No Force. No Apps - Works 100% Of The Time

Deadline uses THEIR phone's stopwatch. No special magic apps needed! The outcome with DEADLINE is different every single time... But the trick always works. No pre-show needed & you never touch their phone.

KEEP THEM GUESSING

A Triumph like no other, with an ending they never see coming. Unlike many card tricks, Deadline has the element of surprise.

You'll Never Be Without It

Deadline teaches you 3 different versions to perform this effect. You'll learn how to make your own gimmicked deck at home, how to fool magicians & an impromptu version that you can do with no gimmicks at all. This means, even if you leave your gaff deck at home, you'll still be able to perform Deadline.

TRIUMPH'S LONG LOST BROTHER... DEADLINE


The spectator shuffles the cards, mixing face-up ones with face-down ones, resulting in absolute chaos.

They time this chaos using THEIR phone's stopwatch. No apps needed!

The time generated on the spectators phone is NEVER forced. Instantly, the cards revert back to order, as they discover that all cards, except 3, are now face down.

The 3 cards that are face-up precisely match the time they randomly generated. The deadline will be different for each participant - but the reveal will always be completely accurate.

You will be taught three variations:

• The hands-off approach where the gimmick deck does all the hard work for you.
• An impromptu, ultra-easy version... Adaptable to any time and any deck.
• A magician-fooling technique employing a borrowed deck of cards.

Love it

I love the tutorial and the different variations.My preference is the impromptu version because it just flows so well. The trick is easy to learn so you need to just focus on your presentation.

Great addition

I do magic on the streets of Dublin and was looking for something I could add to my act quickly. This ticked all boxes. Got it instantly, easy to learn. Did it the first day I received it and the crowd loved it.

William Church
Deadline

Very thorough instructions on video. Very easy to perform with no real slight of hand allowing more for the presentation, except for the magician fooled method. But even that has Essie slight of hand that with a little practice one can handle it. Well worth the money

J
John Devon
Overall awesome! But...

So some of these are amazing and some not as much. I love the impromptu one the most. The gimmick one is a little rough because besides the fact that you have to buy the gimmick decks, it is also not inspectible. The magicians fool one is great, but that requires slight of hand and for beginners like myself its hard to do.

A Must-Have in Any Magician's Arsenal

I'll cut straight to it. This is one of those rare gems that delivers exactly what every magician dreams of – a trick that's ridiculously easy to learn yet absolutely devastating in performance.
The method is so elegant and simple that you'll be shaking your head wondering why you didn't think of it yourself. I was performance-ready within minutes of watching the tutorial, and I don't say that lightly.
But here's where it really shines-the reactions. I've performed this a handful of times now, and the responses have been nothing short of insane. My daughter is genuinely one of the toughest people to fool – she watches my hands like a hawk and analyses everything I do. When I managed to completely fool her with this, I knew I had something special. And sure enough, it's played brilliantly with every audience since.
Yannick Barth's teaching is first-rate. He explains everything clearly and thoroughly, and the video production quality is superb throughout. You can tell real care went into this project.
What seals the deal? You can perform this with a borrowed deck, anytime, anywhere. No gimmicks, no setup stress – just pure, powerful magic ready to go whenever you need it.
This is an absolute no-brainer. Get it.

Amazing trick

Performed it a couple of times already, and the reactions are just insane.
New favorite trick!

Simple to Learn, Strong to Perform

I really like that Deadline offers several different methods. The impromptu version is quick, easy, and perfect when I don’t have the gimmick with me. The more advanced method requires a bit more practice, but the impact on the audience is definitely worth it. The tutorial is clear and well explained. The only downside for me is that the price feels a little high compared to other downloads. Overall, I’m satisfied with my purchase and I’ll definitely be using this in my performances.

For The Pro's and Hobbyist's

This project is incredibly stream lined and gives you all the knowledge you need. There are 3/4 methods taught which is gives you a wide range of options for how you want to perform this. For daily use the impromptu version is perfect! The presentation is clean and it's a very easy trick for the spectator to understand what's happening. The gimmicked version I could see building into a parlor show for sure. I haven't finished the 3/4 versions taught yet because I'm already super sold on the impromptu version. I highly recommend getting this, you WILL add this to your walk around set immediately!

A truly smooth technique, that is easy to do, and leaves the audience stunned. I've been shopping with ellusionist for over 10 years and everything they have is quality stuff. I Love this trick.

A KNOCKOUT effect!

The impromptu version of this effect leaves people absolutely SHOCKED! The longer you delay saying, “Do you remember when you turned over the cards it generated a random time on your friend’s stopwatch? How long was that?”—the HARDER this hits! People are so completely blown away by this that it’s the last effect I do.
It’s the perfect effect when someone asks if they can shuffle and cut the cards.
BUY IT! You will NOT be disappointed!

Fantastic Effect!

Deadline is a fantastic card effect that can be used with any deck. Presenting this while including others is startling. Your audience will love this!

Fantastic, well thought out & easy!

Such a great premise. So much thought went into this and not hard to learn with the impromptu version being the easiest and in my opinion, the best. If the appeals to you, you will use this. I will with actual paying clients.
Well done Y & E. Thanks for offering this.

D
Dale Fryman
Easy Peasy

I wish I had a thought of this. You learn multiple routines. This can be done with a borrowed deck or you can use your own special deck. Either one is easy to perform! I don’t believe you will be disappointed! Important!, You do not need a special deck.

A Lecture That Took My Magic to the Next Level

Learning magic and discovering new ideas is always exciting. But some lectures go beyond teaching tricks they revolutionize the way you think and perform as a magician. For me, Deadline was exactly that kind of lecture.

Deadline introduces three distinct methods, each with its own unique charm. Among them, my personal favorite is the simplest version. It’s incredibly easy to perform, yet the presentation is centered on audience participation, which brings a natural sense of justification to the effect. This involvement amplifies the astonishment felt by the audience. Magic isn't just about tricks it's about crafting memorable experiences and stories, and this method delivers exactly that.

Another fascinating aspect of Deadline is its use of a stopwatch to transform a classic trick into something entirely fresh. While the concept itself might seem straightforward, the innovative approach opens up a world of creative possibilities. It inspired me to think about how other effects could be elevated by incorporating unique props or reimagined presentations. This isn't just about learning one routine; it's about gaining a new perspective that can elevate your entire repertoire.

Deadline is more than just a collection of magic techniques it’s a masterclass in creativity and performance. It offers a groundbreaking way to engage your audience while providing endless inspiration for improving other effects. If you're passionate about magic, this lecture is a must-watch.

Thanks to Deadline, I’ve expanded my magical horizons and discovered new ways to captivate my audience. It’s a game-changer for any magician looking to take their skills to the next level.

Awesome

Impressive trick for an Amateur, , the presentation is harder than the actual trick. I love that a phone is used, and a simple deck of cards. Worth the money to me.
