HAPPENSTANCE has been a part of Eric's repertoire for a long time, and for good reason: It's a WORKER. This is a FIFTY PAGE physical booklet that teaches you how to take a commonly-neglected prop in magic and turn it into a powerful and memorable tool of mental destruction.
Once you learn Eric's full professional routine, you'll know how to effectively divine the spectator's choice of card, cause them to name the EXACT position of that same card in a ribbon spread with NO manipulation and THEY THEMSELVES will prove that it was all in the cards to begin with when the selection ends up on top of a freely named packet IN THEIR HANDS! The best part? It resets INSTANTLY.
The booklet even goes so far as to describe THREE DIFFERENT alternate endings including one option where you can hand out your business card to EVERYONE and ANYONE you perform this for without fear of someone saying "No thanks".
HAPPENSTANCE is the result of great thinking combined with love for the art. It is truly enhancing the quality of magic. Great work! Kevin Schaller

Eric has opened my eyes to the possibilities of what this deck is capable of...clear and brilliant as always. Ken Margoe
I was not sure what to expect from Happenstance. I was worried that like other multi - phase tricks ive tried it may be complicated or boring.I was wrong.Happenstance offers a new perspective on a common item most magicians own, but possibly overlook.The book explains step by step how to progress through the routine and also tells you the reason you are doing certain things.Each phase is very powerful and really is as close as you can get to making a card trick fair, the spectators will never doubt that they had a free choice in each phase.I also like the fact that this trick can be performed with 3 spectators so no one feels left out.Erics teaching is perfectly structured so that you dont get lost and feel the need to flip back through the pages repeatedly.The text is also accompanied by clear, annotated pictures showing exactly what to do.The book also offers a number of alternate endings making the routine more flexible and giving a perfect way to hand out a business card.A lot of thought has been put into Happenstance and magicians of any skill level can perform this in minutes.There is no difficult sleight if hand needed.This is a very powerful piece of magic in my repertoire and i highly recommend this to anyone who wants to perform a miracle.So what are you waiting for?Get you copy now!
