Christian Grace – Switch One

A folded card, that has been trapped under an inverted clear wine glass in full view, is shown to be a card named by a spectator.

For many, this is the holy grail of card magic. To achieve it in a manner as fair as this, where the spectator names the color, suit and value of a card, has been extremely difficult, if not borderline impossible… until now.

Christian Grace (the innovative mind behind “Level One”) and Vanishing Inc. have partnered to present “Switch One“, an ingenious new system that allows you to perform a variety of magic and mentalism miracles. The word “system” is a key part of that last sentence. To simply call this a “card trick” would be a huge disservice to the variety of principles that come together to create this powerful offering.

At the core of “Switch One“, there is a special gimmick that truly allows you to retrieve any card. However, if you want to opt for the easier handling (as shown in the trailer), you’ll find that a singular (yes, just one) moment of equivoque in the beginning helps create the best results. As you’ll learn both though, you can decide for yourself!

You’ll also learn Christian’s truly amazing switch where objects invisibly melt into one another. This imperceptible switch allows you to switch a card right under the noses of your spectators. They can be burning your hands and won’t suspect a thing.

Despite how impossible it might look, Switch One is actually super easy to use. With a little practice, anyone can master it and will then truly have a miracle-maker on their hands.

This special “Switch One” system works with any deck of cards but also isn’t limited to just playing cards. You can also use it to switch bills or billets to predict star signs, drinks names or whatever you’d like.

Check out the trailer for a full unedited performance.

He has published numerous articles, DVDs and has authored a best-selling book! This lecture will include magic that has been in print before, plus all-new, never before seen material as well! There will be a diverse mix of magic for everyone!

Hitchcock – A card effect with both suspense and surprise. This effect has been heralded all over the world and is featured in Joshua’s one man show, but has never been published in video DVD format.

Totally Triumph – A stunning version of Triumph with a nifty production move that you will want to add to your repertoire.

Back in Time – This effect has it all–the presentation, technique, and theme that will engage an audience and take them to a very unusual place.
Cornered Plus – A completely impromptu routine with a borrowed bill that has it all.
Prism Deck – Josh’s signature color-changing deck routine. You have to see this live to believe it.
Phantom Deck – Not available anywhere except AT THE TABLE, this is a closer for ANY card routine in which you cause the entire deck to turn clear.
Inferno – This is Josh’s newest effect, and it won “Trick of the Year.” A named card appears in a matchbox. Here you will find all the latest work on this captivating routine.
Any Card, Any Number – This is a VERY original and surprising version of the classic effect. If you want to learn a trick that people remember forever, don’t miss this.
Triad Coins – Josh’s new principle with coins that can be used in many, many different ways.
NOTE: Due to the nature of live events, the trick list may change.

Erik Tait – At The Table

At The Table Live Lecture Erik Tait - Vanishing Inc. Magic shop

Erik Tait came to the attention of the magic community when he won the 2018 IBM Gold Cups Close Up Competition. Since then, he has appeared on Penn & Teller: Fool Us and released a string of wildly popular effects. Now Erik lives in Columbus, OH and performs for Fortune 500 companies as well as performs on comedy shows and festivals across the country. In this lecture, he details some of his personal routines that he uses in his strolling work, as well as when he wants to absolutely wow an audience. This lecture contains material for all skill levels, and some close-kept secrets that will raise your sleight of hand to the next level. Here’s what you’ll learn:

Party Piece: This is Erik’s opener. A rapid-fire routine of highly visual magic that leaves audiences stunned. In this routine, Erik also gets into extreme detail on the one-handed top palm and teaches a new approach to it that will help you finally master this move.

The Anniversary Color Change: What starts with Erik’s handling of the Anniversary Waltz ends with a color changing deck that the audience doesn’t see coming. The best part is that you end 100% clean. Erik then details some of his thoughts and moves on the Ambitious Card, but with a huge twist that you won’t believe.

A Bar Trick with a Bit of Cork and a Borrowed Dollar: Erik has been fascinated with Ramsay’s Cylinder and Coins for nearly a decade. Erik has transformed this classic of magic into a bar trick that’s fun to do. You’ll also learn Erik’s handling of the Knowle’s Drop, a Coin sleight that does triple duty as a vanish, a false transfer, and a click pass.

Chris Mayhew – At the Table

Chris Mayhew. The mighty Chris Mayhew is but a young chap who fools when he performs. Plain and simple. His CAANDY effect absolutely fooled the heck out of some of the most knowledgeable sleight of hand technicians around. To say it bluntly, Chris Mayhew is damn good. His technique and skill? Truly uncanny. He is so good in fact that it has been rumored that even Dai Vernon tried to contact him once.

It’s already been mentioned that CAANDY was a huge HIT. So was A Clockwork Apple. It was an amazing success. If you are a true card man, then please do not miss out on the opportunity to see Chris Mayhew at work! Mayhew have a look at what he plans on performing and explaining in his lecture?

Mr. Hands – A devilish way to transform a card in someone’s hand.
Running Man – An impromptu way to perform Anniversary Waltz.
Ambitious Card – Featuring The Lazy Rise
Dairy Queens – A McDonald’s Four Ace Routine handling spun with a chaotic twist
Safety – A simple three-phase Linking Safety Pin routine
Questions – A surreal sandwich routine with a kickback-style ending
The Hole Thing – A visual sandwich concept using two Jokers with holes.
Meduimph – Triumph is put in the spectator’s hands in a very simple and powerful way.

NOTE: Due to the nature of live events, the trick list may change.

Bobby Motta – At the Table

Lecture 13 has gotten rave reviews from all who have attended. The material Bobby teaches is powerful, practical and has even fooled many magicians.

In this lecture Bobby will demonstrate one of his newest releases called Blue.

Bobby will discuss Blackmail and Informant. Both have many uses and Bobby will go into detail with different handling and routine ideas.

Bobby will teach BP which is a clever take on a peak that that uses a business card which has been fine-tuned with the input of Andy Nyman’s ingenious mind.

Bloods and Crimps is a devious idea that Bobby will demonstrate and teach which uses a breather crimp. He has fooled many of the top pros in the industry with this one.

One of Bobby’s go-to effects is STD. This is the one that is worth the entire price of the lecture. Enough said.
