Syd Segal – Simply Sydney

Syd Segal makes his return with “Simply Sydney,” featuring seven captivating selections designed to enhance your magical repertoire.

Building on the success of his previous works, Gaft Card Magic (2001) and Full Metal Jacket (2005), Syd demonstrates his expertise in crafting impactful, commercial card magic.

With guidance from his mentor, J.C. Wagner, Syd presents a well-curated collection of effects ranging from simple openers like “Double D’s and Aces” to powerful closers such as “A Logical Lesson.” Simply put, “Simply Sydney” is a must-have.

Effect Descriptions:

A Logical Lesson (JC Wagner and Syd Segal): This routine combines sleight of hand with mathematics, resulting in a captivating performance with a clear beginning, middle, and a “logical” conclusion!

Collector’s Edition: This is not your typical “collector” routine. After the Kings successfully locate and trap the three selections, the magician repeats the feat under test conditions. Not only do the selections reappear in the magician’s hands, but the King packet also vanishes completely!

Syd shares three additional alternate endings for the “Collector’s Edition” routine.

No Lap Reynolds: Inspired by several routines from Steve Reynolds, this “ace assembly” begins with Kings but concludes in an unexpected twist!

Double D’s and Aces: From a spectator-shuffled deck, the four Aces are spelled to and located in this astonishing four-of-a-kind production.

The explanation also includes J.C. Wagner’s “no sleight” method, aptly named Commercial Aces.

G.A.F.T.: A sandwich routine that features a visual “split” of the selected card between the “sandwiching” Jacks, followed by a seamless trio of effects: a production, vanish, and reappearance. This routine truly feels like real magic.

Triumphant Turn-Down: A clean and straightforward Triumph routine that surprises even the most discerning spectators!

Indications: A multi-selection routine culminating in an ultra-clean double color change.

Running Time: Approximately 1 hour and 43 minutes
