TRICKS
TWO
CARD TRANSPOSITION
One of my opening effects. Simple and iconic. This effect was popularized in our modern day by David Blaine who performed many versions on his magic TV specials. I always loved the effect and have many versions as well that I perform. Here is one of them.
SYMPATHY
THE QUESTION OF THE AGES
A quest to answer an age old question.
Johann Nepomuk Hofzinser created this effect and performed it in his legendary shows in Vienna. This is my recreation of his masterpiece in my own style.
LESS
...Or Less...
This is my version of the classic Ambitious Card Routine plot. It's an effect I worked on for years to get the right feeling. The concept was for me just to repeat Less... Or Less... The idea is for the audience to go through a range of emotions, understand the plot, and lead themselves to an impossible condition.
THE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
A Triumph Over The World
This is my version of Triumph, Dai Vernon's classic piece of card magic that I discovered in the Stars of Magic series. The story is a true story of how I started learning magic and sleight of hand alone in the dark in my room.
CARD TO POCKET
Carlyle Reimagined
Francis Carlyle perfected this gem of card magic. The idea is very simple. A single card vanished from the deck and is magically found inside a pocket. This is classic sleight of hand, psychology, misdirection & showmanship.
TOGETHER & APART
Oil & Water
A tribute to René Lavand and my presentation of his signature piece No Se Pueder Hacer Más Lento. I have been performing this classic piece of card magic since I got into magic as a teenager.
