This video download dives into a treasure trove of effects that are sure to spice up your repertoire:
THE GAME - Ready to play? Put your skills to the test with this mind-bending Triumph routine that will have your spectators questioning reality.
SPIRITS WITHIN - Do you believe in the paranormal? With a little help from an unknown element, watch as you not only read a spectator's mind but also have their card's initials appear under your skin. Creepy, right?
THE I.C. - An 'Illusion Card' is nestled in an envelope that’s been in plain sight the whole time. A spectator chooses and signs a card, then you unveil the 'Illusion Card', flaunting a different back color. And when you flip it over? Yep, it’s their signed card. But wait, there's a twist that’ll drop jaws!
UNKNOWN IDENTITY - After a card is chosen and replaced, the deck transforms into a crime scene. The back of the selected card changes color, and a criminal mark makes it a permanent keepsake for the spectator. Talk about leaving your mark!
JAY SANKEY'S POWER LUNCH - Cross serves up his version of Sankey's iconic business card effect but with playing cards. Watch as your initials magically transfer from one card to a signed spectator's card—which they've held the entire time.
CHOKE - A two-signed-card routine that involves a hilarious moment where you "choke" to find one card, and then a mind-blowing color change for the other. The kicker ending? Yeah, they won’t see that coming!
PREDICTION I.D. - An Invisible Deck routine that doesn't just find the spectator's card reversed in the deck; it also reveals a prediction in a sealed envelope. Spoiler alert: there's a bonus ending that will knock their socks off.
DUEL ACADEMY - Watch two signed cards appear instantly in this snappy two-part sandwich effect.
EMOTIONAL CONNECTION - Use the chemistry in the room to make two signed cards magically switch places—all while in the spectators' hands.
