Psycho by Iñaki Zabaletta and Vernet
One of the best classics of all time but now renewed, we are talking about the legendary “Card Stabbing”. This act has everything we want in a routine: comedy, challenge, audience participation, strong magic and hitchcockian tension. From a shuffled deck five cards are freely selected, noted and lost in the deck, one spectator blindfolds the magician and shuffles the cards, the magician without seeing anything one by one stabs the five
Pure Imagination by Scott Robinson
Scott Robinson creates some of the most interesting visual close-up magic that we have ever seen. In his hands, coins appear in three separate locations at once and cards dematerialise in ways that we never thought were possible. His magic is the rare complete combination: deceptive, entertaining, and visual. In his introduction, Steve Beam called him “one of his favorite magicians” — and we understand why.

Calen Morelli and João Miranda – Metal Phone
In August of 2018 Calen Morelli and João Miranda met in Las Vegas for the first time.
João had heard Calen was carrying around a black briefcase with never before seen methods inside.
This is where Calen showed João his prototype for his metal phone routine.
Once back in Portugal, the obsessive mind of João Miranda took this concept and engineered an internal locking mechanism that took this beautiful routine to a level some might say borderlines a piece of art.
This was an unexpected collaboration that brought about a truly amazing offering to the magic community.
Martin Gardner Matematica Magia y Misterio
Como muchos otros temas híbridos, la magia matemática es a menudo despreciada por partida doble. Los matemáticos se inclinan a considerarla un juego trivial, y los magos la descartan por tediosa. Parafraseando un epigrama sobre los biofísicos, puede decirse que quienes practican la magia matemática pueden aburrir a los amigos matemáticos con una charla sobre magia, a sus amigos magos con una charla sobre matemática, y a ambos con una charla sobre política. Todas estas animadversiones tienen algo de fundamento. La magia matemática — admitámoslo— no es el tipo de magia con la que se puede tener fascinado a un público de mentalidad no matemática. Sus trucos demoran demasiado y su efecto dramático es escaso.
Andy Nyman – Insane
The perfect open prediction…”
Do you believe in fate or destiny?
You remove an envelope from your pocket. It is sealed. There are no secret compartments or hidden flaps. You explain that inside this envelope, there is one prediction. One card, sealed. No matter what the spectator says or does, nothing can change the outcome. It is fate. It is determined.
You give the spectator a deck of cards. They examine. They shuffle.
You are completely sure of your prediction, and to prove it, you tear open the envelope, showing a face down card. You are committed. And to make things even MORE fair, you turn the card over. They see the identity. They see the future.
