The Principles of Destruction by Ben Seidman

Product detailed description

The Principles of Destruction details Ben Seidman's eponymous several-minute routine. It is a card act divided into three phases, with three graduating effects.

Phase One - Rising Card

In the beginning, the spectator chooses a card that is lost in the deck, shuffles the deck, and the deck is placed in a prepared glass. The spectator's card rises from the deck!

Phase Two - Card Under Spectator

The spectator's card is among several other cards placed in the spectator's hand. The spectator's card suddenly vanishes and reappears on the chair under the unmoving spectator!

Phase Three - Torn Card

The spectator tears off a corner of his card. You make the rest of the card disappear. You select a volunteer from the audience who finds the just-vanished remainder of the selected card in their pocket!

This is a well-structured magic routine. You will learn how to perform it and the importance of communicating and managing the audience. The book will also show you what it takes to put together a strong magic act.
