Single Handed by Geraint Clarke
You place one hand behind your back before the trick starts.
Then, they freely choose a card (no force).They shuffle.
With just one hand, you cut the deck, pull out a random card and ask them if it’s theirs.
IT’S NOT… and you say...“I’m much better at tricks with two hands.”
As you slowly spin around, the hand that’s been behind your back the entire time, is now holding their card.
It can even be signed.
In this project you’ll learn:
- The Single-handed routine
- The NSFW reveal
- The Deck Vanish Version
- The TV-clean version
Single-handed is as fun to perform as it is to watch.
Spectators often have an expectation of sleight-of-hand, or the hand being quicker than the eye.
So performing this single-handed allows you to play on that expectation & produce a more impossible reveal.
The gimmicked deck makes it feel free and loose - but you’re always in control.
Listening to customers, we’ve also split this into 2 sections.
- Single-handed uses a popular gimmicked deck. So if you think you probably own one, you can save on shipping fees and get the method-only pass. Giving you access to the teaching video digitally.
- If you’re not sure if you have the gimmick, or you don’t have any gaff decks - then we’ve also got the gimmick deck version. You’ll still get access to the instruction video - but you’ll also get the exact gaff deck you need to make single-handed work.
So join Geraint Clarke - as he teaches you how to blow minds, Single-handed.
FAQ's
They can shuffle? Overhand or riffle?
Both. We recommend overhand - but honestly, it comes down to the spectator's skill level. At Blackpool Magic Convention, G was performing this for magicians all day - so they all knew & insisted on riffle shuffles, which still worked.
On the street, people were doing a very sloppy (but thorough) overhand shuffle. Which in our opinion is better.
What is the gimmicked deck?
Part of the 'secret' to this routine is a new way of using a popular gimmicked deck. If you 'think' you may have one because you have a drawer full of gaff decks - or you can pick one up conveniently from your local magic shop, then just get the method-only video.
Some people like to save on shipping or save time if they think they have the gimmick already.
However, if you're not sure - or you'd be happy to receive a back-up of this deck (because decks don't last forever & you'll definitely want to go perform this effect) then get the gimmicked deck + method video option.
Because it's part of what we're selling - we're unable to tell you outright what deck it is, as we wouldn't want people to try and reverse engineer (for free) something we've worked very hard on.
How hard is it to perform?
The TV-clean version taught on the project is crisp & untraceable - but it's also close to being self-working. If you're new to magic or don't have confidence in your skills, you can use the gimmicked deck to do that version... Bosh.
If you want to perform the signed card (main routine) then there is some sleight-of-hand involved, but it's as easy as 'getting a break'.
