Phill Smith – Interl8ced

Interl8ced (with an 8 for a reason) is a versatile, semi-self-working technique I crafted for playing cards. Over the past few months, I’ve expanded and refined it for various applications.

This method is suitable for close-up performances, cabaret, or stage shows. Whether you’re working with one person or a whole table, you can use borrowed decks or everyday items. It’s adaptable for face-to-face interactions, virtual performances via Skype, text, or even Facebook Live, allowing you to read multiple minds simultaneously. Once you grasp the method, it becomes second nature, forming part of a toolkit for creating impactful magic and mentalism unique to your style without starting from scratch.

What’s the effect?

In this effect, you present 8 objects, one of which the spectator is thinking about. Interl8ced offers a straightforward, impromptu way to identify their thought. The process takes about a minute, is easily justified, and allows for flexible revelations. Additionally, with the techniques outlined, you can uncover various hidden information like names, places, dreams, and drawings, all while maintaining a clean presentation. Everything is examinable and can be borrowed, making it an incredible tool.

If you’ve read my previous works, Quinta or GME, you know I delve deeply into effective methods. Currently, two of my favorite card tricks are based on Interl8ced, which can be performed with any borrowed deck—be it playing cards, tarot cards, or even credit cards. If I needed to know someone’s first kiss name instantly, I’d rely on Interl8ced. It’s perfect for engaging an audience and getting them involved in the magic.

Recently, I showcased an Interl8ced effect to a group of magicians, creating a version specifically for them that day, and it left them astounded. I later performed a different rendition for a lay audience themed around lie detection, and they were equally impressed. To the audience, the effects appeared distinct, which is remarkable. Both versions are included in the ebook, emphasizing the satisfaction of captivating an audience with your own creations, a focus of the final chapter.

What you get

Interl8ced is a 38-page instant download PDF detailing the method, its workings, and its applications across various effects using borrowed items like decks, business cards, and more. You’ll also learn how to create your own unique effects effortlessly.

I offer full support for my work. Having a background in tech and design, I understand the importance of ongoing assistance. My previous books, Mitox, Yokai, and Mokele, went through second editions due to the additional material and updates I provided based on buyer feedback. When I released Stegosaurus through Penguin Magic, I included extensive resources, such as multilingual word lists, because I want you to perform effectively. This commitment is reflected in the 36 five-star reviews for that effect on the Penguin site.

When you purchase Interl8ced, you gain access to my expertise to help you master the effects in the ebook. You have my email for any questions, and I ensure prompt responses to support your learning experience.

Interl8ced is designed to be straightforward and accessible. I want you to amaze your audience, and I’ve worked hard to simplify the method to ensure that it’s easy to grasp. I’ve handled the complexities so you can focus on performing.

How much is it?

To keep it affordable, I’m offering Interl8ced at a reduced price of £15 for the first week. This includes the complete ebook, all effects, free lifetime access to updates, and my full support. After the first week, the price will increase to £20.

I’ve received positive feedback from a close-knit group of magicians who have tested the method. Here’s what some early users have said:

“Using one core concept, Phill has evolved a series of fascinating and very strong interactive presentations. The principle, once learned, can be applied to a wide array of objects and presentational possibilities limited only by your imagination.”

John Carey (who added: “Love it mate!!! I will use the bare bones and lie detector. The idea with the group of 8 people made me laugh out loud. Lovely thinking.”)

“All I can say bro is ‘excellent.’ Loving the simplicity but very cunning and clever way you have taken this method to another level! My mind is now totally interl8ced with creativity!”

Mozique, creator and consultant to the stars

“With nothing more than a few pieces of card, you can create all manner of new effects and presentations – Interl8ced is simple, accessible, flexible, and fun to do.”

Peter Antoniou, Psychic Comedian

“Phill’s Interl8ced is a tidy way to learn what your audience is thinking with an intriguing procedure that will leave them scratching their heads. It’s cool! Seriously.”

Looch, creator of The Black Project

“More diabolically clever material from the fertile mind of Mr. Smith. I defy you not to put this into action right away. I’ll admit that I’m biased, as I’ve been a big fan of Phill and his work for many years now—but that aside, Interl8ced is a must-have. Period.”

Daniel Ulin

I’m excited to share this method and the routines that accompany it, and I look forward to seeing the unique performances you create with the foundation I’ve built.
