Mike Powers LIVE

“Mike Powers, author of Power Plays, followed with the slickest sleight-of-hand in the bunch.” - Lou Harry – Indianapolis Business Journal “I'm speaking of Mike Powers, whose new tome Power Plays/High Voltage Magic is bristling with new card magic along with a fine sampling of magic with coins and other small objects.” - Steve Bryant (Little Egypt Gazette) "... tricks that will make you think... and remind you of WHY you're a cardman why you love card magic." - Jon Racherbaumer re: Top Secret Stuff “Sounds like a miracle? It is!” - Frank Garcia re: Holy Terror “Swinger..will become a miniature modern classic!” - Michael Weber “Mike—again, a great trick and a real fooler.” - Bob Farmer re: Diminishing Returns “I do not know what gives Mike the ability to consistently come up with one great magical idea after another… maybe the ability simply comes from a great love of the pasteboards. However, what I do know for sure is that Mike loves the challenge of working on a new routine and working on it relentlessly until it becomes a masterpiece. I am grateful to Mike for taking almost a half dozen routines that I have published over the years and elevating them from interesting ideas into great routines.” - Allan Ackerman What will he teach? International Matrix Reverse – Matrix with coins from four different countries. The routine ends with a one at a time reversal with some awesome visuals. Invisible 21 – After a super-fair selection procedure, the magician deals the 21 cards into the usual 3x7 array. However, only 20 of the cards are visible and the selection isn’t among them. The magician then turns the invisible selection visible. Science Friction – A drinking straw balanced atop a bottle spins and gyrates mysteriously without the use of breath, threads or magnets. Jelly Roll – A signed dime visibly penetrates a sealed jelly container. When the cover is peeled back, the dime can be seen inside
