What Will He Teach?

Opener: A powerful opener that sets the stage! A spectator selects a card, which is lost in the deck. They attempt to find it but fail, only for the magician to reveal it magically! Is it magic, psychology, or sleight of hand? The audience decides!

Illusion & the Box: The magician produces four kings and creates an illusion. A signed card is placed in a box, and one by one, the kings transform into the selected card. The twist? The signed card was never in the box at all!

That’s Why They Call Me King: A spectator chooses their favorite four of a kind. The magician skillfully loses them and reveals all four, transforming them into the 4 Kings.

Coin to Ring: Three coins vanish and switch places with the magician’s wedding ring, creating a stunning transposition filled with surprises!

Lie to Me: A prediction is made, a card is chosen and lost, and the spectator is asked to lie about their card. The magician deduces the truth, delivering a powerful revelation that will leave them astonished!

Rubber Prediction: After making a prediction, a card is selected and lost. The deck is wrapped with a rubber band, only to vanish and reappear around the selected card, revealing a matching prediction and a stunning four of a kind finale!

The Diddle Trick: A visually striking two-phase biddle trick that will leave your audience in awe. In phase one, their card vanishes and reappears in the deck. In phase two, they witness the card’s arrival firsthand!

What Lies Beneath: A deck of cards serves as a lie detector, culminating in a surprising finale that unfolds in the spectator’s hands!

Jiggernaut 2.0: A revived classic by Mark Jenest, enhanced with additional loads and a spectacular shot pour, ensuring an unforgettable production!
