Alright, seasoned card slingers, let’s talk Triumph. If you were to throw a magic convention and ask magicians to name their go-to card effects, you can bet Dai Vernon’s Triumph would be right up there on every single list. Sure, the idea of mixing face-up and face-down cards is as old as dirt, but Vernon's method? Pure gold. First unveiled in 1946 as part of the Stars of Magic manuscripts, this gem shook the magic community to its core, and ever since, magicians have been adding their own flair to this timeless classic.
In this video download, you’ll witness six masters taking the Triumph plot and twisting it into their own unique creations. Kicking things off is the legendary Johnny Thompson, who not only performs Vernon's published method but also spills the beans on his personal, unpublished version. Next up is Jon Armstrong, who throws in a motivational twist that’ll make you rethink your approach. James Swain takes it up a notch by not just fixing the mixed-up cards but also putting them back in numerical order—because why not show off a little? Boris Wild brings the laughs with a hilariously entertaining rendition, while Larry Jennings shares a slick variation that’s perfect for strolling—no table needed. And finally, Bill Malone zooms in with what might just be the fastest and easiest version out there, straight from the mind of Ed Marlo.
Triumph remains a favorite for a reason: audiences are completely blown away when they see those jumbled cards magically right themselves. Seriously, they’re so captivated by that moment that locating their selected card feels almost like an afterthought. In short, it’s a card trick that looks like straight-up sorcery, and in this video, you’ll get to learn from some of the best in the biz.
