runtime: 2min 1s

The ultimate ungaffed wild card - use any deck.

The original version of this routine was called Born to be Wild (from Inspirations). Peter has enjoyed performing the original over the years, for lay people AND magicians, but the fact that he couldn't show the last card always bothered him. You were left with a face-to-face double that had to be dropped onto the deck and a triple lift executed to finish. Going back to the deck for a finish is never good! But this has now changed ...

This new version changes that. You are now left with a single court card for a clean and powerful finish. There is also...

Stanley Collins on Steroids! No Gaffs or Duplicates. If you dispense with the "marked cards" climax, you can do this with any deck. But the marked cards ending is too strong to lose!

No Gaffs or Duplicates. This is a reworked version of "The Case in Hand" that appeared in Duffie's Card Compulsions. You tell a story of a stranger and a gang of four in an unpleasant neighborhood. The gang needs to defend their turf but the stranger with the help of two body guards finds a clever place to hide.

• Great finish to any routine.
• This is a reworked version of "Valediction".
• Easy one-time Preparation.

• No Gaffs or Duplicates.
• Impromptu
• Use any Deck.
• This is a reworked version of "Pocket Assembly".

In Turbulence, the impossible becomes possible.

Turbulence is a multi-phase card routine that is both mind-bending and entertaining.

Effect:

Turbulence kicks off with a sizzling and super clean "Collectors" phase where four Kings instantly collect three previously signed cards. Then, in the blink of an eye, the three cards instantly vanish. The three cards are then reproduced as they are summoned from the deck one by one. Finally, the Kings are placed in your pocket and an impossible transposition occurs — the Kings are suddenly found on the table while the three signed cards are...

The "2 as 4 count" is a very versatile utility move which can be applied to any number of effects.

Peter goes into detail on how to grip the cards, make it look natural and even teaches you a little trick you can do with the move. People have been begging Peter to teach them his counts, that time has finally arrived!

Simple Collectors is Peter's take on the original Collectors plot. Three cards are selected by three spectators, and after they have remembered their selections the cards are lost in the deck. The magician shows the four kings and also randomly distributes these throughout the deck. With a snap of the fingers the magic happens, and the magician spreads the cards out on the table. In between the 4 Kings; 3 Cards assembled themselves. The Three selected cards.

You will need a little bit of wax.
