“I’ve just added this gem to my impromptu performances—and you should too! Buried Treasure is an excellent way to involve spectators. It’s deceptively simple yet incredibly impactful! If you don’t have a compass handy, you can use an empty bottle, a spoon, or even a pen to determine the next direction. Or get creative!” – Geoff Williams

Allan Kronzek, a New York Times bestselling author, masterfully combines storytelling with mind-boggling tricks that captivate audiences. In Buried Treasure, you embark on a treasure hunt inspired by the classic film Treasure Island, performing an almost self-working card trick that is highly interactive. Here’s how it unfolds:
The magician invites the audience on a treasure hunt. A deck is shuffled, a card is chosen, and then lost in the deck. An audience member takes a portion of the deck and follows the instructions of a cut card, dealing small piles of cards. This process continues until they reach the spot marked by an ‘X.’ The magician then reveals the treasure—the selected card.
Building on the techniques of Bob Long and Dai Vernon, this captivating effect allows the audience to engage with the cards actively. The secret is straightforward yet incredibly effective, fooling both laypeople and magicians. With minimal moves required, no markings, stacks, or memorization, Buried Treasure by Allan Kronzek is a must-have for any performer.
