I feel like Jeff Prace is going to be the next Joshua Jay. He is a young guy with a creative mind and a great filter for good magic. I can see myself using almost every effect he taught which is quite the accomplishment. Let’s get into the details.
First is a performance of a new effect. A card is selected and the numbers on a credit card rearrange themselves to form the selected cards name. This will be released with the gimmicks hopefully before Christmas through Kozmo magic.
Pr-Aces: This is a very visual flash production of the aces and it is fairly easy to perform. He gives 3 main handlings, the first is from a borrowed deck. He explains how to set it up in full view of the spectators. In the other two handlings he shows how to make the backs change color.
Where Time Stands Still: 3 cards are selected using a watch gift card. The cards then perfectly match the time on the watch. He gives a handful of ways to have the card selected including a sleightless gimmicked handling, one that takes some set up and a nearly impromptu version. This is neat revelation even if the method isn’t completely original.
The Contest: A hand full of spectators take a packet of cards. They shuffle it up as does the magician. Everyone shows their selected card and they have produced a four of a kind. This is a wonderful adaptation of a trick in Royal Road to card magic. It was updated by Tom Dobrowolski and taught with his permission. This really feels like the type of trick Dani Daortiz would think up. I have used it already and it is quite surprising even if you are familiar with the method in Royal Road.
No More Card Tricks: This is one of Jeff’s signature effects and is a nice version of Paul Harris’ solid deception. Multiple cards are placed in the deck and with a toss it is completely enveloped by black tape. This is a ton of fun and I see it as a very visual, deceptive version of solid deception. I’ve built my own gimmick for this and used it a few times with great results.
Strawsome: Some soda is sucked up through a clear straw and changes instantly in color. You can make it look like you are drinking Coke all night and when you’d like you can change it into orange soda or just about whatever you’d like. This is an extremely situational effect but I followed his instructions to the T and fooled my wife while we were eating out. You pretty much need to be near a soda fountain to set it up how he says but I imagine you could set it up at home as well with a little creativity.
The last section was all techno magic using cell phones, mp3 players and ear buds. Jeff has become very well known for his contribution to genre and currently writes a column in the Linking Ring all about tech magic. So this guy has a lot to offer on the subject.
Short Circuit: With split you can move sound from one headphone to another. Jeff presents this saying that his earbuds are broken and in his attempt to fix them he causes the sound to travel from one side to the other. He then causes the sound to fill both headphones. This is a very interesting concept and an odd experience for the spectator. Following Jeff’s instructions I was able to make my own version and performed this a few times with great reactions. As a note this takes a fair bit of one time preparation with any MP3 or CD player but once you are set up you can use a borrowed set of headphones.
Earfun: A headphone suspends itself in the air at the magician’s fingertips. With a snap it becomes limp again. This is a cool update on a classic rope effect. Unfortunately, these 2 effects don’t fit together very well. To put it simply you will not be able to use a borrowed set of headphones. The gimmick takes a few minutes to build but once you do, you have an interesting little piece of strange.
Orbit: A packet of gum is shown to be empty with all but one piece. The gum is closed and upon opening it is instantly refilled. You get an in studio performance as well as a clip of Jeff performing on the Today Show. This is an easy to do very different piece of magic. The method is simple and even if you don’t chew gum you can easily make this up with a single packet. I was completely fooled by this each time it was performed.
Using one album and no apps the magician is able to make an album of lost photos slowly appear in his phone. Jeff talks about a few applications of this including a revelation/ changing photo. This is cool and got a lot of my juices going! Jeff talks about how his idea is still in development but it is a very good idea.
There are only a few magicians that I wish to emulate and Jeff Prace is one of them. I would love to be able to be creative like Jeff Prace. He has a sound magic mind and I feel like he is the next Joshua Jay. I think most magicians would enjoy this lecture.
