The Friendship Game by Larry Hass (Instant Download)

A stunning effect that requires no sleight of hand, designed to astonish even the most analytical minds. With any deck of cards, you can achieve the impossible.

Larry Hass, the esteemed dean of the McBride Mystery School, excels in utilizing deep psychological principles and scripting techniques to create magic that truly captivates. His series on borrowed card effects revitalizes classic card magic, allowing for impromptu performances with a shuffled deck. This effect, known as the Friendship Game, is Larry’s signature closer for high-profile audiences, including heads of state and corporate clients.

Here’s how it works: The performer selects two prediction cards from a shuffled deck and places them face up on the table. A spectator then chooses how many cards to use from the remaining deck. These cards are handed to another spectator, who splits them into two piles. Miraculously, the top cards from each pile match the prediction cards perfectly. Larry has enhanced a classic Johnny Thompson trick with a heartfelt theme of friendship and added psychological convincers that are applicable to your entire magic repertoire. This engaging trick involves multiple spectators and guarantees strong reactions, all while being nearly self-working. Discover how to engage your audience and play The Friendship Game with insights from the dean of the McBride Mystery School.
