PK-Touch On The Classics:
- Inflict: (Sandwich Plot) - A VISUAL color changing sandwich routine than can be done with many different presentations.
- PK Collectors: (Collectors Plot) - A selected card is found in between four of a kind within a split second!
- DIY Aces: (Gambling Plot) - A simplified version on the Spectator Cuts the Aces plot. Very straight forward and EASY TO DO!
- Carboné: (Mystery Card Plot) - A utility move that allows you to switch the mystery card very openly and fair!
- VOW: (Anniversary Waltz Plot/Basic Version) - A Basic version of the Anniversary Waltz plot. Very simple and direct! Jaws drop for Patrick's version!
- Vector: (Impromptu Haunted Deck) - Very visual and by the way, it's totally impromptu!
- Surge: (Impromptu Card Rise) - Impromptu card rise that can be performed with any card box. No gimmicks! Everything is completely examinable! Can also be used as a very visual color change!
- Mirror Force: Looking similar to the classic force, except the card is controlled to the bottom of the deck. This force can also conceal the back of a playing card.
- 4 Card Production: This is a flashy and flourish way of producing four of a kind!

I love Patrick’s Style. Everything he does looks impossible and he always surprises me with his the simplicity of his magic. This lecture is a great place to go if you would like to learn some of the magic on his most popular downloads, with a couple tricks on his DVD Patrified.
Extortion (Performance Only): A bill is given to a spectator and one of another denomination is held by the magician. With a small shake the bill is held at the fingertips and changes into the spectators bill. This is outstanding and is available at Sans Minds Magic for purchase.
Inflict: A card is selected and lost in the deck. A joker is sandwiched in between 2 kings and it visually changes into the selection. The Joker is then revealed to be reversed in the deck. This handling is closer to the handling taught on his Wire download at Theory11. It differs a little from thee handling taught on Patrified. This effect is very visual and much easier than I expected it to be although it still is tough.
DIY Aces: The spectator cuts the deck four times and finds the aces. This is probably the easiest trick that he performs. This is taught on Patrified as well but he gives a slight modification that helps make the trick a bit more dramatic. It is just as easy as the original but it does require a second more of preparation.
Collectors: The four aces are used to find 3 selected cards. The aces vanish visually from the top of the deck and pop out of the middle with the selections. This is an unpublished routine and I love it! A version is taught for 1 and 3 spectators. The control that he uses is very difficult and the productions are not self working but I was pleasantly surprised with the difficulty of it.
Thumbshot: Patrick shares a method to shoot a single card out of the deck. He insists it is an old move but Patrick does it as well as anyone out there.
Ice Shot: Created by the little known magician Valdemar Gesture, Patrick shows you how to shoot multiple cards out of the middle of the deck.
Birthday Card Trick: The magician writes “Happy Birthday” on a playing card. A card is then selected and signed. Magically the selected card becomes the birthday card. This is Patrick’s take on the mystery card plot. You will learn a small variation on his Mirror Force here which isn’t terribly difficult in practice but in this routine it gets fairly difficult.
Reflex: This is the full ring routine taught on Patrick’s download at Theory11.com. A ring slowly penetrates the magician’s finger over and over and over again. This is a very strong effect, and it looks so good in Patrick’s hands.
Vector: This is an impromptu haunted pack. The deck slowly cuts itself and then the selected card pops out. This has some funny angle considerations, Patrick prefers to perform it on the ground. There are various pieces of this that get difficult but the trade of of performing a haunted pack with a borrowed deck may be worth the sacrifice of time.
Paul Harris Pop Out Move: Patrick has tons of work on this and he jams a bit here showing its various applications. One of my favorite pieces was superhero themed. He dribbles the deck and seems to blow the selected card out of the deck.
Vow (Performance Only): Patrick has a new DVD coming out with a few versions of the anniversary waltz. Patrick is always innovative in his approach to the classics. Here 2 signed cards cleanly fuze together.
Mirror Force: I love this move, it is a switch, control and force all together in one move. This is very versatile and if you put in the small amount of practice that you need to master it you will have a great piece of magic.
Morph (Performance): 4 cards are selected and they all change into the aces visually. This is available on Patrified as well.
Tilt Subtlety: This is a nice way to make the spectator feel like they push the card in when you are actually performing the tilt.
I love Patrick’s magic. It really feels like it is gimmicked magic but for the most part it is all performed with a perfectly normal deck. This is a great one stop shop for some of Patrick’s best downloads.

I had a lot of fun watching this lecture and if you have seen the Patrified DVD and liked the material on it, you will too!
A lot of the stuff that Patrick teaches here is similar to the work on his DVD in that it is not necessarily hard to do, but some will require a knack to do.
Patrick is a great teacher and leaves nothing out of his instruction. He does add a twist or two to some of the effects from the DVD but most of what is here is not on the DVD. He opens with an absolutely stunning bill change (which was not released yet at the time that this lecture went LIVE but has since been released).
If you like "flashier" magic you will also enjoy some of the work here; by "flashier" I do not mean XCM-type stuff, but there are some cool flourish-type things he teaches as a way to make certain parts of effects "pop".
As always, Mike Hankins does a great job of hosting, interacting with both Patrick and the viewers and asking all the right questions.
Even if you have never seen Patrick or any of his products before, you will likely find something useful in this lecture.
Very highly recommended!
