At the last Magic Live! Randy Goodman came to my booth to show me a routine he regularly performs. Everyone who saw it wanted one, so I encouraged him to have some made.
It took a while, but they finally arrived. It is beautifully made and something you would be proud to perform with.
It is a version of the classic Tic Tac Toe routine conceived by Martin Gardner and popularized by Richard Osterlind. This version is self contained and has a sucker ending before the final reveal.
►Tic Tac PerfecToe:
What makes it special is that it is a beautifully made self-contained wooden box which houses the props and hides the double reveal.
The basic routine involves a game of Tic Tac Toe with an audience member where you each place a wooden Tic Tac Toe piece until the board is complete. Of course, the game will be a draw.
As you remove the pieces from the box, a piece of wood is seen at the bottom with the word prediction written on it. You then turn over the prediction and it says “DRAW.”
You now explain that the real prediction was on the box. You turn over the box and etched in the wood is the exact layout of the game you just played.

►Five Points In Magic:
The Five Points in Magic is Juan Tamariz’s highly regarded study of the physical and psychological secrets that use the body to fool the mind. He teaches magicians that it is not the hands alone that deceive, but also the feet, the body, the eyes and the voice. It is only through a full understanding of all five of these tools of nature and communication that the conjurer can spin a complete web of illusion that traps and then transports his audiences into the astonishing realm he has prepared for them.
Along with teaching you how to do better magic you will also learn his: Appearing Card on Handkerchief, Crossing the Gaze, Double Crossing the Gaze, The Ribbonspread Force, Al’s Topper (a book test), Protean Poker, Upper Cut, and much more.

For many years Meir Yedid has been opening his stage, parlor, and formal close-up shows with a series of three optical illusions/brain twisters where he explains how magic works. The premise is that we tell you the truth, but your brain lies to you.
The three optical illusions/brain twisters are the standard Word Skipping Illusion, Cornsweet Illusion, and Thatcher illusion, although they have been modified to optimize the live presentations and make them more interesting.
