21st Century Canasta

This Magic trick is very simple and requires no intervention from the magicician. I made a Little adjusment for the revelation method, but that’s just to make it easier for mer, the method in the video is perfect. Moreover, this trick only use a phone and a deck of cards, wich every magician always has with them. Have fun with 21st Century Canasta :)

This is really good. As advertised, no sleight of hand is involved, and it can be done with the magician's hands off everything on the table. But there is a fair amount of preparation of the materials needed, including some rearranging of the apps on the magician's phone, something that (a) I am reluctant to take the trouble to do and (b) that might make your phone's screen look a little suspicious --? I mean, only 4 apps on that one page, and those such often used ones? These are maybe fairly minor problems, and they don't prevent me from giving this five stars, especially with the low price for this clever trick.

Clever method with an even more clever presentation

Highly recommend

This is a hidden gem on Ellusionist
I know I'm a little late in the game, purchasing this 6 years after it's release.
However, I have a "Hands-off" card routine where this fits in perfectly.
Thank you Ellusionist and thank you Mr. Elsdon!

Well presented!!

Bought 2 trics and immediately recieved them. Delivery is super quick, learning takes time though 😉😋

So this is amazing, so easy. It works on its own. I don't regret the money at all. you will love this effect

Excellent effect-immaculate presentation--THANK YOU!! This effect sits in my pocket ready to go at all times. This fact just serves to amplify reactions that much more---because each time, I wait for someone to ask me to 'do another one' and the fact that I never touch the phone OR the deck has them thinking that the trick hasn't even started yet-Amazing! Also, the fact that it is so hands off has the added effect of helping a non-badass/beginner guy like me just sit back and look like the coolest and most stoic of pros!! I've only used it a few times and it already looks like i've been doing it for years--Even did it with my hand in a wrist-splint, emphasizing the 'hands off'....SO COOL!!

It is true that is not 100% effective but Mark explains how to get around that. The good thing is that the spectators don't know what is happening until you decide to reveal, so you can play with that. I think that even though the method is based on a classic, this version is really effective and closer to our times. Quick preparation, great reactions and you really are clean from start to end. I'm glad I purchased it!
