A Thought Covertly ConveyedAbhinav Bothra A hybrid of a card trick and the plot spectator as mind reader dressed in the clothes of hypnosis.
Spectator 1 selects a card and places it back in the deck which is then put into the box. Spectator 2 is asked to close his/her eyes and is put through a simple process at the end of which he/she names the card.
Honest Notes:
The card is a force card (any card among the 52 will do) and it is conveyed through some physical factors supported by the script.
In here you'll find my script in English, which can easily be adapted to any language and is not bound by any particular word/s. And... | ★★★★★ $5 to wish listPDF & MP4 |
A Thought Left UnsaidAbhinav Bothra A thought of card is conveyed to everyone (without writing down or uttering a single word) while the performer has his back towards the audience.
Once done, the performer turns back asks a couple of unrelated questions and hesitatingly pulls out a single card from a deck of playing cards. And that happens to be their thought of card.
- No stooges or confederates
- Borrowed deck
- Angle proof (can be done surrounded)
- Super easy to do

A Thought Stumbled UponAbhinav Bothra A couple of people are invited to participate in a trick - any 4 of a kind gets chosen, one of the 4 cards is then given to Participant no. 1 by Participant no. 2. Participant 1 who has no knowledge of the card in his hand correctly deduces the suit and then the value of the card.
- Borrowed and Shuffled Deck.
- No Forces.
- Easy to do.
Honest Notes:
- This needs a table or a working surface.
- A fact (stated twice in the patter), a phrase and the casualness of the performer's is what makes this possible.
- Included in here is the script (fully customizable) and a short video (download from...

ABhyaas ChangeAbhinav Bothra ABhyaas Change is a fast and stunning card color change that happens in a split second and a small shake. Often confused to be done using gimmicks, it is 100% IMPROMPTU and requires 100% SLEIGHT OF HAND. Taught here are four different ways of performing this color change and three clean-up options.
[Note: It was brought to my attention that ABhyaas Change looks similar to Cody Nottingham's SOLE Change taught in his release Changes. Later, I found out that both changes are different in terms of grip, secret move, end position etc. It's mere co-incidence that they look similar.

CaantasticAbhinav Bothra For decades magicians are on a quest to perform Any Card At Any Number from a borrowed and shuffled deck; which isn't always possible so they often settle for Card At Any Number.
The problem is that Card At Any Number when presented as a one-time feat can be mistaken as a co-incidence or the skill of the performer which takes away the feeling of it being pure magic. Caantastic counters just that by creating a mother of all co-incidences moment for the audience.
