Impromptu Magic Project

Imagine being at a party, and someone learns you’re a magician. Suddenly, you’re on the spot to perform! Vinny Grosso recognized that his professional magic repertoire didn’t quite fit these casual situations. To address this, he collaborated with some of the best minds in magic to create a collection of astonishing tricks that can be executed anywhere, at a moment’s notice.

This three-volume download features renowned magicians Banachek, Bill Herz, Chris Kenner, Mac King, and Mike Caveney, each sharing their favorite impromptu effects. You’ll receive detailed, one-on-one instruction, witness real-world performances by Vinny at cocktail parties, and engage in insightful discussions and critiques from the group.

From Kenner’s “Picture This” to King’s “Bill in Pen,” the Impromptu Magic Project equips you to amaze friends, family, and even strangers, regardless of the setting (including virtual performances). Some tricks will be new to you, while others will provide fresh insights and nuances that can enhance both impromptu and other magic routines.

Volume 1 Tricks:

• Give Me That (Mac King): Vanish a coin in a cloth napkin, then produce it along with someone’s drink!
• Vanishing Napkin (Bill Herz): Roll a paper napkin into a ball that gradually shrinks until it disappears.
• PK Pencil 1&2 (Banachek): Move a pencil using only your mind, then split it in half with a borrowed bill.
• Instant Psychic (Mike Caveney): Grant anyone psychic abilities while you leave the room for them to divine a random choice.

Volume 2 Tricks:

• Acrobatic Straw (Mike Caveney): Make an unwrapped plastic straw mysteriously jump back into its paper wrapper.
• Picture This (Chris Kenner): Use someone else’s phone to predict an object they will randomly select.
• Touch of Salt (Mac King): Vanish a knife by swallowing it, only to produce it from an unexpected place.
• Sugar Packets (Bill Herz): Predict which sugar packet will remain after someone eliminates the rest.

Volume 3 Tricks:

• Right on Time (Bill Herz): Predict the time a stranger will select on their watch.
• Bill in Pen (Mac King): Make a borrowed bill vanish, only to find it inside a pen that has been visible the whole time.
• PK Pencil 3 (Banachek): Snap an ordinary pencil in half using just your mind.
• Cardless Card Trick (Bill Herz): Predict a thought-of playing card from someone’s imagination.

“Impromptu effects are the sort of thing we all love to trade around and jam on at magic clubs or conventions. The style, structure, and content of this project makes it feel like a jam session you would kill to get in on.” – Carisa Hendrix

“This series reminds us all that the secret to the art of magic lies in the subtleties. You’ll find some simple tricks and, more importantly, the little touches to make them great. Lots to learn here.” – Stan Allen
“I’m only halfway through the video and there are already a few things that are going into my permanent repertoire. I’m a big fan of impromptu magic and I was surprised to learn some great things I’ve never seen before. Every magician should watch this masterclass in impromptu magic so they’re always ready when the situation arises.” – Michael Mode
“First, what an amazing group. You can’t go wrong when you bring Banachek, Bill Herz, Chris Kenner, Mac King, Mike Caveney, and Vinny Grosso together to teach and discuss magic. The effects are great and truly impromptu, designed to perform with everyday objects rather than special props. The panel discussions include valuable tips, ideas, and insights based on the group’s many years of professional experience in magic. Highly recommended!” – Jen Kramer
“This is like being a fly on the wall while some terrific (and noteworthy) magicians have a session. The result is one of the most enjoyable and useful videos one could wish for.” – David Regal
“The Impromptu Magic Project would be a must-buy if it was just hearing these legends of magic give advice. The fact that they also tip the tricks that back up their philosophy (and you get to see Vinny perform the tricks in a real-world setting) means this has to be in your library if you are serious about magic.” – David Corsaro
“Who gets to spend three hours with five world-class magicians learning some simple, very effective tricks and discussing the finer points of presentation? There are some great insights shared that are invaluable to any magician, regardless of their level of experience. And the material is presented in such a wonderful, refreshing manner. I highly recommend this to all magicians!” – Marc DeSouza
“I love the premise of this project. Not only will you learn amazing tricks but you will learn how to do it and how NOT to do it. Vinny could have edited the tape but he didn’t and that is why those tapes are valuable. Don’t miss out!” – Michel Huot
