Unholey

A Practical & Magical Hole-Moving Miracle

Collin has taken one of close-up magic’s great plots and reworked and refined it over fifteen years of performance.

Imagine being able to take a spectator’s signed playing card, punch some holes in it and then openly move them around the card. The spectator can even feel both sides of the hole after it’s moved.

Unholey is Collin’s signature effect.  This single piece of magic has earned him more re-bookings than anything else he performs. And with just a little practice, it can do the same for you.  Check out the trailer to see how.

The perfect balance of magicality and practicality, Unholey is one of those rare effects which is …

  • Jaw-droppingly visual.
  • Inexpensive.
  • Easy to perform – there are NO complicated sleights.
  • And it resets instantly.
  • Plus, the card becomes an impossible souvenir displaying YOUR details. It’s a magical business card.

Strip Shuffles & Running Cuts Box Set

Plus FREE Strip Cut Tutorial

When handling cards, you need to look the part. The strip shuffle has the elegance and style that you see in the movies. It’s more deceptive and easier to perform than a riffle shuffle and opens the door to many sleights.
This box set is perfect for beginner and those with an intermediate level of skill. As well as teaching you the basic strip shuffle, we’ve also included the following methods:
  • Stock control to keep your aces on top or bottom of the deck.
  • Two amazing Full deck controls, including the very deceptive up-the-ladder cut which will preserve any stack.
  • The elegant, totally false Vernon strip cut…
And as a bonus we’ve also included an in-depth look at the push-through shuffle and how to incorporate it with the up-the-ladder cut.
Plus, check out our Free Strip Shuffle Tutorial
If you’re interested in performing gambling effects with an authentic look, then this is the perfect box set for you.

THINK YOU KNOW IT? THINK AGAIN!

Learn seven variations of card magic’s most versatile move, the Hindu Shuffle.

JW Grip

An Instant Vanish And Appearance Of A Coin

The JW Grip is The Alchemy Tree’s first coin tutorial and it’s a lightning fast vanish and production from an open hand.  It looks stunning!

The good news is that it’s NOT a knuckle-buster and it’s achievable in no time … even by a beginner. It’s the perfect opening to any coin routine and your audience will credit you with far more skill than it takes to learn the move.

As with all Alchemy Tree Tutorials, the JW Grip is taught in depth and with total precision.  There’s no unnecessary waffle, just the important points that make this sleight look like real magic.
