MAGIC IN THE TIME OF COVID is an innovative approach to distance learning in magic. I’m Charlie Wynn, and together, we’ll explore the art of distance magic—simple yet impactful tricks that you can perform right from your hands. By following my easy instructions, you’ll execute eight incredible illusions that will leave you amazed.

Forget traditional sleight-of-hand; this experience focuses on sleight-of-mind. Instead of wondering, “How did the magician do that?” you’ll be asking yourself, “How did I do that?” All you need is a deck of cards and a paper clip to create truly astonishing magic.

The first five illusions are inspired by Juan Tamariz’s renowned book, *Verbal Magic*, which features over forty captivating tricks. Tamariz emphasizes, “They do everything themselves. The magician doesn’t touch a thing, and the methods are well disguised. When the effects take place in their own hands, the reaction multiplies enormously. The sensation of magic sends chills down the spines of the participants.”

The final three self-working tricks are drawn from Jim Steinmeyer’s *Impuzzibility* series, specifically *Further Impuzzibilities*, *Treacherous Impuzzibilities*, and *Devilish Impuzzibilities*.

Now, let the magic unfold!
