SleightfulI have £10 and need a close up routine that must include Alakazam Products...
Pete takes on a fun challenge in this video: building a close-up magic act with a limited budget of £50 (originally £10!), using only products from Alakazam. He uses dice rolls to determine the act's parameters, resulting in a close-up performance with a mentalism focus, organic props, slight of hand, and the requirement to include Alakazam products. The core of his act revolves around three items: a deck of Bicycle Standard Red Poker Cards, a Thumb Tip Classic, and a subscription to Alakazam Unlimited. Pete demonstrates how Alakazam Unlimited, at just £4.99 a month, provides access to a massive library of over 200 videos, representing over £1000 worth of material. He outlines a potential routine starting with Matthew Dowden's Chicago Opener, followed by a bill switch or the Salt Trick using the thumb tip, and concluding with another Dowden vanish of the deck. He also highlights using Cyclone for a quick mind-reading effect. Pete encourages viewers to try building their own acts with similar constraints and to share their ideas, emphasizing that Alakazam Unlimited is a fantastic resource for magicians of all levels.
