Magic Video - In Black & White by John Gelasi

Delve into the masterful mind of John Gelasi with 'In Black & White,' an exclusive digital collection of three powerful close-up card routines designed to astound and entertain. This expertly crafted compilation offers clear, concise instructions, enabling magicians of all skill levels to perform professional-grade effects. Elevate your card magic repertoire with these captivating pieces, each offering unique magical moments and innovative handling.

Change for Three Jokers

Experience a truly novel take on the classic 'Wild Card' plot with 'Change for Three Jokers.' This routine begins with three ordinary Jokers, which, one by one, impossibly transform into the exact mates of a freely selected card. The magic culminates in a stunning finale as the selected card itself is produced, leaving your audience speechless. Gelasi's unique handling and sequential transformations make this a standout piece for any close-up performance, ensuring a memorable and highly visual experience that redefines what a 'Wild Card' effect can be.

R.B. Mix

Simplify and mystify with 'R.B. Mix,' an elegant and highly effective 'Oil and Water' routine. Stripping the effect down to its core, this rendition utilizes just four cards, yet delivers an abundance of magical moments. Watch as red-backed and blue-backed cards impossibly separate and mix at your command, all under seemingly impossible conditions. Gelasi's streamlined approach ensures clarity and impact, making this a perfect impromptu piece that showcases pure sleight of hand and deceptive psychology. It's a testament to how less can truly be more in magic.

Waver

Prepare to take a timeless classic to unprecedented heights with 'Waver.' This routine is John Gelasi's sophisticated evolution of Nick Trost's celebrated 'Eight Card Brainwave.' Imagine presenting eight distinct cards, yet your spectator always manages to mentally select the one card that is visibly different from all the others – perhaps the only one with a different colored back, or a unique marking. Gelasi introduces clever refinements and presentations that amplify the mystery and deepen the impossibility, turning a great trick into an absolute showstopper. 'Waver' will leave your audience questioning the very nature of choice and perception.
