In and Of Itself

The star of “Derek DelGaudio’s In & Of Itself.”

here is a list of ways to describe Derek DelGaudio’s In & Of Itself: Magic. Sleight of hand. Performance art. Confessional. An extended monologue, with card tricks. An allegory. A therapy session. Experimental theater. One of a kind. In and of itself.

By the time DelGaudio wrapped up his indefinable stage show’s 560-performance theatrical run, first in Los Angeles, then in New York, he’d amassed a collection of bold-faced blown minds. Stephen Colbert, another expert in the blurriness of identity, was so captivated by In & Of Itself that he coproduced the film version directed by Frank Oz, which debuts on Hulu on Friday.

Tom Stone – Of Dice And Men

You bring a participant up on stage and explain that you are going to let the roll of a die decide how you greet her. She shakes a die in a cup and calls out the number. “Three!” You remove the card with the number three from the stand and it says “Hug”. You hug the spectator, accidentally revealing that all of the other cards say “Kill”.

Numismatic by Tim David

Numismatic by Tim David - DVD

Borrow a coin, have it marked, and drop it somewhere near the center of an unprepared glass table. Show both hands cleanly and clearly empty. Press on the coin and it visibly passes through the table and into your waiting hand below. One second it’s above the glass, the next it just drops right through. You can hand the coin (and table!) out for examination, they will find nothing.

Caleb Wiles – Fully Automatic Card Trick

Fully Automatic Card Trick (Gimmick and Online Instructions) by Caleb Wiles

It’s rare to come upon a trick that is COMPLETE. With “FACT” you receive a completely worked-through routine: a compelling presentation, a diabolical magic trick, and a deck of cards that does ALL the work for you. What’s not to love?

The idea is that a deck of cards is cut and shuffled, and the spectator follows a series of instruction cards that are increasingly fair and impossible. And despite the mixing and the COMPLETE fairness of the procedure, the spectator finds her OWN selection… and then she finds all three mates to the selected card.
