A fantastic impromptu card effect from Ollie Mealing. This pretty much only requires one move and will take you around 5 minutes to learn – but we think you’ll have a lot of fun performing it! 

An effect that will make your spectator feel as if they’re living out the movie ‘Groundhog Day’

This routine came from the idea of doing the cleanest card vanish I could. I wanted there to be no suspicious finger motion and no perceptible move of any kind. The result is an effect that looks very close to if it were being done for real.

This handling of Anniversary Waltz leaves the audience with no doubt that the cards truly were separate to begin with.

The M-step Control is simple but elegant (you can learn in it 5 minutes, but you’ll add it to your list of essential sleights almost immediately)

I wanted to look at one of the most powerful concepts we can utilize in card magic—using the spectator’s NAME as the ‘driving engine’ of the effect. 

An idea I had based on Juan Tamariz’s excellent ‘Neither Blind nor Stupid.’

This is, admittedly, verging on the ‘crazy’ spectrum of my ideas. 

Here’s a fun concept I’ve played with a lot but never really took time to write out.

Last time we looked at a method for performing a ‘Weighing the Cards’ routine using a (half) shuffled deck. But what if we want to go deeper?
