If you ask any card magician worth their salt to name the most jaw-dropping effects in card magic, Dai Vernon's Triumph will undoubtedly pop up on every list. Sure, the idea of cards mixing face-up and face-down before magically sorting themselves out while revealing a chosen card might not have been groundbreaking back in the day, but Vernon's method? Pure genius. First hitting the shelves in 1946 as part of the Stars of Magic series, it took the magic scene by storm, and ever since, magicians have been putting their own quirky spins on this undeniable classic.
In this gem of a DVD, you’ll meet six performers who’ve each made the Triumph plot their own (because who doesn’t love a bit of creative flair?). First up, Michael Ammar walks you through the Professor's original handling straight from the pages of Stars of Magic, and he even gets to chat with Vernon himself about the finer points (talk about a magic nerd's dream!). Next, Joe Rindfleisch serves up a brilliant stand-up version, while Steve Dacri presents a version where the deck rights itself—except for the four Aces, because why not throw in a twist? Doc Eason follows with a quick, witty rendition, and J.J. Sanvert rolls out miracle after miracle (seriously, it's like a magic buffet). Finally, Joshua Jay dishes out a relatively easy version that uses a sneaky shuffling principle to achieve mind-blowing results.
Triumph is a staple among card magicians because audiences are absolutely gobsmacked by the cards righting themselves. The fact that they also find their selected card becomes almost an afterthought (which is saying something!). In short, it’s a card trick that screams “real magic,” and now you get to watch and learn from some of the world’s finest card magicians as they show you how to perform what might just be the greatest card trick ever conceived.
