Magic Masterclass for Card Tricks and Magic Tricks

A spectator chooses a card which can then be revealed by the magician in any way they wish.

It's a bet the spectator doesn't think they can possibly loose but you're a magician so you always win.

A spectator's pulse gives away the location of their card.

A great card revelation with a kicker ending

A very easy way to have a spectator choose a card then be able to tell them what it is.

An impossible looking trick where the spectator does all of the work themselves.

What to expect from your explanations.

This is a great card control that's really easy to do. It looks like you're shuffling the deck fairly but really you're keeping track of one particular card the whole time. 

The most simple way to get a spectator to choose the card you want them to choose but there's much more to this than you may first think so watch carefully.

This is a legitimate shuffle if you go all the way through the deck but by altering it a little you can get away with a very deceptive & fair looking placement.

You'll need to have learnt the "Cross Cut Card Force" for this one and the "Overhand Shuffle Control" will come in handy too.

You'll need to know the "Hindu Shuffle" for this one & the "Overhand Shuffle Card Control" will come in handy if you don't want to have to peek and remember a different bottom card each time.

You'll have to have learnt the Hindu Shuffle for this one so check that out first if you haven't already

A classic of magic you'll be able to do with any deck (even a borrowed one) make sure you've learnt the "Hindu Shuffle" first though.

I love this trick, it's self working after your initial work but the key is in the detail of how you give your instructions.

An impromptu miracle, the magician passes a coin through the table then back again before a final unexpected killer finish. 

The magician makes a coin or any small object vanish into thin air.

The magician rubs a coin on their elbow and it completely vanishes.

A spectator blows on a coin and it completely disappears.

A coin passes through a solid table top, the audience actually hear it pass through!!!

This is an awesome trick I love performing when out to dinner, in a cafe or at a BBQ. You don't need any extra gimmicks, you can borrow everything you need and it gets amazing reactions from a live audience. 

A great method of vanishing a coin, this uses possibly the most common method known as the French Drop. Watch the video carefully as it's 10% move & 90% acting to make it look good.

Once you've done a coin vanish like the French Drop, you're left "dirty" ie. you have a coin in one of your hands so you can't show them both empty. You need to ditch it somewhere so these are some methods of doing it without getting caught. 

Unlike the other "Coin" through table, this is an actual coin going through the table with no cover etc. It's a great way to use the technique taught in the "Coin Vanish" and you're not left having to conceal or ditch a coin.

The magician burns a hole in the centre of a borrowed napkin then magically restores it right before the spectators eyes.

Another classic of magic, make a handkerchief magically disappear.

Once you've vanished the handkerchief, you could just make it reappear but this is a more interesting way of doing it using a napkin. The magician pulls the handkerchief from the centre of an empty napkin.

A great way to produce your handkerchief, I absolutely love the smoothness of the clean up on this one too.

A very clean coin vanish with a small coin, it completely vanishes even in short sleeves.

A trick that can be performed whilst out to dinner or for large audiences. The magician pours salt into their empty fist, it quickly vanishes only to be poured out of the other hand.

All the hard work for this trick takes place when the audience aren't paying attention to it so it's perfect misdirection. You can also make it seem completely impromptu when out for dinner or at a BBQ.

There is so much more to this than stuffing your handkerchief into the gimmick, make sure you pay close attention to the finer points of this video.

Here are a few options for reproducing a handkerchief magically either once you've made it vanish or as an opener to a routine.

A very clean vanish of a coin or other small object, you will need to use a special gimmick but handle it properly and it will go undetected. 

You're gimmick is often associated with a vanishing handkerchief but not many people link it to other effects and this is a great trick to use it for.
