Magic Tricks

A fun miracle where presentation, scripting, and timing can make all the difference. While I’ve not seen the “original” apparently presented in the Juan Tamariz Masterclass ... this trick, when properly presented, is an audience-pleaser.

My preferred method lately is small group in-person presentation; it can even be performed for an audience of one, using only one deck, showing how the miracle takes place in their own hands! (I’ve gotten great responses when using this in the middle of an ambitious cars routine.)

Pro: happens in the audience’s hand(s)
Cons: if not presented well, method can be obvious when the audience “rewinds” the presentation later

Tips - Take the time to work on script and presentation; rushing through can diminish the amazement factor. Add a pause or two to “recap” what’s happened so far - with minor embellishments or omissions to influence audience recollection. Much like any hands-on effect, good audience management and/or time misdirection can elevate this from good to great.
