5 A.M. (5 Amazing Miracles*) by Harapan Ong
1. Introduction – Some individuals seem to have all the luck
2. King’s Overture
5. Poker Player’s Picnic Plus
8. Dude! You’re Not Even Trying!
11. Sudden Surprise Sandwich (A trick I shared with Joshua Jay, who then presented it to Simon Aronson, and they both disliked it)
14. Countdown Packet
This is Harapan’s unique creation. The four fours are displayed, and one is set aside. The remaining three cards magically transform into threes, matching the count of the cards left. This process is repeated until only an ace remains. A true gem of a trick.
17. Finale – “Rules” of Creativity
A brief essay exploring creativity in the realm of magic.
