Effect:
Stepping Stones - A baffling three-phased sequence of productions and transformations with 'thought of' cards. This in-the-hands gem was specifically designed for maximum impact in the real world while making it appear that you can predict someone's thoughts and effortlessly manipulate their perceptions.
Slow Roll - A truly impossible card location in which the spectator genuinely shuffles the deck, freely selects a card, freely returns the card and genuinely shuffles the deck again... yet the card can be found in any way the performer wishes. This is a beautiful disguise for an ancient principle... and will baffle anyone who sees it.
M-Theory - A hyper-surreal handling of the Ambitious Card in which a selection and a signature repeatedly appear and disappear at different moments in time and space. This routine leaves the spectator with an 'impossible object' as a keepsake and will inspire a new appreciation for this classic effect.
