Hand over three small metal blocks and watch as your audience is whisked away into a world of delightful confusion (and maybe a bit of disbelief).
Alan Wong and Ashton Carter have taken a quirky effect and turned it into something that’s not just baffling but downright enchanting.
Your participant will pick up all three blocks, only to discover that the top one somehow weighs more than all three combined. Science? Logic? Who needs them! Prepare for genuine astonishment!
Ashton Carter, a seasoned magician from the UK, has been wowing crowds with this effect for over eight years. He’s crafted tailored routines that’ll slide seamlessly into just about any performance style—think of it as your new best mate in magic. In his dedicated tome, 'Magician's Guide To The Baffling Blocks', you’ll find ten fully fleshed-out routines and five cheeky variations, all road-tested on real audiences. He even shares his entire street show script that could earn you back the cost of the effect faster than you can say “abracadabra!”
What’s more? You’ll also discover:
How Ashton gets free drinks and coffee—no, really!
How to convince kids that fairies are real (don’t blame us if they start believing in unicorns next)
Routines dripping with comedy, mentalism, hypnosis, bizarre magic, and seances (because why not?)
A bit of history about the effect
An essay on the science behind the magic (yes, really)
How to tweak your presentation for different audiences and situations
