Soul Paper by Rick Lax

Magic has the power delight and inspire awe. But sometimes you just want to CREEP PEOPLE OUT. Magic can do that, too. This trick in particular…

Picture this: Your spectator thinks of somebody she used to know—somebody who’s now dead. She writes a secret detail of the dead person’s life on a tiny piece of paper, which gets folded up, ripped up, and thrown into a glass of soda or wine. You place a barrier above the glass—it can be a book or a magazine or a mirror—and then, on top of that, you set a tiny paper effigy.

Michel Huot LIVE

Michel Huot is Montreal’s busiest corporate magician.  He has been doing corporate magic for the past 20 years.  He did not received a magic kit when he was 6.  He started at age 23, years after seeing a magician at an event.  Michel was dealing with personal issues at the time (the death of his mother and father) and realized that time stopped while he was being entertained by the magician.  He did not think about his parents for the 10 minutes the magician was there.  For him, THAT was the magic.  The next day Michel had bought a copy of Mark Wilson’s course in Magic.

DRINKS CARD KIT – ASTONISHING BOTTLE

Drinks Card Kit - Astonishing Bottle

The performer predicts a drink that is inside a brown paper bag. The spectator, standing behind the performer, now must select a card from an entirely different deck – hopefully matching the drink inside the bag.

The audience can see that the cards where the spectator must select their drink from consist of duplicates of the prediction which is inside the paper bag. The spectator is now invited to select any card after the magician moves the cards one at a time from the top to the bottom of the deck. The audience is laughing since they can see that all the cards are the same. The spectator calls out the name of the chosen card (coke) and the audience is shocked to hear that the selected card is NOT the same as the prediction, which is a bottle of Fanta that is inside the paper bag.
