How to do a hands off three selection routine! | Saturday Sorcery Mike Powers tutorial
This week's Saturday Sorcery features a tutorial by Mike Powers, showcasing his hands-off three-selection routine, "Triple Whammy," taken from his "Tesseract" lecture. Beau, the host, guides viewers through the method, highlighting the routine's fairness and clever structure. The video includes a giveaway for the "Whammy Bundle" and a bonus effect, offering magicians a chance to win and learn additional magic. Mike Powers emphasizes the importance of a breather crimp, a simple yet crucial element for controlling the deck and creating a deceptive cut, and cautions against overworking it. He also draws inspiration from Willis Kenny, a Canadian gambler and magician, and mentions that moves tagged with an asterisk in his "Tesseract" book have accompanying video tutorials on mallofmagic.com/themoves. The routine utilizes techniques like the breather crimp, Willis Kenny deceptive control, Magician's Choice/Equivocation, and Tilt, all contributing to a clean, deceptive, and engaging performance. Powers encourages magicians to practice, record themselves, and perform in real-world settings to refine their delivery and incorporate this routine into their acts, emphasizing confident delivery and respect for the participant.
