MYST by Henri White
“What does Henri do? What doesn’t he do? He is my go to source for everything. As far as magic is concerned his knowledge is encyclopedic and his skills are extraordinary.” -Fay Presto
“I’m convinced that Henri has been born into the wrong century. In an era where magicians typically focus on instant gratification and poorly thought out ideas, Henri bucks that trend and takes us back to a time where creators actually thought about their creations. His material is powerful, hard hitting and multilayered. More importantly watching him learn and teach really makes you think about your magic and how to actually be a real magician.
If you really want to consider yourself a magician it’s a vital importance that you study anything Henri has to say” -Craig Petty
“Henri is one of the busiest magicians in the UK.
His finesse with cards is up there with the best and his knowledge and passion for magic is second to none. Henri’s kindness and generosity with that knowledge is rare in our industry, I have lost count on how many occasions he has helped me on all aspects of performance from the technical side to the method. Henri is a real worker and a true gentleman of our art.” -Laura London
What will he teach?
Flash Production- A brilliant way to produce a deck of cards, a rope, or any other object to command attention at the beginning of your show.
Personal Card Routine- What starts with a named card production becomes cards transforming, vanishing, appearing, and packs tons of visual high impact magic into just a few minutes. Henri also delves into the theory and technique to execute a perfect classic force, how to hide your culling and other great hints and tips about card sleight of hand.
Omni Deck- This is the routine that has taken Henri around the world, and allowed him to perform for presidents and royalty. He details the real work on how to incorporate this classic prop for maximum impact.
52!- Combines the triumph routine with a story deck to create a fantastic demonstration of mind skill.
Butter Knife Card Stab- A visual mid air card stab using a butter knife that is impressive and entertaining. This is great for walk around, but also can fill a giant stage. Henri also teaches a variation that transforms a chopstick into a card sword.
Ricky’s Tray- A fun offbeat card effect where the card selects itself on a waiter’s tray.
Phantom Book Test- This is an unforgettable book test with 6 sheet music books and a piano. Even if you are not musically inclined, this routine will help inspire you to create both chaos and fun in one memorable routine.
Who is he?
Henri has earned himself the nickname of “The Swiss-Army Human”; through his vast range of experiences in and out of the world of magic. His range of knowledge means that he is on speed dial for some of the biggest names in the industry as the only person to call you when you need help.
His career has seen him work on countless TV and theatre projects as well as performing and working with over a dozen international Royal Families and Dignitaries. Henri started the first Social media magic forum—which grew to be the biggest of its kind— he’s also on the Council of the world famous Magic Circle, where he has been instrumental in some of their biggest advances as a society in the past 5 years.
Four Stack by Zihu
The McDonald’s Aces is revered as one of the foremost card miracle known to the magic community. But only one limitation made that not real, the short space of time THE REMAINING CARD turned into 4 ACES… Until now!
The effect: the magician shows 4 ACES and few of the playing cards, every ACES magically VANISH, then REAPPEAR under THE REMAINING ONE, but now, the moment AT THE END of routine look IMPACT and DECEPTIVE than ever.
The advantages of this new method:
- You can handle The GIMMICK-STACK on the table just as one regular card, with NO GLUE, NO STICKY STUFF, NO MAGNETS, NO THREADS.
- NO FLAP, NO PALM, NO LOAD DITCH
- THE CHANGE is pure eye candy, it creates a visual IMPACT and end clean.
- The gimmick finds many applications and can also be used for as a single card changing.
- Many of McDonald’s Aces versions will be taught

Mickael Chatelain’s Reset Card brings the card to the top of the deck with ease. A spectator selects and signs a card. Places the card back into the middle of the deck and the magician waves his hand over it. In an instant, the card is at the top of the deck. It doesn’t get any simplier than that!
Fingers – Mickael Chatelain
A card that changes and vanishes into thin air!
Here’s what your spectators and even YOU will say the first time you see FINGERS.
You know about flap cards? Well, forget all that for the time being as FINGERS is not a flap card as you know it.
Today proudly offered to you is Mickael Chatelain’s latest creation:
FINGERS – The impossible change at your fingertips!
Here is the exact routine that you’ll be able to do a few short minutes after learning the secret:
Take your deck from the case and offer the spectator a FREE choice of card.
The spectator can change his mind as much as he likes as there is no force. The choice is 100% free! Let’s say the choice is the Ace of Hearts.
The spectator signs the card which is then lost in the deck. Shuffle and cut a few times, if you choose.
A magical gesture… and a card, ONE card, mysteriously turns face up in the face down deck.
Spread the deck between your hands to reveal the face-up card. Unfortunately, it’s the wrong card, which the spectator won’t hesitate to point out! The face-up card is the King of Spades.
No problem, you’re a magician!
Hold the King of Spades at your fingertips between the thumb and forefinger, fully visible to the spectator. Aside from the King, your hands are absolutely empty.
The right hand, the one holding the King, doesn’t move as the left hand passes quickly in front of the King.
You’ve got to see it to believe it…
Just as the left hand begins to pass in front of the King, the King changes to the Ace of Hearts, the freely chosen card.
More than a simple transformation…
The King seems to evaporate, to dissolve into thin air to make way for the chosen card.
A phantasmic sight as the wrong card vanishes without a trace.
And it’s really the very card the spectator chose as it still bears the spectator’s signature!
Show it front and back and hand it out to the spectator, if you’d like. It’s an ABSOLUTELY ORDINARY card.
Forget everything you have ever seen or read. Watch the demo video over and over again.
Convinced?
Remember these important points:
– Nothing to add. The gimmick takes care of everything.
– No manipulation.
– No force. The selection is truly free.
– The change is automatic.
– Instant reset.
– Video explanation included.
– The change can take place in full view by simply blowing on the card.
– As a BONUS, we include Sébastien Calbry’s version.

Changing Cards by Richard Young
Richard Young here. Welcome to the home of the original mid-air changing card. Invented in the early 90’s by Bob Swadling this stunning visual transformation of a playing card is finally available again after many years. I recently acquired the rights from Bob to bring this incredible magic gimmick back to the market for several new generations to enjoy and for older generations to reacquaint themselves with.
Bob, his wife Val and I have spent many hours on video calls to ensure the new gimmicks which are hand made maintain the high standards that made them so beloved decades ago. Each card is a hand crafted masterpiece that takes over 1 hour to construct and goes through vigorous quality control checks to ensure every one of them performs for you flawlessly and looks like trick photography.
In addition to the Swadling Changing Card I am honoured to have also been granted the rights to bring back to the market the Swadling Torn & Restored Card too. Most importantly, every card we send you will last you a LONG time due to the diligent care taken during its construction.
I know you are going to love them, please visit the shop page and take a look at the huge range of different changing cards which are available. I am really excited to share them with you.
Warmest regards
Richard Young

Behold by Arnel Renegado
Spectator selects a card and is lost in the pack; you then choose one card and FOLD it. After that you give the folded card to your spectator to HOLD, and tell them to HOLD it tight so no one can change it. But even in that situation, with just a wave you cause the folded card to change into the spectator’s singed card. Welcome to HOLD.
