“As always, Curtis brings a devastating clarity to coin magic, providing visual moments of impossibility that are sometimes dizzying to behold. Fearless in his sleight of hand, Curtis also has the key quality that many technicians lack: an intelligent personality that is driven to entertain his audiences. Perhaps most importantly for those who are just starting to study Curtis’s material, he is a “big picture” performer: he carefully choreographs the individual moments that make up a larger routine, he recognizes the subtleties that make such moments work, and he deploys years of psychological and philosophical ruminating that allows all of the pieces to work together as a whole and create truly amazing magic.” -Kainoa Harbottle

HOLY SH*T by Paul Gordon
Paul Gordon’s Holy Sh*t is a fooler to beat all foolers! And, aside from the killer routine, it’s totally examinable at the end! So you know, Paul Gordon first marketed a version (called Holy Cow) some thirty years ago but it didn’t end clean. This new version does! It is supplied in USPCC stock but your set won’t be the same faces or backs as in the video. But the killer effect is the same. Online video tutorial. It’s basically an ideal pocket/wallet trick to do anywhere!
“A fun fast-paced routine with a shockingly visual kicker I didn’t see coming!”
Bottle by Perseus Arkomanis
There’s something undeniably romantic about tossing a message into the ocean and seeing to whom fate – abetted by the currents and wind – might deliver the marine missive.
Messages have been slipped into bottles and shipped on mysterious voyages at least since 310 B.C., when Greek philosopher Theophrastus employed the tactic to test his theory that the Atlantic flows into the Mediterranean Sea.
A message is chosen in the form of a playing card. You introduce a mini glass bottle sealed with a cork. With a wave of the hand a miniature of the selection appears rolled up and sealed inside the
Yoichi Akamatsu’s Cylinder and Coins
This is Cylinders and Coins by Yoichi Akamatsu, winner of the Ishida Tenkai Award.
Yoichi Akamatsu is a shadowy figure who, once he gives a lecture, is always seen by many of the Kansai region’s leading performers. Even they, who have seen thousands of magic tricks, are genuinely surprised by Akamatsu’s work and roar when they see his explanations. His effects are beyond the imagination, and his simple tricks make them possible. Everyone is jealous of his talent.

The Incredible Appearing Nothing by Christophe Fouquet
“This is not just another packet trick. It’s a visual mindblower based on some real out of the box thinking. Giant holes appear in four playing cards one by one. The holes are clearly real. Then comes the mind-blowing ending – the holes are just black stickers on the backs of the cards! Christophe has come up with a real winner here. And, as you learn to perform the trick, you’ll learn a new four card count that can be applied to other tricks. Get this one before they sell out.” – Mike Powers
“An beautifully absurd premise meets a delightfully practical method… What’s not to love?!” – Kyle Purnell
