The ultimate showcase of mind-reading with playing cards, featuring two thought-of cards revealed in astonishing ways.

“Leo Reed is a Modernist Chef of magic principles who has skillfully blended a select group of time-tested ingredients to create a recipe for deception that will delight you. Divine and Conquer is a great piece of magic.” – Michael Weber

“I can vouch for the effectiveness of Divine and Conquer because I have been performing my own version of this plot for years. I was about to tell Leo Reed he was late to the party when I read his original method, and was tickled to discover he had a different take, coming at the idea from a completely different direction, and had arrived at his own solution that is as direct as it is deceptive. Solid work from a solid guy.” — Eric Mead

Divine & Conquer is a direct and impactful demonstration of mind reading using a deck of cards. Two spectators merely think of cards from a spread, yet the magician can accurately name one and produce the other without any sleight of hand. Here’s how it works:

A deck of cards is spread openly between the magician’s hands. Two spectators each think of different cards, which remain in their minds. The deck is placed on the table, and the magician reveals the identity of one card while the other spectator searches for theirs. To their astonishment, their card has vanished completely, leaving only 51 cards in the deck. The magician then unveils that the second thought-of card has magically appeared in their pocket.

Divine & Conquer is a powerful effect that requires no sleight of hand. You will receive a specially designed deck that does all the work, along with an instructional video by Nick Locapo detailing the performance. The cards can vary in each performance, making this effect ideal for both close-up and stage magicians who wish to captivate their audiences repeatedly. Leave your spectators in awe as you perform more than just magic—experience the wonder of Divine & Conquer by Leo Reed.
