The cards surrender... Now surrender the cards

Since the dawn of magic, there has been a struggle for supremacy between man and playing card. I'm happy to announce that after years of bloodshed, (those papercuts can be nasty) the war is over and man has prevailed.

The New Magicians Guillotine

There was a day when the Guillotine was an amazing stage effect. Today you can find it all over YouTube and other magic sites. The new magicians guillotine is the video camera.
