CARDS ON STAGE - Pt 1
  • 13 - POTASSY'S CARDS ACROSS

    I’ve was a little sick over the last week of 2018, so the first video of the new year celebrated my new husky sexy voice (or what’s left of it) but it was fun to do, a passion project, a one hour lesson (yes ONE HOUR) on the late Paul Potassy’s routine for Cards Across. Done in the same style as...

  • SICKEST TRANSIT

    Just added a version of Sic Transit that has instantly been added to my show.

    This is cool for many reasons, best of which is that THIS was the method suggested by my wonderful wife, Inna.

    After my wife saw me demo Sic Transit, THIS is what she thought I was doing!

    Which means two th...

  • SIC TRANSIT

    F.V. Schoneck's brilliant little bit of eye candy. A chosen card pops into view inside an un-gimmicked glass... no set up, no gaffs... my kind of magic :).

    Keep a look out for my SICKEST TRANSIT, coming soon, inspired by this routine, visually 3D print a card into a glass... and do it SURROUN...

  • DAVID NIXON'S CARD TO CIGARETTE - A MASTERCLASS

    A tribute to my childhood hero David Nixon.

    This is a one hour and 20 minute Masterclass on David Nixon and his Card in Cigarette routine. Watch with me as we analyze and dissect David’s all time favorite stand up card routine.

    See why I truly believe this is the best damn card in ciga...

  • ACE SMASH

    Take you audience down the garden path and lead them back out again with this fabulous sequence designed to GET your crowd on your side :)

  • FRONT PAGE CARDS

    A terrific card revelation for audiences of all sizes. No preparation, easy to do, and the crowd will think you have tremendous skill… those are always the best tricks right? Listed under CARDS ON STAGE

  • NATE 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 a true worker.

  • 84 C2P GAFFS AND SET UPS - UP MY SLEEVE

    A very cool and quick routine with Jumbo Cards. Ideal for kids if you use Cards with images on them

  • 14 - THE PALM & RECOVERY

    Pulling cards from yours and the spectators pockets is a classic bit of sleight of hand, but Steve has a few new wrinkles on it that could make it your favorite new performance piece. INCLUDING a new handling for the Vanishing Card Box!

  • 11 CLOTH PT2 - HANKYRISE

    Rescued from an obscure publication, this is killer stuff.

    No one does this, but the reactions I'ver received have been fabulous. Well worth making up, this will get you recognition for wayyy more skill... than it actually took.

  • Sonny Day's JUMBO CARDS TO POCKET

    Thanks to R. Paul Wilson who first brought my attention to this fabulous comical stand up routine created by Scottish magician Sonny Day. The ending is wonderful, funny and it's sooo easy to do!

  • JUMBO TO POCKET 2

    No sleight of hand, visual, funny packs flat, quick reset... all the dealer buzz words apply to the concept of sending jumbo cards to the pocket. Sonny Day's routine was a blast. Here's the second possibility!

  • 25 TRANSITA - Cecil Keech / Steve Valentine - DIMINISHING CARDS/C2P

    Cecil Keech's brilliant 5 cards to pocket with a diminishing kicker ending. Straight from his act!

    Used by pros the world over for years, this routine has it all, in effect and entertainment value.

    In this teach-in, I have altered the handling to make it sleight and palm free, (you're welcome)...

  • 50 C2P IMP ROUTINES CY ENDFIELD 12 CARDS TO POCKET

    This is my all time favorite impromptu sequence, nuff said!

    Cy Endfield’s routine embodies all the aspects of good magic, structure, timing, misdirection and even the way he handles the final three cards, is dramatically perfect.
