“Your prediction effect was brilliant! I saw an online show where you did the same thing with pets and I was totally fooled. The concept is solid, powerful, and finally an ENTERTAINING prediction effect. I was seriously blown away by your talent. Between your awesome effects, likable character, engaging presentation skills, and really natural sense of humor, you are a force to be reckoned with.” -Richard Sanders

What will she teach?

Selection- This is the trick that fooled Penn Jilette on “Fool Us”. A completely customizable magic trick that works well for both kids and adults, as well as virtually and in person! An audience member is asked to help you divide a stack of cards/photos into two separate piles (similar to out of this world) the twist comes at the end when they have an entirely free choice of which card/photo to specifically choose. It is revealed that the magician knew exactly what card/photo they would pick ahead of time. I will touch on some handling tips and teach you the basics of how to make the gimmicks.

Callback Invisible Deck- Make a reference/Joke at the beginning of your set. Halfway through the show the magician does a standard invisible deck routine but with a twist. On the bottom of the card they chose is a message that references your joke from earlier. Not only was their card facing the opposite direction, but is the only one to have that message/word on it. Totally customizable!

Chocolate Appearance and Disappearance- Using a handkerchief the audience members help you make a single small object appear. such as a chocolate, a candy, a ring, a quarter, anything that’s smallish sized!
several more of that small object appear. make a single one of the objects disappear in a humorous and engaging way. There are two versions of the routine -one for children and one for adults.

Foreshadowed Mysterious Envelope Prediction- The Magician asks an audience member to think of an object. In a very silly way they attempt to read the spectators mind only to fail. It is revealed later that the magician predicted the thought of item and had a photo printed of the item inside the envelope the entire show. Works as a wonderful climax to a virtual show or an in person event! This one really shocks people.

The Personalized Message Switch- Now you can personalize any show you do in a quick and easy way! The magician reveals they have a piece of paper. Written on each side is “front” and “back”. The magician does a few folds of the paper only to open it up and reveal a magical personalized message has appeared. Takes less than 3 minutes to set up for each show and is perfect for all ages. Two different versions of this will be taught -both a smaller version for virtual/close up and also a larger version for stage/parlor.
