THE EFFECTS
Counterfeit Card The best method I have ever seen or come up with for a countdown routine.
P4 – Peppermint Patty Power Puncher A cross between Torn & Restored and Healed & Sealed ... with Peppermint Patties!
Dirty Laundry The cleanest and easiest card-to-sock routine.
Lincoln’s Trick One of the founding tricks of this site, and still a favorite; turn a borrowed dollar bill into a hundred pennies right in front of their eyes.
Twister Direct mental transposition, in the spectator’s hands, without the use of sleights or gimmicks.
The M&M Switch, Improved One of the most powerful and commercial effects I’ve ever created.
Red Alert A color change routine with max spectator involvement, multiple phases, and super-visual effect, and easy, ungimmicked, examinable method!
Identity Theft A routine that takes the color-change theme into a new dimension of card magic.
Spotlight Card An inexplicable Brainwave effect using no gimmicks, where a card that a spectator merely thinks of is the only red card in a blue deck.
The Brainwave Deck Case Solution A carefully crafted patter that takes away the Achilles Heel of the classic Brainwave Deck.
Blind Triumph The only triumph routine I ever use.
The Bottomfeeder A sequence of original sleights that forms a full-length routine to blow your spectators away!
The Vengeful Massacre of the Broken-Hearted A total freakshow of the classic torn and restored card plot!
Zombie Card Finally, a practical, convincing, impromptu card levitation that employs no strings, wires, threads, elastics, or magnets of any kind.
Tekcop-Ot-Drac A mirror image and perfect compliment to the classic card to pocket routine.
Ultimate Card to Pocket A simple solution to an impossible problem!
Ultimate Card through Window A card is freely selected, a corner is removed, and the face is signed. The card visually disappears and reappears behind a window two times in a row.
THE MOVES
One-Hand Top Pop An instant, visual revelation of a card from nowhere, discovered by the best fluke ever made while practicing.
The Flip-over Change A smooth and clean in-hands card change.
Solo Erdnase A tweeked method of a classic sleight that allows the same visual card change without the deck for support!
Snap Vanish Without cover or hesitation, a single snap of the fingers vanish a card into thin air, the way an image pops out of a frame in movies.
Split Ends – The Complete Guide The single most evolved creation I’ve had, which stands today as one of the most versatile sleights I know.
Final Restoration A new ending for an already great Torn & Restored routine that I’ve found to be an improvement on both effect and method.
The Slip-In Move This is the pawn on your chess board: small, simple, and silent - but potentially devastating.
Deck Sandwich The ultimate spice you can add to any sandwich routine to create a visual split-second miracle!
Pendulum Double Lift My all-time favorite means of double lifting two cards, undetectable (even and especially among magicians), clean, and easy.
Pivoter Double Lift A one-handed double lift that serves many of my routines, including the Bottomfeeder.
Slip Force Subtlety One simple change to this classic sleight that makes the whole sequence so much smoother.
Pointer Palm A fully developed sleight that offers many techniques (all of them taught) simply unavailable to any other palms.
Slippery Ambition Here is a subtle way to bring a card to the top of the deck before you even put it in the middle.
Watch Palm This is the ultimate way to palm a pen, while you still operate your hands freely and make them appear totally clean, combined with a ton of techniques for concealing, revealing and vanishing.
The Two-Way Force One of the most practical and convincing forces I’ve ever performed, catered especially to mentalists.
Pyramid Deck Switch A new, diabolical way of switching decks in and out of your performance that doesn't take cargo pocket space, great misdirection, or nerves of steel to pull off.
Flick the Switch A quick and undetectable way of switching one bill for another in the action of flicking it with your thumb.
Caper Case This easy-to-make gimmick allows you to control what goes in and out of a deck of cards, like a bouncer at a club.
The Tyler Switch This technique is so subtle and applications so endless, the sleight goes above and beyond the switching possibilities of double lifts, top changes, etc. In between the time the card is shown and placed on the deck, it is switched out.
