Principles of Destruction by Ben Seidman

The Principles of Destruction
Ben Seidman’s mind-melting routine that obliterates every audience.

This isn’t just a card trick—it's a fully immersive, multi-phase experience engineered to smash reality and leave your spectators absolutely stunned. Years of refining and perfecting have culminated in one of the most powerful stage/parlor routines ever created, now brought to you by Vanishing Inc.

What happens?
A freely chosen card rises astonishingly from the deck using a clever method you’ll love. It vanishes from their hand—and then reappears beneath them. But the real brainbuster is the finale: your participant tears a corner off their card as a receipt, and you vanish the rest right before their eyes. Another spectator checks their pocket—to find the card inside, perfectly matched to the torn corner they hold. They keep the corner and the card. Pure magic.

Why it’s so devastatingly effective:

• Combines simple, clean techniques—no body loads required

• Masterfully blends multiple dual realities working in harmony

• Incorporates some of magic’s most powerful effects: Rising Card, Vanish, and Transposition

• Creates an unforgettable journey of escalating impossibilities

• Leaves audiences searching for answers long after you’re done

Ben’s secret? Seamless layering of realities and flawless execution that pushes the boundaries of what you thought possible.

What you get:

• A beautifully illustrated hardcover book with precise explanations

• Exclusive bonus video with expert handlings and insights from Ben himself

• A routine perfectly suited for stage or parlor, from intimate groups to thousands

• Minimal props—and a pocket-only option if you skip the Rising Card phase
