Here's what you'll learn:
Location Sensing Device: A fun and interactive routine where you find the selected cards under impossible conditions and then teach the spectator how to do it themselves.
Casablanca: The spectator auditions to be your psychic partner by correctly predicting the future while you read their mind.
Hive Mind: An interactive piece of mentalism using M&Ms with a prediction that the audience fills out themselves, they make all the choices, and is 100% correct every time! Even after knowing the method, you'll still be fooled by it.
Tilapia: Reveal two freely thought-of cards using fishing without ever getting a single "NO" answer.
Quantum Matrix: An incredible presentation for a visual matrix routine where everything makes sense and it's very easy to do.
Subconscious Shuffle Tracking: You and your spectator take turns locating a freely named card after a series of shuffles and cuts. Just when they think it's over, you finish by finding the four a kind of the named card!
S.O.L. (Performance Only): The spectator selects a card from a shuffled deck under the table without looking at it and places the rest of the deck in card case. Under these impossible conditions, Matt instantly reveals the selected card!
