"Learn the snap deal from the real deal. Eric Tait's handling of this clever move is devastating. Eric Tait is a real triple-threat in magic. Amazing sleight of hand, extremely funny, and he has the best beard in magic." -John George "Erik Tait does card magic that I love. Why?

His ability to perform the snap deal and make it look effortless is proof!"- Chastain Crisswell "I count on Erik to teach me how to do the hard stuff. You should too."- Nick Locapo What will he teach? Marking Giobbi Extended- Two people take portions of the deck and deal down to random cards. Those cards make the value and the suit of a random card that the magician has dealt to. They are then swapped to create a new card and the magician's card changes to match. Grandfather's Criss Cross- An apparent mathematical mystery in which the magician uses the top card of the deck to always know the identity of a card randomly cut to by the audience. It's Not A Triumph It's A Transposition- Two people think of cards, and then the deck is shuffled face up into face down. The deck rights itself leaving one of the audience member's cards face up. It is placed aside and when the deck is spread again the card that was just placed aside is found face up back in the middle of the deck. The face down card on the table is discovered to have transformed into the other selection. This routine includes Erik's secret to selling "The Magician In Trouble Plot" and includes an easy to do but deceptive card switch. Faking The Middle- The magician tells the audience to legend of the center deal and then offers to show it to them. Ten cards are randomly distributed face up throughout the deck so the audience can see the moment the middle deal happens. The magician then successfully deals the ten face up cards from the deck at will. An amazing routine to make an average card handler look like a legend. A highlight in Erik's theater show. Mandella Effect- The magician describes the Mandella Effect, and how sometimes we can't remember reality correctly. After confirming that the deck is indeed in a random order it is revealed to have separated into red and black. The magician very obviously shuffles the deck, and still the colors remain separated. Finally to prove it's not him the audience shuffles the cards, and the cards still will not mix. The Snap Deal-Erik's work on the Snap Deal has been regarded by many top pros as incredible. Erik tips a lifetime of studying a move that he credits as the sole reason he studies card magic. Vanishing Deal- Erik details his touches to using the snap deal to vanish cards that have attracted him attention from all corners of the magic community. (Warning: When people watch Erik vanish a card they very often swear in surprise.) Snapped Across- A brand new way to do cards across with no palming. The Expanded Colour Deal- An expansion on a classic Lennart Green Snap Deal application with a surprise ending. Who is he?

S7 E28 • Shaun Dunn LIVE
"Shaun Dunn delivers a very crafted lecture, if you are looking for strong and powerful mentalism and yet selfworking look no further. I am sure you will use some of these gems."-Luis Carreon "Shaun's performances are always disarming and really fun. He's got great twists on some classic plots." -Cameron Francis "Shaun has a quirky laid-back style that runs through both his "in character" presentations and the methods that drive the effects- streamlined, uncomplicated methods and an interesting approach to building routines that leans towards the super-simple. The material is an interesting variety of self working card magic (including his commercially released 'Dunn's Deal' which is one of my favourite OOTW routines for it's immense simplicity) and classic mentalism, with a few impromptu handlings and stand-alone pieces included for good measure. The lecture covers a lot of ground, and Shaun explains his philosophy of magic and even takes time to make sure he credits the creators that influenced him (always a nice professional touch). Shaun's presentational style is loose and informal, but it sneakily conceals an array of ingenious well-honed material that you will enjoy learning and performing." -Phill Smith What will he teach? The following effects are all self working and very easy to do. Good enough to be presented by a professional but easy enough for a beginner to learn and perform. Booktest for a Dummy- Impromptu, easy and deceptive, no forces and it can be a borrowed book. Boob Eyes- Comedy direct mind reading routine where you can reveal anything. Inspired by Max Maven(Desire) Larry Becker(Sneak Thief) and Patrik Kuffs This is quirky, very deceptive and happens while the entire audience is watching. The Key To Friendship- A key bend for wimps. In other words this method is designed for those that don't want to palm anything and might a little scared of doing sleight of hand in front of an audience. Dunn's Deal- Not to be confused with DUNN DEAL, similar but different and can be done with a borrowed deck. White Light, White Heat, White Card- Mental magic with cards, you learn a thought of number, you predict a thought of card and end with a nice visual climax. Under The Table- Ridiculously easy way to know a thought of card. This fools people, it has test conditions and it is perfect for performing at the dinner table. Confronting Your Fears- This peek is so good, I have used this a lot especially when challenged. Instant Knockout- A sneak peek at the marketed effect by Matt Mello and myself. I take Matt's idea and make it practical for impromptu performances. Memory Routine- I teach a memory routine for stage, but I would say this has a different appearance than most memory demonstrations. Closing Effect- Two part mind reading effect. First a design duplication and then you reveal a thought of person. You learn an easy to make extremely useful gimmick that allows for a lot of strong mentalism reveals. Who is he? Shaun Dunn has been a major player in the magic industry for over 12 years. His creations have been featured in award winning books as well as part of of the monumental True Astonishment series.

The Wild, Wonder Girl- A silly smash-up of circus sideshow and psychic sensation. A feral human female, raised by rabid squirrels, has been trained to identify animal crackers by sound and smell.
