Here’s what happens:

The audience is instructed to grab a deck of cards and remove the 1-9 of any suit. If they don’t have a deck of cards they could write the numbers 1-9 on small slips of paper. The Spanish game of Escoba is introduced where the goal is to make a hand of 3 cards that equals 15 points. The cards are mixed, cut, and dealt into three hands of three cards. The spectator is allowed to select any hand they want, and miraculously their hand contains 15 points. A winner every time!

Originally performed over the radio by Juan Tamariz, this effect is as amazing in person as it is over the internet. Expertly taught by Dan Harlan, you’ll learn the mechanics of the effect as well as a full presentation and the nuances to perform this great test of luck with cards, or numbered slips of paper, even though you aren’t in the same room. This simple to perform trick is a powerful effect that magicians of all skill levels will love. This is The Impossible In Your Hands by Juan Tamariz, presented by Dan Harlan.
