Luke Dancy seamlessly melds together the classic ‘pick a card’ plot with a four ace production, demonstrating the beauty of magic in its simplicity.

A spectator chooses a card from a spread in an attempt to pull out an Ace. Failing to do so, their chosen card is tabled while the performer tries to locate an ace. The performer’s selection is turned over — it’s the exact same card as chosen by the spectator.

Attention is now brought back to the tabled card, which has incredibly now become three cards. The cards are flipped end on end with the performer’s card to reveal – they’re the three aces… the fourth ace? Now held by the performer.

Matt Mello – Cards and Numbers

Cards and Numbers by Matt Mello Instant Download

For the ‘Any Card at Any Number’ lovers, Cards and Numbers will most certainly be something you’ll want to add to your arsenal! The spectator can cut the deck as many times as they like, box the cards, and put them in their purse or sit on them. They then go through a quick imaginary process, where the spectator selects a truly random card and random number. With no forcing involved, and the performer never needing to touch the deck, the spectator can remove the cards, count to whatever number they chose, and find the card they selected!

To be forward, there is a stack. But it can be any stack that you know or are familiar with! Si Stebbins, Breakthrough, or any other would work perfectly fine with this concept. Aside from knowing your stack, no sleights are involved and no mathematics are needed. In fact, you do very little.

Will Tsai – Alchemist

Alchemist: Blossom - Will Tsai - Vanishing Inc. Magic shop

This is one of the best self-bending metal effects we have ever seen. Will Tsai’s effects always seem to ask the question, ‘what would it look like if I could do this for real?’ and when you see the way that this effect allows you to warp metal so beautifully, you’ll appreciate why his philosophy is so good.

If we truly had the power to bend metal, why stop at just one bend?

Blossom will suck the wind out of your spectator as your psychokinetic ability contorts and flares the neck and every single tine of a simple dinner fork. The moment where they realized that the power of your mind is reconstructing the physical properties of metal is one that will live with them forever.
