BRAINSTORM
THE CREATIVE CARD MAGIC OF JOHN GUASTAFERRO
John Guastaferro’s card magic reflects a rare combination of qualities: a cunning knowledge of entertainment value, a surgeon's deft technique,
plus a canny mind for method. In short, he is a cut above. —David Regal
VOLUME ONE BALLET CUT - Learn the real work behind John’s versatile in-the-hands false cut that’s simply beautiful to watch. FAIRY TALE FROGS - In this charming packet
trick, four frog-imprinted cards hop over one at a time, then change into princes after the spectator blows a kiss. Just wait for the final surprise! TROUBLESHOOTER - Your cards
have crashed, leaving nothing but backs on both sides. Here’s a fun, all-backs routine with a surprising twist. LOST & FOUND - A signed card vanishes from inside a clear plastic
wallet, then makes an impossible flight back inside using an extremely clever method. COLOR BLIND - Demonstrate your expert card handling in this simple, yet powerful Ace-cut-
ting demonstration, which leads into a strong transposition. PALM READER - The four Aces make a startling revelation, then change while in the spectator’s hand. CLUB
SANDWICH - This is a quick and clever sandwich routine where two selected cards magically change places! DOUBLE MONTE - A three-card monte exhibition ends with an
absolutely impossible-looking transposition. NO JOKERS ALLOWED - Jokers keep popping up, getting in the way of your award-winning card trick. DETOUR - Take your
audience on a whimsical road trip as a card “drives” here and there, finally parking in your wallet. TIDAL WAVE ACES - After expertly cutting to the four Aces in a topsy-turvy
shuffled deck, you visibly make the entire deck change color!
VOLUME TWO PARTY ANIMAL - Show your audience to a fun time in this thoroughly entertaining in-the-hands Triumph routine. CLAIRVOYANCE - Completely floor your audience with this elegant (and quite
eerie) revelation of a thought-of card. INTUITION - In this small-packet Hofsinzer-inspired miracle, the four Queens use their women’s intuition to reveal a spectator’s card. OUT OF THE BLUE - The four Aces and
four Queens not only change places, but change back designs as well. SNOWBALL ACES - In this mesmerizing routine, the ink simply melts away from both sides of the deck, then magically returns. It’s so visual
and deceptive, you’ll swear it uses rough and smooth cards. (It doesn’t). TAILSPIN - Using a four-of-a-kind of the spectator’s choosing, you cause each of the cards to turn face-down, then transform...twice!
SYNERGY - The cards work as a team in this flashy four-card revelation, where each card helps find the next. BIZARRE PREQUEL - The two-phase prequel to Paul Harris’ Bizarre Twist, featuring a clean and
clever approach to the Point of Departure plot. JAZZ FUSION - A modern twist to the classic Jazz Aces plot. Here, the four Jacks vanish into a black hole, leaving behind a startling surprise. GEMINI PREDICTION
- This is a true showstopper, featuring an impossible prediction of four randomly-selected cards and an astonishing finale.
