I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Make a Wish magic trick, and I’m still in awe of its brilliance! This trick is hands down one of the most mind-blowing performances I’ve ever seen. From start to finish, the effect is flawless, and the audience is left utterly mystified.

The trick begins with a seemingly simple premise: the magician asks the spectator to make a wish. But what happens next is pure magic. The execution is smooth, seamless, and leaves no room for explanation, which is the hallmark of any great magic trick. What I particularly loved about Make a Wish is how personal it feels. The trick doesn’t just involve an object or card—it taps into the spectator's emotions, which makes it all the more powerful.

The method behind the illusion is so well hidden that even when you try to analyze it afterward, you come up empty. It’s one of those tricks that leave you saying, "How on earth did they do that?" The magician’s performance is impeccable, and the pacing is just right. It builds suspense, delivers the wow moment, and ends with the perfect reveal.

What sets Make a Wish apart from other tricks is its ability to create a sense of wonder and amazement without relying on flashy props or complicated setups. It’s simple, elegant, and incredibly effective. This is a trick I would highly recommend to any magician or magic enthusiast. Five stars—no question!

Very good way to offer a very different birthday present. I am pretty sure this one will never be forgotten by the person who received it. The method is clever but may be interpreted in different ways accordingly to different personalities. The idea is great and deserves to be well served.

Bud

Thank you SO MUCH for giving us this free trick! This effect is just fantastic. What a great way to celebrate someone's birthday with a surprising giveaway that they will cherish. Caleb Wiles is such a genius magic creator that I will be buying more of his fine effects for sure!

Mike

Excellent. Many thanks.

Harry

awesome thanks

Daniel

great!

John

Fun to watch, and likely easy to engage with most anybody. The birthday paradox info is interesting, and I suspect that a large percentage of people have some idea about it even if not knowing the term. My granddaughters in particular will like this, once I am up and running.

Matthew

Great trick especially if doing parties. Works for all ages.

James/Lawyers

Looks like a grea Trick. I will have to try it myself.

cristian

Very Good

Andrew

Really liked the illusion of blownout candles as well as the thoughtfulness the effect represents. I don't see it as a pain lo prepare: spend an afternoon churning out set of ten, and I can easily acquire a red backer deck. A reputation maker.

Bernard

This is a very interesting trick. I appreciate the magicians delivery when teaching all the intricacies of it. It does seem like a great way to create a lasting memory for someone who is having a birthday and also appreciates a magic routine at the moment. The techniques are simple but seems like they have a big punch. I was also paying attention to his pacing (when performing). Not too fast, nothing rushed but it didn’t seem to drag either.
Very interesting

An unbelievable trick!!! The effect is so strong, yet so clean as well. Learning the secret to this trick truly blew me away, as it is such a clever use of double backers. What is especially good about this trick is the personalised element of this - it allows the magician to connect with his audience, which will also help when misdirecting or showing other tricks. Would strongly advise to give this one a go!

Jae Won

I honestly wasn't expecting much since this was available for free, but was still surprised that it contained a lot of useful material. Definitely planning on checking out other videos too. I would recommend it to anyone

Enoch

Very impressive! All though very easy from a magician's point of view, it is non the less amazing to the spectators.

Nicholas R

Great trick Easy to do

Sebi

An unique trick!

Jordan

I really like this trick it blew my mind and when I learned it I got better at magic by watching that. It showed me how to do a birthday trick. It shocked me at first then when I saw the trick I understood what it was doing. I appreciate the work that this magician put in to show everyone how to do a birthday trick. Thank you for making a birthday trick and giving it to people for free. Keep up the good work.

Fabulous, what a wonderful trick, in today's society it is rare to have someone give away something of value. And this trick has immense value for multiple reasons to anyone who understands what commercial value it holds.

Patricia

I like it a lot, does he have a template to make the drawing of the birthday cake, genius idea

Neal

like it alot

Jim

great

Crew

I love the simplicity-versus-payoff of this trick. As a cruise director, I host a weekly celebration for all guests celebrating a birthday during their cruise and this is the perfect surprise and delight to give the event a more personal flair and to literally add a magical touch to an already special occasion.

Michel

Zachary

For what amounted to a free download, I have nothing bad to say about this effect. A few very simple sleights that most who have found this will likely already know. As far the the presentation, anytime you can make a personal connection to the audience, your performance becomes that much better. This effect can easily accomplish that, and the method is suitable for a number of different variations to add a personal touch.

Mike

Nice one.

Neeraj

There are lots of birthday tricks around. This one comes as an awesome surprise act. The routine is pretty succinctly explained and presented. The gaff is easy to make and the ending is marvelous. Guaranteed to bring some birthday joy and cheers.

Imagine you are doing a restaurant, or a kids party;
Imagine that someone of the kids has a birthday;
Imagine you have a top trick in your breast pocket;
Just imagine this ... just buy it ...
Imagine you can get it for free with the Vanishing Inc. Points ... ;-) ;-) ;-)

Mike

Excellent description and content. Easy with a souvenir being handed out….

Marc

Great thinking for giving a birthday souvenir to a guest or a member of the adience. I'd like to perform this strolling. Maybe it does not have to be a birthday theme with a birthday cake, for I thing the principle of this trick is adaptable to other themes. I will surely give it more than a try!

Cyril

Dirk

Burk

Great idea! Something you can keep with you so you're always ready to amaze someone for their birthday.

Louis

The effect was super cool. At first, I was thinking ehh.. But when I saw the kicker ending, I was truly surprised. Gotta love magic tricks and the people who invent them.

Miguel

What a nice, entertaining and easy to do routine to celebrate someone's birthday! The explanation of the trick is also superb, starting from an actual performance and moving into a nice, clear tutorial. Well done!

This looks like a wonderful walk around trick. Such a better way to make a birthday person feel special without embarrassing them with a song.

Micah

This is an amazing card trick that you can get for free. This is probably the best birthday card trick that I have found. If you are willing to wright on cards then you will be performing this for anyone who has a birthday. I can't wait to perform this and you should get this right now.

Dan Thorpe Guitar Ltd

Excellent tutorial

Preforming this at evert future party gig. Never would of thought of doing this and love the easy method. Thanks VI for making this free. Love it when you do that. Everyone enjoy this free trick like I did and have a good day

Danny

Like this and will use at my next party. Real strong effect and will play big enough for most crowds.

Arjun

It was awesome and easily understandable.

Allan

This is a really nice routine that can fit for everyone who performs in restaurants or any walk around presentation. I liked his setup to make it easy to perform at any time and it can be customized to other themes.

Luis

Great effect. Bravo.

Leonard

Once you get past the intial arts-and-crafts work, this trick is not at all hard to do and gets great reactions. This is hands-down the best free download ever. A lot of guys hold back a little bit when they give instruction but Caleb Wiles gives you the impression that he wants to see you do the routine better than he does. Thank you, Caleb and Vanishing Inc, for this generous gift.

Steve

Patrick

truly enjoyed the presentation and very clear explanation.
I will definitely be adding this to my repertoire!
I have performed for many years in bars and nightclubs, and this will come in very handy.

Simon

Fab trick! This is the perfect little trick to keep in your pocket whenever you are doing card magic. The demonstration and explanation are both very clear - and I especially love the second half of the routine. This is definitely one that I will practise and perform. It's also a great way to give away a souvenir which can include your advertising details. Well worth it!

john

NIFTY !!

Jim

Thorsten

Excellent effect, engaging presentation and a great idea to ring in some gaffed cards. This is a worker. Have it ready in your pocket and you are prepared to impress someone on their birthday AND leave them with a souvenir (plus your contact information if you do it right). You should have some experience with cards and audience management but apart from that it is not complicated. Thanks for sharing this. I will look into more of his material after seeing this.

Jimmy

Tim

Thomas

This is totally neat little card effect! I work in a tattoo shop (professional piercer!) and occasionally I do magic for my customers. I seem to get a LOT of people coming for their birthday, so now I have something cool to add! I can also see a number of ways this could be adapted to suit a number of non-birthday situations by changing the cake to something else.. But just the same, Make A Wish rocks!!

Enrique

Malcolm

great

Bill

This is an easy to do signed card with a punch trick and much easier than the method I had been using with a book of matches. I have used double backers in a few of my walk around effects so this is a no brainer trick for my style of magic. Thanks for the wonderful trick. As to how powerful this is I had a woman ask me to do my trick telling me I had done it for her and she had the signed card in a frame on her mantle and loved telling the story of our encounter two years earlier.

Darren

Andrew Paul

1 word amazing and not too complicated for close up

Charles

Zee

Alon

Love it! Such a fun routine to perform for someone on their birthday! Definitely recommend to a magician going to perform at a birthday party! Very fun and visual! Love it soo much!

Dhanish

Wow! This is an excellent insane card trick, it is a great trick for showing someone on their birthday, you are gonna love it if you perform at hotels, Caleb's explanation is also really good, absolutely recommend it, really enjoyed it.

Jeff

This is really good! I love the trick itself. I'll definitely perform this if I'll ever got the chance. And the best part is I've got this instructional video for free. Hoping to have other videos like this. I think I really need to start saving money for me to be able to gain access and purchase more quality video. Thank you for this! Best magic shop!

Timothy

Sebastian

This is a great trick for a birthday party. It leaves the spectator with a little gift, but the presentation itself is also appealing. Most people will have everything needed for performing this trick, so after some drawing and memorizing the moves, you're ready to perform this. Caleb Wiles' teaching is superior as well.

Mike

I found this step-by-step walk through video really helpful. I have added this sure-fire short routine to my arsenal and it has already come in useful when a clients birthday occurred. Great value, thanks for the video and the clear instructions. Particularly useful as I can make up the cards myself at no cost.

John

LOVELY TRICK ITS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR, TODAY THERE ARE MORE AND MORE INTRICATE MIND BOGGLERS INVENTED COSTING AN ARM AND A LEG , THOUGH EASY IN ITS CATEGORY , IF PRACTISED PROPERLY IT WILL GET REACTIONS WORTHY OF ANY PROFESSIONAL TRICK OUT THERE , VANISHING INC OBVIOUSLY CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF MAGIC, OFFERING EVERYONE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM AND SHINE WITH THE BEST .

Geoffrey

Good workable easy trick and very useful to have in your pocket....

Sean

bertram

Very clever setup as well as simple routine. Was not confusing to spectator. Everything made sense. There was a reason for each and every move. Double lift, false shuffle, a little patter appropriate for the occasion and BAM, instant success. Made a great hit with the spectator and left a very memorable souvenir.

Simon

Thank you very much!

Very good explanation, straight to the point and easy to understand. The trick is very simple and suited for beginners. Very good magic trick for a free download.
The only difficulty is to get the drawing as accurate as possible, maybe i will find some kind of sticker or drawing template anywhere.

Carl

WOW. First time ever seeing this. Love it. Can't believe I never heard of this before. Will definitely be using this for a long time to come. Excellent routine.

What a great thrick ! A smart way to introduce a guimick card in the middle of your show. A feel good ending.
This is my new anniversary trick for sure. A little tip for you, using a double back also as a card in the envelope will avoid a problem you would not suspect.

Black Jack

Randy

This is one great trick!
I've been using Doc Easons birthday card trick for years ... This is BETTER ! Now it's my go to Birthday trick
Please don't overlook this gem
Randy . Happy customer

Francis

This is shows a very practical way to clean up using gimmick card. Very nice presentation. This is so good for a free download.

Joseph

good a usable trick

Charles

Nice trick very easy to do with a little practice. It makes for an easy go to trick if your table hoping and come across someone who is celebrating a birthday. I will carry two sets of the trick invade there is a second person celebrating a birthday. That way it will be a different outcome in case someone is watching both performances.

Konstantin

Robert

Excellent explanation.

Hal

Amazing! The only inconvinience is the preperation the double back, drawings etc...
