Philipp Ganglberger has earned his living with performing mentalism for over twenty years by now. Besides having multiple TV-Specials with his friends as a group called “Magic Mushrooms”, he has appeared on nearly every stage in Austria. B2 is the name of the billet routine he used to do (and still does) in his act. It is suited for stage and parlor. Within the routine two thoughts are read. The routine itself is directed at advanced mentalists. You will have to p**k, s***ch, and mis***l. Did wer mention there is a du**y as well. But if you dare to practice you have something really marvelous at your fingertips. Mentalism done the Old School – no electronics, just you, yourmind, your fingers and your audience.

A killer predicted card at any number effect
Effect:
A deck of cards is introduced. The magician claims that there is a prediction in the deck which he will reveal in a moment. The spectator then names any number between 1 and 52. Say the number is 34. The magician deals down to that number and out-jogs the card. As the magician points out that any number could have been named, other cards are shown with totally normal backs. The selected card is then removed from the deck and turned over. Drawn on the back of the card is the number 34.
Welcome to Trinity, Dani DaOrtiz’s masterclass on control by making it look like you have absolutely no control. It is the perfect blend of chaos, “free choice,” and psychology.
In Trinity, cards are randomly handed out and shuffled. One person memorizes a card and then all the cards are returned to the table. Now you take another borrowed deck and have the spectators choose 3 random cards to create a number. With only one finger, you then count down to that number in the original deck and miraculously, it’s the spectator’s card.
Scott Robinson creates some of the most interesting visual close-up magic that we have ever seen. In his hands, coins appear in three separate locations at once and cards dematerialise in ways that we never thought were possible. His magic is the rare complete combination: deceptive, entertaining, and visual. In his introduction, Steve Beam called him “one of his favorite magicians” — and we understand why.
