“When Chris introduced me to ‘All Tied Up,’ I performed it for someone who was so moved that she burst into tears and hugged me afterward. This emotional impact is something I’ve never experienced with any other magic trick in my career. What I appreciate about this effect is its ability to touch people deeply, making it more than just a trick. She immediately asked me to perform it for her friend, who also became emotional. I believe this could be one of the most impactful tricks you’ll ever perform…”
– Steve Valentine
All Tied Up begins as a psychological game, transitions into an emotional journey for your spectator, reveals itself as a card trick, and culminates in a powerful moment of empowerment that will leave a lasting impression.
The true strength of this effect lies in its script. Chris Philpott, alongside Steve Valentine, provides insights into both an impromptu version and a version using a gimmicked deck (which you may already possess). All the methods are straightforward, allowing you to focus on delivering a captivating performance.
Originally featured in Chris’ book Intimate Mysteries (“A must buy!” – Mark Elsdon; “One of the best books I’ve EVER owned!” – Stephen Young; “A major contribution to our art!” – Neil Somerville), this video offers extensive details on handling and presentation.
“Of all the effects I’ve created, this is the one I perform the most. I’ve astonished a room full of experienced magicians with it and moved friends to tears during my performances. If I have time for just one effect, it’s All Tied Up.” – Chris Philpott
