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...

A lovely move that smacks of the vanishing birdcage, fast and snappy!

So, before you learn the routine, you better take a look at the gimmicks that you’re going to need to make, in order to achieve the impossible.

Don’t worry, they’re very easy and you can create some pretty powerful magic with some very simple gimmickry.

THIS QUADRUPLE REPEAT CARD TO WALLET (OR TRIPLE NO PALM CARD TO WALLET) Routine I've kept to myself for many years and now, it's yours!

Over the years I have collected what feels like hundreds of trick wallets. Some are well known and other are scarce. The Paul Brignall M-Wallet was a prop I ...

Ralph W. Hull's. brilliant clean method for the classic STOP effect.

Simple, no sleight of hand and mind-blowing to a lay audience... or muggle...

I love Rink's snazzy, flourishy handling of card through box AND hanky, truly disarming!

One of the more influential handlings ever published of the McDonald’s four aces with Jumbo cards was this one by a wild character called Edward Proudlock, he had some lovely ideas, and I will do an even more in-depth version of this in the future but first let’s get you going with some early Pro...

So how about a little Valentine finesse to give you a killer ending to the Collins jumbo aces?

Really, this is strong, just give it a shot!

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...

In magic TIMING is EVERYTHING. It’s the difference between magic and a puzzle, between a little applause and a standing ovation, and hiding or exposing a sleight.

Yep a quick discussion on various ways to secretly hold the eggs....

Time to learn some very important moves, moves that will create real eye popping magic.

Here’s is one of the main routines for BOOKED. It’s a brilliant presentation, because basically it’s ANNEMANN’S. It has been pointed out to me by one of our wonderfully smart members that the story is not historically accurate. If that concerns you within your performance please feel free to do ...

Some REAL thoughts on all of this…

Just as I was about to put NO EGG - NO BAG to bed, I had a brainstorm on how to:

A) Make it simpler and more open in handling

B) Make it even more commercial

C) Add an audio visual element to help sell the appearance of each egg

D) Remove any semblance of special magic props

Intrigued?

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

A chosen card rises out of a borrowed book, a simple, purely impromptu effect with any cards and any book.

Steve also adds his thoughts and variations that take Riser to the next level and lift this effect into the miracle routine category.
