Another Departed Point - a cheeky blend of Elmsley's 'Between Your Palms' and 'Point of Departure.' A signed card pops up under a spectator's hand, and even Mr. Elmsley himself gave this one a thumbs up!
Give Me the Mayo - A three-level sandwich routine that’ll blow your spectators’ minds as the two Kings magically hop across the deck to trap the chosen card in the middle. (Don’t ask how; it’s magic!)
Challenge Reverse - The first trick I ever learned, now polished into a killer routine, where any number of selected cards flip in the deck faster than you can say “abracadabra.”
Who Killed Lilly Longlegs? - Tried every story deck under the sun? This one's got the best bits from all of them! A story deck using all 52 cards, with a card case that steals the show for a clever finish that’ll get the applause rolling in.
The Lemming Ace Exchange - A classic Roy Walton routine that’s been jazzed up into a miracle. Watch as a chosen card switches faces with a jumbo Ace, all while you weave a madly entertaining tale.
Heartless - An ambitious card routine featuring a card that’s as ruthless as it is heartless. The mates are found, and, spoiler alert, the deck ends up with a rather large hole in it.
Three Card Pop - Three cards shuffled in by a spectator, then they cut the deck into three piles. With a flick of your wrist, those signed cards appear face up on top of each pile. Magic? Absolutely!
Anticadge - A cigarette emerges from a flip-top box that’s suddenly factory sealed and totally examinable. (No, it’s not a magic trick gone wrong!)
Flashburn 2! - At the end of a peculiar experiment, a signed card turns up burnt and ready for a keepsake. They’ll never forget this one!
Elmsley Cut Elmsley - A jaw-dropping fourteen-card control where an entire suite and the chosen card are dealt in order from a shuffled deck. It's so good, I save it for closing at the Magic Castle’s close-up room!
