Learn Powerful Visual Magic

John is absolutely delightful to watch, and shares his methods and techniques in excellent detail. Through Handle With Carey, you can easily build upon basic sleight of hand skills, and perform the routines John teaches.

Counting On You: A card at any number routine. A spectator selects a card and puts it back in the deck. Another spectator chooses a number between 10 and 20. You quickly cut the deck to that exact number of cards. The cards are counted by the spectator, proving you cut to the exact number of cards chosen. The last card counted is the first spectator's selected card.

GYS Coin: John's strolling opener, where one coin vanishes and reappears, and then turns into a jumbo coin.

Simple Fusion: An impromptu signature fusion effect that can be done any time, with a borrowed deck if you like. Your friend or spectator signs one card and you, or another person, signs a different card. Both signatures end up on one card.

BTB: no nonsense, practical working method for a bill to impossible location. A signed bill disappears from your hands and ends up in a sealed container that has been on the table through the entire routine.

Geminidetector: A spectator peeks at a card which is lost in the deck. You ask three questions, about the card, and based upon the spectator’s answers, on the back of your business card, you jot down what you think is the spectator’s card. The spectator then deals the cards and chooses when to stop, which is where you place your business card. When the business card is turned over, it reveals that you wrote down the card the spectator peeked at. Additionally, the card the spectator stopped counting at is the selected card. This effect gets your business card into the hands of your spectator.

3 Chances: An impromptu approach to the classic rising card. You take three stabs at guessing the spectator’s selected card. On your third attempt, the spectator’s card rises from the deck, with the help of the two incorrectly guessed cards.

1 Deck Do As I Do: Makes the spectator the star, as they find your selected card, and you find theirs. Easy, practical card magic.

Searching For A Sandwich: This is John's take on the sandwich plot, inspired by Larry Jennings and Armando Lucero. Jokers magically move through the deck toward the spectator’s card, until they sandwich it.

WTF Pocket Interchange: 3 signed selections placed inside the pockets transpose instantly with 4 aces, no palming.

Speccy Magician: Make the spectator the star, as they make your thought of card vanish.

Sticking Up For Larry: A simple, direct card to a chosen number, inspired by Larry Jennings. This effect is totally impromptu, and is a great stand-alone effect, or one that can be added to your ambitious card routine. The selected card is buried in the deck, and rises to your spectators chosen number.
