Prepare for a delightful dose of confusion with three small metal blocks that’ll leave your audience scratching their heads. In mere moments, they’ll be swept into a world of wonder that defies all logic (and probably a bit of physics too).

Alan Wong and Ashton Carter have teamed up to turn this baffling effect into performances that’ll have folks talking. Your participant will pick up all three blocks, only to find that the top one weighs more than the entire lot combined. It’s enough to make even the most ardent sceptic raise an eyebrow (or two)!

Ashton Carter, a seasoned magician from the UK, has spent over eight years perfecting this effect. He’s crafted personalised routines that can slot into just about any performance style. His book, 'Magician's Guide To The Baffling Blocks', is packed with ten full routines and five variations that Ashton has tested on real audiences (and lived to tell the tale). It even includes his entire street show script—perfect for pocketing the cost of this effect in under an hour while busking. You’ll also learn:

  • How Ashton manages to charm drinks and coffee out of unsuspecting patrons.
  • How to convince kids that fairies are real (shocking, I know).
  • Routines that dabble in comedy, mentalism, hypnosis, bizarre magic, and even séances.
  • A bit of history about the effect.
  • An essay on the science that makes this bafflement possible.
  • How to tailor the magic to different audiences and situations.
  • A Q&A session where Ashton shares his thoughts on the blocks.
"The last word on the Baffling Blocks! I've seen Ashton using his handling of the Baffling Blocks and was honestly gobsmacked at the amount of people queuing up to try them for themselves."
