Check out the descriptions below to dive into the 17 tricks featured in this INSTANT VIDEO DOWNLOAD.
TOUCH - Picture this: you’re blindfolded. The cards are shuffled, cut, and handed back to you. You start feeling through the cards, dealing one off to the side, then a couple more, until you’ve got five cards set aside. When you reveal them—surprise! They’re the 10, J, Q, K, and Ace—a Royal Flush in Spades.
NO deck switch
NO false deals
NO peeks
NO torn or shaved corners
NO memorisation work
Count Kerckhorp - Imagine this: a deck of cards is genuinely shuffled (no perfect shuffle nonsense). You take half and spread them face up on the table. In less than 5 SECONDS, you can recall the number of clubs, spades, diamonds, and hearts.
THE BEST THING IS, there’s no real super memorisation going on—it’s 99.9% SELF-WORKING! You’ll get to show off a Rain Man-like memory without needing to be a genius. Once you’ve got the secret, you’ll adapt it for all sorts of memory-based routines.
Bookworm - A book sits on the table alongside a hefty pack of cards, each adorned with five random numbers. The spectator SHUFFLES the cards and selects one, which you, the magician, NEVER see. They think of one of the five numbers, open the book to that page, and remember the first word. Abracadabra—you instantly reveal the number and the word!
No peeks, no fishing for info, no electronic devices, 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 brilliant method to find a spectator's card, complete with a captivating presentation! Their jaw will drop!
Using a borrowed deck and ZERO setup, you let the spectator shuffle. They pick a card—a truly FREE choice! Once it’s returned to the deck and lost, you spread the cards face up and invite the spectator to hold your wrist while they concentrate on their card... Moments later, you reveal their selection! You’ll be performing this AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN!
"Uh... Wow. I have no idea how you did that!"
- Brian Brushwood
- 100% IMPROMPTU
- ZERO setup
- NO gimmicks
- Use a BORROWED deck
DNAVMO - A deck of cards is spread face up on the table, clearly out of order. You deal them into a pile, some face up, some down. With a snap of your fingers, you spread the deck again, and voilà! All the cards are now facing the same way and neatly sorted by suit and value from Ace to King.
A perfect show-off moment for your magician mates—they’ll be completely baffled by this NEW method!
Matt's Matchbox Mystery - The classic Matchbox Monte—an iconic piece of magic! Initially a con trick, it’s evolved into a performance piece for magicians, demonstrating just how easily we can be fooled (don’t go scamming people, alright?).
Matt's Matchbox Mystery is the next evolution of this classic, designed to baffle even the wise. You start by shaking a matchbox; spectators hear the matches rattling inside. You open it to reveal... it's empty. Those in the know will shout about a hidden matchbox under your sleeve. You roll up your sleeves and, lo and behold, there’s a matchbox attached... but it’s empty too!
Absolutely no stooges shaking an extra box for you, and the matchboxes aren’t gimmicked. They can be thoroughly examined. Prepare for bewildered spectators who might even ask to check your pockets—good luck with that.
This is Matt's Matchbox Mystery!
XXV - Matt's take on the classic 25-card trick. As he puts it, it’s the trick your spectators know, but they’ll have no clue how you pulled it off. A fantastic beginner’s trick that proves simplicity can pack a punch.
Milagro! - A fantastic entry point for those starting out in card magic. Two Ace of Hearts are shown; one transforms into the Ace of Diamonds. Just two cards involved, and neither is gimmicked. Milagro! showcases the magic that happens when sleight of hand meets presentation.
U-Knight - An incredibly visual torn and restored effect, with an elegantly simple method. The psychological subtlety in this effect is pure genius.
The Devil Eight My Card - With a borrowed deck (and ZERO setup), your spectator picks ANY eight cards. They think of one, then we mix them up, and the spectator gets to decide where they go in that shuffle. The magician never touches the cards again. Once they're out of your hands, the spectator names their card.
And then... poof! Their card has vanished. What gives? The Devil’s taken it!
A few things to remember:
- This can be done 100% impromptu with a borrowed, shuffled deck.
- Just eight cards of the spectator's choosing.
- You genuinely don’t know what they’re thinking of.
- ZERO setup! Find eight cards, and you’re golden.
GONE - You present a coin, explaining how life is like a coin: you can spend it any way you wish, but once it’s gone, it’s gone. And just like that, the coin vanishes!
Show both hands—completely empty. 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 brilliantly crafted routine for those who enjoy showcasing their card-handling prowess at the card table.
The narrative and presentation of Oipics will intrigue your spectators—it’s unlike any trick they’ve ever seen.
It uses a standard deck, with no funny gimmicks to worry about. Just pure sleight of hand.
