The Transposition of a Torn BillThe performer glides across the stage, and in a stunning twist, a bill held by one audience member magically swaps with a torn bill from another.
Unshuffling R.This innovative take on Paul Harris’s Unshuffling Rebecca showcases a classic cheating technique: transforming disorder into order. The performer jumbles the cards, mixing face-up and face-down, creating chaos. With a simple gesture, all cards align perfectly, except for the Ace and Jack of Spades, forming an ideal Blackjack.
HeliumA volunteer joins the performer on stage, receiving a helium balloon to hold while he holds his breath. Mysteriously, the balloon begins to deflate, sinking lower until the volunteer exhales, causing it to rise back to its original height. The balloon is then gifted as a memorable keepsake.
Drawing to Impossible LocationAudience members create abstract drawings on small pieces of paper, which are then burned in plain sight, only to reappear in the performer’s pocket. The drawing is destroyed again, but this time it astonishingly materializes inside a sealed envelope held by an audience member.
The Invisible PalmWitness the astonishing Invisible Palm technique as the performer squeezes several playing cards in his hand, rendering them completely invisible. With another squeeze, the cards reappear for all to marvel at.
