Conscious Magic Episode 1 includes:
REAL WORLD
Ever
since Paul Curry released "Out of This World" there have been many
versions, but none are like Gerard's "Real World". Using a NORMAL deck
of playing cards the SPECTATOR creates their own reality by mentally
separating them into two piles by color. There are NO moves and NO
difficult sleights. This creative and simple method happens in the
spectator's mind while exploring the concept of the law of attraction.
T-REX
Learn
Ran Pink's ripping technique and create the illusion of REAL
mind-reading in the most direct, personal, casual and powerful way; AND
be able to do it ANYTIME with nothing more than a pen and piece of
paper. Never look at your hands as you rip the paper and there's NO
FUMBLING with too many pieces. It's classic and simple, yet SO STRONG
that it can bring people to tears. For the FIRST TIME Ran also explains
his technique for using post-it notes which are readily available
everywhere and easy to come by so you'll always be ready to "read
minds". See why so many professionals around the world have chosen T-Rex
as their secret weapon to get into someone's mind.
Bonus: OPTIKA
Optika
is the perfect opener for any social situation. Captivate audiences and
make yourself known as a magical performer by utilizing a simple
gimmick that is in most magician's arsenals. Andrew Gerard will teach
you the "optikal" illusion that will cause debate amongst your
spectators.

GET LUCKY
The
idea of lottery routines and picking winning numbers has been played
with by many people, using an array of methods from electronic devices,
special pads, and gimmicks. Ran Pink has developed a powerful routine
utilizing no gimmicks, just real lottery tickets and stubs. Walk up to a
store, buy a lottery ticket and stubs, and you're ready to go!
BECOMING
In
this effect, the spectator pushes their card flush into the deck with
their own finger. Their signed card goes from the middle of the pack to
the top while in their hands, but this is not your usual ambitious card
routine. Andrew guides the spectator through a journey of self-discovery
and inspires them to find the best version of themselves.
RADIO
The
spectator thinks of any song, writes it down on a card, and holds it in
their hand. Ran then asks them to touch his temples so they can feel a
thought leave his mind and travel into theirs -- they then guess one
note of the major scale. Now the spectator thinks of their song the same
way but, this time, is able to transmit the melody of their thought-of
song they were thinking of to Ran. The song can be revealed by singing
it or by playing it back on a mobile music service.
FIFTY 50
50/50
effects only matter when something of value is put on the line. In
Fifty 50 Andrew puts 0 on the line and wagers whether the spectator will
pick up the bill with their left or right hand. He always gets it
right! This is an anytime, anywhere routine. Grab some paper, pencil,
and something to wager, and you're ready to go.
"First
off, the material Andrew and Ran perform and teach is damn strong! But
if there's one lesson you can and should learn while watching them, is
how they take these pieces to make a connection with the people. This is
powerful stuff and the true secret of intimate theater."
- John Carey
"If
I had a list of ten mystery artists I'd like to be locked in a room
with, Andrew Gerard and Ran Pink would be on that list. They constantly
inspire me by stripping effects down to organic, seamless, simplistic
moments of astonishment. To have these two modern-day masters
brainstorming together is an opportunity I will not miss and neither
should you."
