In this Masterclass series, Woody will cover a variety of intriguing topics:

Masterclass 1

Direct Spelling – After spectators shuffle the deck, a value and suit are named. When that card is spelled out, the last card dealt matches the thought-of card. This straightforward and deceptive card trick seamlessly integrates into any magician’s repertoire.

The Poker Hand (Performance) – While we won’t spoil the surprise, prepare to witness a stunning visual packet trick, with the explanation coming in the second Masterclass!

Location at Number – This effect combines classic concepts from Partagas and Robert Houdin, allowing a spectator’s chosen card to be located at a number they select.

Guessing by Colors – The deck is divided into red and black cards. Woody astonishingly divines specific cards under seemingly fair conditions.

The Mentalist Plus – One of Woody’s personal favorites, this trick features a clever callback to the initial spelling trick, where a card is divined in a particularly impressive manner.

Coincidences by Incidences – For the first time on video, learn Woody’s take on the classic “Total Coincidence” plot using a single deck. With unexpected twists and a breathtaking climax, this will be a highlight of the Masterclass.

Triumph in Continuity – After years of refinement, Woody presents his ideal Triumph routine, merging Dai Vernon’s classic with a powerful concept from Arturo de Ascanio. This routine exemplifies masterful construction and effect, and it’s the Triumph Woody performs in his professional shows.

The Poker Hand (Explanation) – Having witnessed the performance in Week One, now is your chance to learn this incredible effect, which utilizes only standard playing cards.
