What Will He Teach?

Double Cheeseburger: A captivating sandwich effect where a blue card magically appears between two red cards that have been thoroughly examined. In a stunning double kicker ending, the blue card matches the selected red card, which then transforms from blue to red, revealing it as the chosen card, not a duplicate. This can even be signed.

Bounce, Doh-Bounce: A playful twist on the Bounce, No Bounce effect, utilizing Play-Doh. While Play-Doh typically doesn’t bounce, magic makes it possible!

Gou-Doh: Watch as a ball of Play-Doh transforms into an edible cheese wheel. After all, Play-Doh is “fun to play with but not to eat,” so why not turn it into something delicious?

CrypTIC: An empty Tic-Tac box rattles as if filled, and when opened, you can pour out actual Tic-Tacs. No rattle box or matches are needed, and sleeves can be rolled up for examination.

Solution: A drink prediction effect where a random beverage is chosen from a selection. Your prediction appears incorrect until the can is opened, revealing the selected drink inside.

iFocus: You create the illusion of a spectator’s iPhone screen going out of focus, then with a snap, it returns to clarity. This effect mirrors the gaff card effect but is performed on a spectator’s device.

Tele/Path: Predict the last four digits of a random phone number generated by your audience, showcasing your mentalism skills.

Hotbox: A selected card is lost in the deck, which is then placed back in the box held by a spectator. They feel the box heat up mysteriously, and when the cards are revealed, the selected card appears burnt.

DIVE: A borrowed object (coin, ring, or key) is tossed into a sealed bag with no visible openings. The gimmick is cleverly concealed in plain sight.
