. Hand the deck out to shuffle, take it back, cut, and count down 13 cards. You turn over the last card, and it’s an ACE. You do this three more times, demonstrating that, as bizarre as it seems, an ACE truly appears 13 cards from the top.
- NO peeks
- NO false shuffles
- NO extra Aces
This is Place the Ace
DELPHI - A killer piece of mentalism where the spectator keeps the prediction from the get-go!
A spectator hides an envelope you provide, keeping it in their possession. They then randomly select four number cards. You and the spectator add up the numbers, arriving at a total that determines a card in a deck previously shown to be a jumbled mess. It couldn’t be ANY fairer. Then, the prediction, which has been in the spectator's pocket the entire time, reveals you correctly predicted which card they’d select via this random number. NO card switching, NO prediction switching. The prediction is locked in before you even start.
Extras also include some optional predictions:
- A prediction stating the pocket where the spectator placed the prediction.
- A prediction about the number cards chosen by the spectator.
Very much a hands-off effect and 99% self-working.
Predicting the future JUST.GOT.REAL.
Love Tale - A romantic, mind-boggling mentalism effect!
Your spectator writes their name on a blank card, loses it in the deck, then writes their partner's name on another card, which also gets lost. You invite your spectator to think back to when they first met their partner, imagining the two cards finding each other in the pack. Once they focus, you spread the cards and find the two named cards right next to each other. You then take it a step further: you replace the cards in the pack, shuffle, and ask your spectator for their anniversary date. KEEP IN MIND this is AFTER the cards have been shuffled. They give you the date, and you count down that number of cards. Their next two cards? Yep, the ones they wrote on!
A beautifully personal effect that’s bound to resonate with your audience.
This really is the essential 2017 Matt Pilcher collection.
