OVER 25 KILLER ROUTINES

Featuring:

The Gasp Card To Box!

The card to box that makes theatre crowds gasp! So much more than just a card to box. Impossible repeat, plus insane surprise at the end makes em go wild! Suitable for close up, parlour and stage. All the theatrical details, loads and subtleties are released for the first time.

The One Man Card in bottle

The card in bottle can link with the gasp card to box. A signed card, stapled twice, impossibly penetrates a sealed bottle of wine which is then given away as an impossible souvenir.

All the subtleties, all the convincers, finally explained! It penetrates into a previously shown empty sealed bottle. The audience member keeps the impossible gift, the signed card really is inside. This is one of the highlights of my Edinburgh show and KILLS a lay audience. This one trick has had me flown round the world in business class to foreign Royal audiences 4 times...

The Real Invisible Deck

Any card is named by a spectator.  The performer then fairly spreads the deck and it is the only card face down. To top it off, it is in the correct numerical and suit position in the deck!

The deck is 100% examinable and can be handed out to further stress the lack of gimmicks.

The spectator can even spread the cards himself.

Killer! This is a real lay person and magician fooler!  This routine is also marketed as a separate item by all the major magic dealers.

Flying Card At Any Number

As seen at the Magic Castle Hollywood.

A spectator names any card and another participant is asked to name a number. The chosen card is sprung into the deck at precisely the incorrect number! The performer has missed by 4 cards for example. The box on the table is opened and the prediction reads, I will miss by 4!

The idea of an out becoming the segue and gateway to the main event gives the opportunity for baffling entertainment to ensue. This was the stand out effect at The Magic Castle when I was last there - a real killer and genuine fooler...

“The reviews are in...  and the critics are unanimous in hyperbolic praise...  Chris Dugdale, the general of magicians, was a smash hit... Sensational... creates a magical, mystical, mind-bending mirage...  the showmanship of PT Barnum combined with the magical skill of David Copperfield and the wit of Jerry Seinfeld...  unique talent demands unique description...  he is an illusionary extraordinaire!”

Dual Reality Coins Across

Inspired by both Larry Jenning’s Peripatetic Coins and the genius who was the late and great Roy Johnson. One of the most visual and beautiful coins across you will ever see! Hugely tactile and very visual. The last coin appears to melt through the flesh of the spectator and he signals the precise moment it happens...thank you to the late Roy Johnson for his inspiration and genius here.

Lara -The Ultimate No Blink Triumph

A personal story adds credence to the incredible effect. A spectator names any card and a deck of cards is shown to be genuinely half face up, half face down and all mixed up… Under laboratory conditions and literally without blinking, all the cards turn the right way round. Then one card turns face down… the thought of card. The transformation looks like real magic... no funny or suspicious moves...

This one will get you booked time and time again. I will show you how to use this one routine to get booked for other events on the spot...

Ephemeral 

A freely thought of card is incorrectly predicted creating a left-field moment. Whilst the spectator holds the card at finger tips it transforms into the correct card. No double lift, no top change! A killer! Can be done close up or on stage. The switch is totally invisible and totally automatic and requires ZERO skill. You could do this tomorrow and fool EVERYONE!

Prementaliction

This fantastic opener starts with an audience member shouting out a number between 1-100. A wallet that has been in full view is then opened revealing a ticket case. The number in the ticket case is off by 3.  Then a huge envelope that was given away at the very start of the routine is opened to show that the performer had somehow predicted this ahead of time. A super clean, slick and fair looking impossible prediction.

From a technical perspective the performer is completely clean when removing the prediction from the ticket case.

PLUS MANY MANY MORE OUTSTANDING ROUTINES INCLUDING

Hallucination

The routine was the closer to the set that got Richard Branson jumping up and down and exclaiming that this was the best close up magic he had ever seen. NEVER EVER RELEASED OR TALKED ABOUT BEFORE. ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL PIECES OF CLOSE UP MAGIC EVER RELEASED FOR LAY PEOPLE. 

IMPORTANT Please note for the sake of transparency and honesty this does require a prop that is hard to come by nowadays. I am currently working on finding a new supplier. If you have one of the gizmos already you are golden, but if not, I am still including this routine for the sake of completion and in the hope that a new supply can be found.
