Introducing Washington is Burning
Here's a gem for your smoke device that’s been put through the wringer for a solid 20 years. This isn’t just another trick; it’s a killer routine that leaves your spectators scratching their heads and clutching an impossible souvenir they won't forget anytime soon.
"This trick gets insane reactions. Unlike most magic effects that go from concept to production to market, I've personally watched Ty refine this piece for over a decade. He's performed it everywhere: on the street, in formal shows, and in countless impromptu settings. Every beat, every move, every line has been shaped through thousands of real-world performances.
What you're getting here isn't theory. It's a routine that's been battle-tested and perfected in front of live audiences time and time again. Ty teaches with the kind of clarity and depth that only comes from experience. This is the real deal, a worker's piece that consistently destroys."
- Danny Ray
"I've known Ty for many years, and I must say that Washington is Burning is one of the most commercial and powerful card routines I've seen in a long time. This is definitely going into my act! Thanks Ty. Love your work!"
- Dan Fleshman

- Greg Devereaux
"What a killer concept. Such a brilliant way to reveal a card. What makes me almost as happy, is that the "key move" is so perfectly justified in Ty's presentation, that it felt invisible."
- Bryan Saint
The Effect - A spectator's selected playing card appears burned into a borrowed dollar bill.
Here's the setup: You BORROW two one-dollar bills from the audience. A playing card is chosen. One of the borrowed bills gets folded up and handed to a spectator—either in their hand or under a wine glass (you choose the fancy vibe). The spectator then scribbles down their chosen card on the other bill, writing out the number or letter and the shape of the suit. After lighting a match and having them visualize their card in the flame (you know, the dramatic flair), the match is extinguished. Cue the smoke! You apply it to the bill in the spectator's hand or in the wine glass.
When they finally open the bill, their selected playing card is burned right into it.
- Can be performed in any setting, walk-around, parlor, or stage.
- Perfect routine for any smoke device.
- Creates a memorable, impossible souvenir.
