This is a fabulous three trick card act that you can perform with any deck anywhere. NO skill needed. This is my go to routine when I need to do something totally 'hands off'...

or when it's so late at night I'm feeling a bit lazy... :)

BRILLIANCE IS IN THE DETAILS... A list of awesome finesses, moves and tricks that are difficult to categorize, therefore are part of this list. And maybe because of that, they are far more valuable.

I'm also including a little something from the first Magic Castle Lecture that you may have mis...

Completely self working and amazing, this is an updated version of an (almost) impromptu effect invented many many years ago by the great Kolar. So old it’s new!

All you need is a piece of paper and you can entertain people for a few minutes with this lovely stunt, you have to see it to believe it.

Want the perfect cut and restored string trick?

Want something where the magic happens in the spectators own hands?

Want something where nothing is added or stolen, so there is literally nothing to catch and everything can be examined?

This classic effect is considered by many to be the...

A few peeps have asked for clarification on the slip cut force, Roy McBrayer asked if I could show footage of the right fingers as they take the top half, here it is!

I've added it to the ESSENTIAL CARD MOVES playlist as well as the MAGIC CASTLE LECTURE DIVIDED EDITION. 

An easy and fast way to control two peeked cards. A lot of result from a little action.

Love this quick impromptu miracle!

A fab impromptu trick that requires zero prep time or special props, you can even dress up the presentation as a piece of genuine telekinesis... if you're feeling cultish

LEIPZIG’S FAMOUS CARD STAB: Nate Leipzig would bring the house down with this effect, in a spotlight, on a stage surrounded by spectators. A brilliant anytime, anywhere, any deck method.

Steve gets into the nitty gritty details of method and presentation to make this work in CLOSE UP or STAGE.

Dick demonstrates his Bill in Orange routine and handling. The ultimate impromptu miracle, borrow a bill, an orange and an envelope and you’re on your way.

Following the classic footage is Steve’s own thoughts and memories of that trick and Dick Turpin, PLUS an extra tidbit that’s a real ge...

The Lecture, Part One.

NOTE: I have divided the lecture into separate videos for ease of study, if you'd prefer to watch the whole thing straight through I have added that option as the last video in the playlist, see I think of everything!

IN EARLY 2013, actor and two time Magic Castle Close-...

I LOVE Color Monte, one of the first packet tricks I ever saw and learned. I can't tell you how many sets I've gone through over the years.

This film deals with just a few finesses to the routine, a simple expansion of the effect and some different methods of doing the THREE WAY MOVE (Anneman...

Real Video of Dick describing it and a little follow up of my own. These videos are fascinating because, even though he is clearly past his prime at this point, we can see the flashes of brilliance that made him such a great street performer. And I’ve never seen this idea before.

Love this impromptu quick little coin trick!

SMOOTH, a way of doing the effect with a thought of card and a brilliant added twist that adds to the drama.

The lovely Limit Four Aces gets the Valentine treatment, first be sure to watch Limit Four Aces, then watch thissss....

Here I'll tell you why I love this guy, and start with a little known four ace trick of his, that's pretty sweet.

Attributed to Frank Garcia, an easy way to do the double stab... you'll get a tickle every time you get away with it.

An extra finish to the PASS TO HEAVEN Stunt, called LOVE EDITION - Thanks to T.Gaffney for suggesting.

An incredible almost hands off method that allows you to focus on presentation. This is one of Steve's faves, and he uses it as an encore at the Magic Castle, Hollywood.

so easy...

Here is an idea for SILK TO CANE OR GOLF CLUB where the hands can be seen to be empty and holding nothing but a silk.
