Effect

Victor P’s Triumph is a modern take on the classic Triumph effect. A spectator shuffles a deck of cards, mixing face-up and face-down cards. The magician then instantly rights the entire deck—except for a few cards. These remaining face-up cards reveal a meaningful number, such as a spectator’s birthday, address, or another personal detail. The effect combines visual magic with psychological impact, making it memorable for audiences.

Full Details

Victor P’s Triumph is taught as part of the Deadline download by Yannick Barth. The download includes three routines:

  • Beginner-Friendly Routine – A simple handling suitable for those new to Triumph effects.
  • Gimmick Deck Handling – Uses a specialized deck for a spectator-focused version (though this reduces inspectability).
  • Standard Triumph Handling – Adaptable to various Triumph methods, including Victor P’s version.

    • The effect works with any deck and a borrowed phone (for timing). It is angle-proof and resets instantly. The download provides 90 minutes of video instruction, including live performances and detailed explanations.

    Who Should Consider the Trick

    • Card magicians looking for a fresh take on Triumph.
    • Performers who want audience interaction—the effect can reveal personal numbers, adding an extra layer of mystery.
    • Those who prefer impromptu magic, as it can be done with a borrowed deck and phone.

    Difficulty

    The difficulty varies by routine:

    • Beginner-Friendly Routine – Easy to learn, ideal for newcomers.
    • Gimmick Deck Handling – Intermediate, requiring setup.
    • Standard Triumph Handling – Moderate, depending on the chosen method (Victor P’s version is mechanical but manageable).

    Sebastian Tocamagic notes that Victor P’s handling is his favorite, calling it "my favorite Triumph I’ve ever learned."

    What Magicians Say

    Sebastian Tocamagic praises the effect’s practicality, stating it "slaps" due to its versatility and strong audience reactions. He highlights the borrowed-deck version as the best, saying, "I think that carrying a gimmick deck for this effect is just wasting its potential of being just a borrowed miracle."

    He rates Deadline a 9 out of 10, deducting points for the price ($35 CAD) but commending its adaptability and surprise factor. He adds, "It is something that I'm going to be performing personally."

    Victor P’s Triumph, as part of Deadline, offers a compelling blend of visual magic and psychological engagement, making it a strong choice for performers seeking a modern Triumph routine.
