Ephemera by Dennis Kim

TRICKS

• PORTRAIT OF ESCHER – Dennis’ favorite trick to perform. By concentrating on a freely selected card, all other card faces vanish. Then, the card they thought they saw is the ONLY blank card in the deck.

• EPHEMERA – A Blackjack pair vanishes completely, but before your spectators mind can accept it as fact, they instantly arrive back in your hands. A ‘WTF’ moment.

• SILK ROAD – This gets the #1 spot for us and is worth the price of admission. A 4-to-1 transposition that’s 100% dirty and ludicrously bold but looks SOOO good. Instant must-learn.

• PARTING – Calling all move monkeys. Oh, there you are… Parting (as seen in the trailer) is a double sandwich routine that moonlights as a 4 card location effect. Get out the band-aids. Your fingers are gonna hurt after this.

SLEIGHTS

• DPS – The diagonal palm shift is one of the most useful and under-utilized steals in magic. Dennis teaches you a way to pull it off invisibly. Without obvious finger movements.

• JECHT LIFT – Okay, we’ll be honest. We thought this was a single card flourish when we saw it. Are you fooled too? Dennis teaches you this perfect double turnover where the cards stick together like glue.

• KNUCKLE PALM – A variation on the Erdnase palm technique that uses no breaks and no get-ready to flawlessly palm a card from the bottom of the deck.

• VERNON TRANSFER – Switch 4 cards for 4 cards whilst turning the deck over. Dennis’ take on Vernon’s famous transfer is almost like an optical illusion. The motion and move are dance partners.
