“What trick would fool the Magic Circle but could also be performed by a 10-year-old?”

Dear friend,

TRUE STORY:

Almost a year ago we were sent an email by one of our clients that read something like this:

“My ten-year-old son needs a trick that’s easy to perform but will get impress the magicians in our local IBM ring. What do you recommend?”

Together we created the following criteria for the effect:

* It needed to be an extremely obscure method (that even lifelong magicians wouldn’t be aware of!)
* It needed to be easy (so easy a ten-year-old could perfect it!)
* It needed to be impactful (if he was going to get into the magic circle, it couldn’t be with a garbage-stolen YouTube effect!)
* It needed to be unique (magicians love to see something they’ve never seen before)

Which led us to this…


Shaken not stirred…

The FORBIDDEN magic trick from Howard Thurston.

Honestly, we’re probably one of the only 200 people in the last century to even read about this trick.

Even if you found it (which is incredibly unlikely as it’s crazy obscure) you’d probably have glossed over it considering the name…

See by today's standards the name seems a little…well…let’s just say we wouldn’t post it on Facebook.

Meaning the method for this trick has been well and truly buried in a $0.25 pamphlet Thurston used to sell after his 19th century performances.

It doesn’t get much more secret than that.

Yet, this method is INCREDIBLY easy and crazy powerful.

As you might have guessed, when one of our readers reached out asking how his child could fool their local IBM ring, this was the trick we recommended.

So what does it look like? 

* This trick requires little to no sleight of hand.
* Can be performed using a borrowed deck.
* Can be learned in minutes.
* We think it works well for stage, close up, and walk around.

We genuinely can’t wait to get this method out there - its been hiding in for far too long.

Here's what a few of our customers had to say about this effect: 

"Excellent tutorial. Very clearly explained, including all the important nuances. Very fairly priced. As usual, outstanding work on putting this together - You guys are awesome!" - Darryl Brooks

"Thank you guys for pulling an oldie out of the archives, I had never seen this before and I really like it. I will definitely use this." - Blair

"This. This is what The Daily Magician does best. This is why I've been an Inner Circle member for as long as I have. This is why I continue to support them. They take an old principle that, let's be honest, I don't have the time to discover by pouring over old magic books. Then they fool with it, craft an AMAZING routine and release it for a super reasonable price. OH! and if you don't like it, they'll give you a refund? Seriously!? Also, you WILL like it. So amazing. A real miracle." - Jim Taone

"I was expecting the unexpected and wasn't disappointed! The method is ingeniously simple, I can't wait to try it in front of an audience!" - Florian Samain

"Shaken not Stirred is great trick. Its exactly as they billed it, easy enough for a 10 year old but will fool adults. I can't wait to try it out!" - Charles Crumpton

"It was great! The trick is so simple and yet extrememly effective. Sometimes you see an impossible trick and get nervous for the reveal because it disappoints, but this one was perfect. Clever and good enough, yet not ridiculously complicated." - TH

"For me as a novice magician this is a truly delightful deception, and so easy to do with nothing much to remember, it does it itself really...brilliant." - Hugh

But, if Thurston’s trickery plus our modernizations aren’t something you enjoy as always we’re happy to offer a 100% lifetime refund guarantee.

That means you could perform this trick for years, become famous because of it, create your own show based all around it, and still, if you start thinking to yourself I don’t really like the method, you’ll have your money back before you can shout “bag!”

In fact, here’s what one of our customers recently had to say about our refund policy…

“When I decided a certain trick was not really for me, I was immediately offered a refund with no questions asked. So ordering is risk free, which gives clients absolute confidence when ordering.” - Trevor

There are, of course, a few limits to our refund policy. For instance, customers have asked us for a refund so they can buy the pirated version of our product at a lower cost - we think you can see why we'd reject that. Full details about our refund policy are here.

(We've rejected maybe 5 refunds in all our time doing business.)

This is a limited-time offer.
