Korner by Drusko

From the creative mind of Drusko, a Mexican magician creator of “Radioactive”, comes this new twist on the TNR corner plot developed and produced by Thinking Paradox.

The effect is as follows: a card is selected and signed by a spectator. One corner of the card is torn away by the spectator itself, who holds his torn card between his hands. Magician takes the corner, put it on spectator’s hands and makes it disappear just by waving his empty hands over it. Now spectator can open his hands and he will discover that not only the corner is there, but also is linked again to the card which ends completely restored.

And here is the better part: the effect is completely impromptu, you will borrow any deck and just performing it. The card is signed and the restorations occurs on spectator’s hand. Instructional video is very detailed and plenty of advices and ideas, also you will find 4 different new and visual restorations.

NOTE: Download is Spanish Audio with English Subtitles.

João Miranda & Julio Montoro – Sketch

From the creative minds of João Miranda and Julio Montoro — an extremely visual and surprising card revelation like no other.

In this illusion, the magician shows a pad, and sketches a card – his prediction of the one the spectator will choose. The spectator then selects a card, and the magician shows what he has drawn — the audience laughs because the magician only drew the BACK of a card!

Suddenly the drawing VISIBLY jumps out of the pad, transforming into a real card, exactly matching the spectator’s selection!

SKETCH is extremely easy to perform, and is always guaranteed to get an amazing reaction from the audience.

Paradigm Shift by Simon Black.avi

The Paradigm Shift is Simon’s go-to way of controlling a selection anywhere in the deck. It is one of the smoothest card controls that we have encountered in a long time.

Simon Black is one of the most promising magicians from downtown Chicago. Well versed in both hard-core techniques and performance theories, Simon has the ability to create sleights that are sophisticated in construction and yet, seamless in execution.

The Paradigm Shift is Simon’s go-to way of controlling a selection to anywhere in the deck. It draws inspiration from the work of Bill Goodwin, Edward Hammond, Tony Chang, Paul LePaul and is an independent creation that has similarities in a control by Norman Beck. It is one of the smoothest card controls that we have encountered in a long time. With the Paradigm Shift, Simon solved a lot of the problems that he had with the Classic Pass. This shift is causal, angle proof and extremely deceptive.

In this download, Simon also shares 5 different applications that incorporate the Paradigm Shift. The color change, transposition, CAAN, Red & Black Separation, and Stock Exchange.

To quote Simon himself, “You will use the Paradigm Shift.”

Out of Sight By Joshua Jay

Out of Sight - magic

For months–ever since Joshua Jay fooled Penn & Teller with “Out of Sight,” customers have been emailing us every day, asking when it will finally be ready. Friends, we have news for you. It’s ready!

The reason it took so long is that each deck takes nearly an hour to craft, by hand. All the cards are custom-printed, and the deck allows someone to think of ANY card in a deck. You tell them what card they thought of, you find their card, and ALL THE OTHER CARDS ARE BLANK.

Rarely does an effect come about that has a logical, intriguing presentation woven into the magic itself. In “Out of Sight” you explore what it would be like to perform magic for a blind person.

The effect is also ENTIRELY self-working. As in, there is not a single move in the entire routine. Once you understand how the deck works, the effect performs itself. You’re just there to present it.
