Let’s get one thing straight: packet tricks aren’t some flashy new trend cooked up in the last few decades. Sure, they blew up in popularity during the 60s and 70s (thanks, Jon Racherbaumer, for coining “packeteer”), but the roots of these mini marvels dig back to the late 1800s. And while some magicians might scoff at the term "packet trick," let's face it—when executed with finesse, these little gems can pack a punch that’s often more mind-boggling than your typical full-deck routine. So, don’t sleep on the packet! With just a handful of cards and the insights from the pros in this download, you’ll be strutting around like a true “packeteer” in no time!
In Volume 1, you’ll dive into a treasure trove of small-packet card magic that any seasoned close-up performer would be eager to incorporate. Larry Jennings kicks things off with a three-card masterpiece that crafts a stunning visual illusion of one card melting through the other two. Next up, Martin Nash takes the stage with a four-card routine where two Queens and two Jacks transform into four Queens and then four Jacks—until they magically morph into four Aces! Then, prepare for Michael Close, who showcases four blue-backed Jokers that turn red one by one, only to revert back to their original blue. And let’s not forget Michael Ammar, who dazzles with a clever swindle involving three blank-faced cards and an Ace—at least, that’s what it looks like.
But wait, there’s more! The legendary Alex Elmsley steps in with a trick (and a sleight) that arguably set the modern packet trick stage on fire, while Bill Malone has some fun twisting Aces and transforming them into something entirely unexpected. John Guastaferro brings together two fantastic effects that blend the best elements of Hofzinser’s Four-Ace Problem and Paul Harris’ Reset, and Darwin Ortiz wraps up this volume with his spin on Peter Kane’s classic Ace transposition trick.
