One of the routines I sold out of at Magic Live! was Sam Sléibhín’s Neutrino. I really enjoyed fooling people with it and then explaining how it worked, because the method was ingenious. And it is all self-working!
Along the way I came up with some handling ideas that I am sharing in a bonus download that will be included with every purchase. Take a look at the trailer: HERE
If you purchased one of these from me at Magic Live! please email me and I will send you a link to my bonus introductory tutorial.
The conflicting and interesting comments I received while performing this in Vegas came from two different groups. The average magician wanted to know why it is so expensive while the machinists, builders, and manufacturers wanted to know why it is so cheap! Both groups liked it and were fooled, otherwise they would not have hung around and had a conversation about it.
Also, this can’t really be compared to the now classic needle through matchbox and similar effects because in all those versions a puzzle was created since the initial effect was not magical, pushing a pin through a paper box is something anyone can do. Of course, the ending where a solid block was dumped out was a surprise, there was no magical moment, just a laugh or reaction at the surprise. In this case everyone understands what the effect is, and its impossibility since they helped build the solid block.
►Neutrino:
A Precision Penetration Puzzle that is made of stainless steel. Self-working and can be done surrounded.
You begin with a twelve-piece puzzle that is made of heavy half-inch, stainless-steel pieces. You and your friend assemble the pieces into a solid, impenetrable block that is around the size of a deck of cards.
The block is slid into an examinable heavy-plastic case that has a slit running through it. You then insert a playing card right through the slit and the stainless-steel block that was just built. The card is moved around and even inserted lengthwise! Once your friend removes the card from the block the puzzle is removed from its case and all the pieces are separated showing the impossibility that was just created.
This is the first time the block that is being penetrated, is shown at the beginning, so the magic becomes clear.

Wanted to remind you that the introductory price of Michael Rubinstein’s surprising Spellbound download expires on Friday.
►Triple EG Spell:
This is a beautiful, surprising, visual, and quick triple spellbound sequence.
You begin showing a Half Dollar, it visually changes into an English penny and instantly changes into a Chinese coin which you can immediately hand out for examination or as a souvenir.
Uses three regular coins (as long as they are the same size) and two sleights. Sleights used are the Curl Palm and the Edge Grip. Ideal position for the audience will be in front of you.

►BACK IN STOCK:
Many people asked me to get more of these, so I contacted Astor to bring some with him from Hungary to Las Vegas. The red backed ones sold out already, but I do have a few blue backed sets left.
►A Cheater’s Dream:
This is Astor’s take on Martin Lewis’ Magician’s Poker routine which is a multi-phase gambling demonstration which combines clever routining with a kicker ending featuring a McDonalds Aces sequence using a Royal Flush.
It begins with a group of 25 cards that are mixed face up and face down. When the cards are dealt into five poker hands the Royal Flush cards are not only the only face up cards, but they are also dealt to your hand.
The Royal Flush cards are then cut into the middle of the pile and five poker hands are dealt. This time in each poker hand land there is a face up Royal Flush card.
For the kicker ending each of the four Royal Flush cards, not dealt to your hand, vanish from their packets and when you turn over your Poker Hand you show the Royal Flush.

►MY MAGIC’S LATEST RELEASE:
►Sword Illusion ProCase:
The Magic Sword Illusion is arguably one of the best and most deceptive illusions in magic. It creates an impossible illusion of a knife repeatedly penetrating through a toothpick or any such object. It is truly a mind-boggling illusion that seems impossible even after you know how it works.
The idea was to create a case for it, so it looks less like a toy and more like an interesting oddity. The Sword Illusion ProCase is a custom-made black case made of strong plastic that has a rough texture. It comes complete with a Sword Illusion already embedded so it can be performed immediately.

“The essential ingredient of successful magic is simplicity. Bear in mind that anything you do must be neatly executed and appear important! It is my contention that all tricks should be presented in the most direct and simple manner possible.”
