Ah, Triumph. If you're a card magician and you don't have this on your radar, you might want to reconsider your life choices. Dai Vernon's Triumph is practically a rite of passage, and if card magicians were to compile a list of the most mind-boggling effects, you can bet your last ace this one would be right up there. Sure, the idea of face-up and face-down cards magically righting themselves while revealing a selected card isn't exactly a new concept, but Vernon's slick method? That’s what sent shockwaves through the magic community. First making its debut in 1946 as part of the Stars of Magic series, it has since inspired countless variations from magicians trying to put their own spin on this timeless classic.
In this video download, you’ll get a front-row seat to six performers who each bring their unique flair to the Triumph plot. First up, the legend Michael Ammar demonstrates the Professor's original handling straight from the pages of Stars of Magic—and yes, he even chats about the intricacies with Vernon himself! Next, Joe Rindfleisch will take you for a ride with a killer stand-up version, while Steve Dacri shows how the deck rights itself, save for those pesky four Aces. Then there's Doc Eason, who delivers a punchy, humorous take that you'll want to steal immediately. J.J. Sanvert? He just rolls out miracles like it’s a Sunday picnic. And to wrap it all up, Joshua Jay serves up a relatively easy version that employs an obscure shuffling principle to leave your audience slack-jawed.
Why does Triumph continue to captivate audiences? Because it’s pure magic. The spectacle of the mixed-up cards righting themselves is so mesmerizing that finding their selected card becomes a delightful afterthought. In short, it’s a trick that looks like it was conjured up by wizards, and in this gem of a video, you'll learn from some of the finest in the biz how to perform what might just be the greatest card trick ever devised.
