In this video you will learn the secret on how to restore a paper napkin. We will add the written explanation and the photos soon.
Hope you like it.

I have already written 80 pages and plan to make videos that show you how to use the techniques that are explained in this book.

I want to thank you for your comments you left on my last blog post.

Many of you want to learn tricks that can be done with borrowed objects any time anywhere.

This is called impromptu magic and I personally think it’s the best because, wherever you can, borrow objects from the audience like coins, pencils, napkins keys etc it seems like the magician hasn’t had time to do anything sneaky to the item and this makes everything more magical!

Many of you also wanted to learn cool mindreading tricks that are perfect to impress girls.

I plan to make videos that answer questions you might have about pick-up magic.

To make the videos perfect I would like you to answer the following question:

What is your biggest problem when approaching a girl?

Don’t you know what to talk about? Don’t you know how to start a conversation? Or are you shy?

Just tell me what you want to know and I will make videos covering all of your questions.

Anyway I will write the last couple of chapters of my book and print them so I can ship them to you very soon. (for free!)

I can’t tell you the exact release date yet, but it won’t be long.

Best regards,

Dario James

I plan to sell my book for around $47 but you can get it absolutely free if you tell me what you would like to learn.

I will contact you as soon as it’s finished.

Best regards,
Dario James

You can use false transfers for making things disappear and reappear.

Hold the coin in your right hand, at the end of your fingertips.

Open your left hand, with the palm up, ready for the coin transfer. You then close your fingers around the coin, as you approach your left hand, making it look like the coin has been deposited into the left one.

Close the fingers of the left hand, as if the coin is resting there.

Even if you are a member and try to login it still won’t work.

The reason for us closing the doors is simple: we are redeveloping the site!

We are launching SharkMagic 2.0 very soon, with many new features and enhancements, and it needs a few days to build the new member’s area.

The content for free members won’t be available in SharkMagic 2.0, however, we will post all of it to this blog.

I recommend that you subscribe to our blog and/ or join my Facebook group so you get notified when we add new video tutorials and know when SharkMagic 2.0 is launched:

David Blaine has made this trick very popular. He shows the spectator a card, the King of Spades. He places it, face down, into the spectator’s hand, and asks the person to sandwich the card between both hands.

He then shows the next card, the Queen of Hearts and rubs it face down over the sandwiched card, but when he turns it over, the audience are amazed to see that the card is now the King of Spades. The sandwiched card is then revealed to be the Queen of Hearts. The cards miraculously switched places.

Step One

The setup is very simple as you just need to prepare 2 of the same cards. The cards used in my demonstration are the King of Spades and Queen of Hearts, abbreviated to KS and QH, respectively.

On the top of the deck, the top three cards should go: QH, KS, QH. It does not matter about the order of the rest of the deck as only the first three are used.

Step Two

Ask the spectator to extend their hand. At the same time perform a DOUBLE LIFT with the top two cards. The spectator will be looking at the KS, but you will actually be holding the KS and QH behind it.

Step Three

Ask the spectator to name the card being displayed by you. When named, turn double over again so that the cards are face down with the QH on top of the deck. Then just place the top card onto the spectator’s outstretched hand.

It will be assumed that you placed the KS onto the outstretched hand, when it was actually the QH.
