Magic download (video) by Luke Jermay (29.95)

Nearly four hours of Luke Jermay reconstructing classics of magic into stunning, visual, and amazing gems you’ll want to perform every chance you get.

Luke Jermay is one of the most respected mentalists and magical thinkers in the world. His groundbreaking creations have revolutionized the art of mentalism. Following the passing of his dear friend and mentor, Max Maven, though, Luke decided he wanted to take a short break from mentalism so he could dive deeper into his other biggest passion: card magic.

As a lifelong student of magic, Luke was eager to see how his signature creative approach could be used to drastically enhance the classics of card magic. The result was some of the most amazing magic we’ve ever seen.

For “Constructing Magic”, Luke fully immersed himself in four of the most popular plots in magic. He dove into every resource he could find. Every book. Every video. Every obscure small-run pamphlet. He tested, modified, combined, and rejected methods until he landed on the strongest version of each effect.

Perfectly Constructed & Deeply Fooling

In total, you’re going to learn four stunning tricks in “Constructing Magic”:

  • The Homing Card
  • Cannibal Cards
  • Cassandra
  • Open Traveler

You may have seen these routines before, but never like this. Luke meticulously peeled back each one to its core, and then reconstructed them with the previous flaws and discrepancies removed. By substituting complex sleight of hand with clever thinking and innovative gimmicks, he’s not only streamlined the handlings, but made each effect more deceptive than ever—even for magicians who are familiar with the plots.

Luke also offers a deep analysis of what makes each one special. This exclusive look into the mind of one of our generation’s greatest scholars equips you with the insights needed to get huge reactions and make a lasting impact with not just these routines, but your magic as a whole. Instead of just constructing magic, you’ll be constructing miracles.

Complete Gaff-Making Masterclass Included

Don’t let the fact that gaffs are required prevent you from learning these world-class routines. “Constructing Magic” also comes with the most in-depth gaff building workshop we've ever seen. Even if you’ve never made a gaff in your life, you’ll be able to follow along as Luke spends more than an hour walking you through every single detail needed to make the most popular gaffs in card magic.

These versatile gaff-making techniques can be applied to any deck of cards. That means, if you come across a trick requiring a gaff, you can use your favorite cards instead of being restricted to Bicycles.

You’re just one click away from learning four showstopping effects, as well as the secrets to providing every audience with an unforgettable experience. You'll also walk away with gaff-building skills that will benefit you for the rest of your magic journey. So, what are you waiting for?

Luke Jermay is hands down the greatest magician of all time!

The tricks themselves are highly gaffed. Don't expect to perform any of these from a shuffled deck in use. That said, the gaffes make the methods easier and in the case of Cassandra, make them so that us mere mortals can perform a great trick. Lastly, the chapter on constructing the gaffes is fantastic. I'm tempted to say it's worth the price of admission alone. Due to the highly gaffed nature of the effects, I'd perhaps subtract a star, but the construction chapter makes up for it.

A bit of fun. But make sure to stay for the end, the conversation between Andi and Luke about this as Luke calls it "palate cleanser", contained many useful points that are applicable far beyond the realms of this card trick.

Very nice video series on card magic with Luke Jermay. Although best known for his outstanding mentalism routines, here he delves into classic card magic. His thorough explanations and love for these effects is infectious. These are all great routines and the versions presented here are quite entertaining and able to be performed by those with modest sleight of hand abilities. This series is highly recommended for lovers of card magic or Luke Jermay.

  • Erik asks: Does “Cassandra” refer to Guy Hollingworth’s “Cassandra Quandary” from Drawing Room Deceptions?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: Yes, it's Luke's take on Guy's trick. Full performance available on the page!
  • Alexander asks: Not sure but it looks like this is about card magic only. Why is it called constructing magic?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: Luke has replaced the difficult sleights in these routines with gimmicks. He not only teaches the tricks, he teaches you how to "construct" the gimmicks too. Hence the name.
  • Philip asks: What items are required for making the gaffs?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: Rubber cement, glue stick, scissors, cutting mat, cutting knife for most of the gaffs. Then Luke shows you more advanced techniques that use Dry Mount Tissue.
