Let the kings do the work for you
Did you know that the modern idea of the sandwich was invented by
John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich*? Given its long ties to
nobility, it's no surprise that the best sandwich effect we've ever seen involves 2 kings.
Check out Mariano Goñi's and Adrian Vega's brand new effect: Progressive Kings.
Progressive Kings is a beginner-friendly, professional-approved effect where you find a spectator's freely selected card with the help of the two black kings.
First you remove the kings from a normal deck of cards. Then, give a member of the audience a chance to choose a card. No forcing necessary! The card is lost back in the pack, and each king is placed towards the end of the deck.
Now, after a quick cut and complete, you show that the two kings have
moved closer to each other in the deck. What was once an ocean of
cards, has dried to a small river. One last move, and the rive shrinks
to a puddle, as only one card separates the kings.
And, as luck would have it, that one card is revealed to be the spectator's chosen card!
You can relax while performing Progressive Kings, because the gimmicks do all the hard work! Speaking of which, you'll receive two sets of gimmicks (red and blue bicycle backed designs).
Progressive Kings features an instant reset, making this the perfect effect for table hopping.

Experience the Most Powerful Drawing Duplication System!
Perfection takes time
More than any other type of magic, digital effects have to justify
their existence. While an audience member might be unfamiliar with how
small a sponge ball can get, they are very familiar with a smartphone's
capabilities. That's why we haven't released an app in two years! We've
been waiting for one to come along that really blew our minds. NOT.ESP by Jake Keane, now that's the real deal.
NOT.ESP is a drawing duplication system disguised as a notes app, and it is the most powerful version of this effect we have ever seen (digital or not).
Take out your phone and open the notes app. You use this virtual
canvas to draw your prediction. Put your phone down and instruct your
spectator to take out their own phone. Tell them that you are going to
mentally transmit the image that you drew. They finish their drawing,
and you instruct them to turn your phone over. The two drawings are a perfect match.
Now that's a great trick, but if I saw it performed, I would assume
that the spectator's drawing was transmitted over Bluetooth. So what if I told you that they don't even have to use a phone? You could do the exact same effect, but have them draw in mid-air with their finger.
It's at that point that it no longer feels like a magic app, but
rather a magic trick that uses an app as a prop. We have to agree with Mark Elsdon when he said it "was the best app available at Blackpool."
NOT.ESP
is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. It requires no
internet connection, works in any language, and even comes with an
entirely different app that doubles the amount of magic you can
perform.

From Fool Us to The Magic Castle to Your Act
Perform this slam-dunk of a stage effect today
This trick combines a time-tested principle of mentalism
with the time-honored tradition of balling up a piece of paper and
throwing three-pointers into the trashcan. And no, you didn't misread
that.
Let me introduce you to Killer Blank Prediction by Adrian Vega.
Start with three crumpled paper balls. One by one, you throw them
into your audience. Each lucky spectator that catches one gets to make a
choice. Value (4), color (red), and suit (diamonds). Together, they make a unique playing card.
The last choice--between a red deck and blue deck--ends with you
dramatically crushing the one that wasn't selected. You remove a blank
deck from whichever tuck isn't destroyed, and you reveal that only one card is not blank. It's the 4 of Diamonds!
As if that weren't a big enough finale, you ask each spectator to
open up the paper ball they've been handed, showing that the first piece
of paper was marked with a "4", the second says "of", and finally the third says "diamonds."
Killer Blank Prediction is the ultimate stage or parlor effect. It's easy to perform, requiring no complicated sleights or moves, and it draws amazing reactions. Just ask Penn Jillette who said "This is a great trick, it is really a great trick" or Teller who said "..."
