What Will He Teach?
Getting To Know You – In this engaging routine, the magician uses a deck of cards to ask the spectator humorous questions about themselves, spelling out one card for each letter of their answers. Despite the numerous possibilities, the final card reveals the spectator’s name, creating a genuine connection.
Wild Birthday – This lively routine transforms a classic card trick into a delightful experience for birthday celebrations, especially for children. It involves the entire audience in the festivities and leaves the birthday person with a memorable keepsake.
Mallrats – A spectator embarks on an imaginary journey through a mall directory, and the magician accurately predicts the store they will choose. This effect provides each audience member with a unique memento featuring your contact information.
Mad About You – A deeply personal effect that invites the audience into your life momentarily, showcasing how fate influences our choices. The spectator freely selects a card that astonishingly matches your prediction.
Baby Gag – David’s rendition of the classic “Baby Gag” effect transforms a simple joke into a miraculous moment about half the time, while still delivering laughs the other half!
Baci – A straightforward card trick evolves into a magical and delectable souvenir for your spectators. Ideal for table-hopping, it engages multiple participants, occupies minimal pocket space, and creates a visual transposition of two objects.
Can I Call You Sometime – This is David’s signature effect. A spectator chooses from 25 different ladies’ phone numbers while a deck of cards is shuffled in a face-up/face-down manner. When spread, the only face-up cards correspond to the selected phone number, creating a stunning hands-off miracle! Asi Wind states, “The concept of David’s ‘Can I Call You Sometime’ is worth the price of his entire lecture.”
