"The Friendship Game” is an interactive experience that stands alone and far above mere card tricks. Dr. Hass takes a basic principal and turns it into a memorable miracle. So many nuanced touches make for a routine that is easy for participants to follow yet impossible to fathom. It is a miracle of simplicity. True magic!" - Ross Johnson

Larry Hass is the dean of the McBride Mystery School, and a specialist in applying deep psychology and scripting techniques to make his magic seriously fooling. His borrowed card stunners series updates classic card magic that can be performed at a moment's notice with a borrowed shuffled deck. This is Larry’s go to closer when he’s performed for heads of state and corporate clients. This is Friendship Game.

Here’s what happens:

From a shuffled deck the performer takes out two prediction cards and lays them openly on the table. The deck is then handed to a spectator who decides how many cards from the deck we should use. Those cards are given to the second spectator who divides them into two piles. The top cards of those piles perfectly match the prediction cards.

Larry has taken the structure of a wonderful Johnny Thompson trick requiring no sleight of hand, and added a compelling presentation about friendship, as well as some excellent psychological convincers to self working principles that you will be able to apply to the rest of your magic. This is a trick that involves multiple spectators, and gets great reactions, while being practically self working. Learn from the dean of the McBride Mystery School how you and your audience can play The Friendship Game.

Mr Has only performs real card magic that happens to be self working. I discovered his work here at Penguin with his version of OOTW. Based on the reaction I receive from performing his OOTW, I placed that effect in my top 5 SW card magic effects. While I have yet to perform The Friendship Game, I am confident it will take first or second place in my self working card magic repertoire. Larry Hass' skill as an instructor is second only to his skill as a magician. The video and audio is first class during his instruction. Every detail is covered to my satisfaction. The 2 Penguin downloads from Larry Hass that I have are perfect for my performance style. Don't care much for card slight of hand magic, but highly recommend The Friendship Game to all who have or have not mastered a variety of card slights.

Very nicely done! Report this review

I was skeptical at first after viewing the trailer video. The procedure is similar to the Predixion effect which I have purchased here and have enjoyed. What I saw in the trailer here seemed impossible in some cases, because I know how the other one works.
Well, after having purchased The Friendship Game, I am thrilled with the clever enhancements that Larry Hass has added to this that make it appear even more impossible!
And it is great because it is a no set-up and no sleight effect that is easy to do yet it can be stunning to see.
And it does not require the 2nd prepared deck that Predixion does.
However, I am not knocking Predixion. I have had a lot of fun with it.

Try it with an Uno deck! Report this review

This is a very good effect, very quick to learn, and simple to perform. I don't find it as strong as others in Larry's series, so I don't perform it very often. Under the proper circumstances and with the right participants, though, it works like a charm.

There was one time when the only deck of cards nearby was an Uno deck, and I actuality think it made the effect stronger because I could pull out exact duplicates of the cards my helpers would select. The only ones you'll have to fudge are the zeroes since there is only one zero of each color in the deck.

Excellent download. Larry Hass explains in detail not just how do to do the trick but gives helpful tips on presentation. Only have done it once for two friends and got a "Wow, that's good." response. I'll be doing it a lot for others now. Glad I bought this Penguin Magic trick.

Very easy to perform. Once I learned the method, I kicked myself for not having figured it out. Well taught.

Larry est , comme à son habitude, très pédagogue. Il nous explique une formidable routine que l'on s'imagine à jouer entouré d'une famille lors d'un mariage, ou seul avec un couple d'amoureux. Tout y est expliqué en détail et notamment l'approche psychologique de toutes les phases.
Un bonheur à présenter.
Merci Larry. Je cours acheter vos autres vidéos sur Penguin

Great trick. Easy to perform and really hard to work back. Tricks with regular borrowed decks are the best

I have changed over to mostly mentalism from other stiles of Magic because I play to older adults. This bit is really good for taking up time and giving a strong peace of Magic.My number one reason I do mentalism is 1. I’m older and not a suave locking magician for Dove work or box tricks. 2. I’m getting lazy and like to pack small and play the stage or parlor room. This is one of the best bits out there.
