Matchmaker

Picture this:

You hand your spectator a deck that they help you shuffle.

Next, they name ANY number.

You shuffle another deck and then deal to the chosen number in both decks.

The card at the chosen number is the same!

Finally, despite the fact that the spectator SAW that both decks were different as you dealt through them…

…you finish by revealing that now both decks match perfectly!

This effect is called Matchmaker.

Nearly 3 years ago, we sat down with pro magician Steven Bridges and brainstormed a method that we thought would make this effect possible.

Ever since then, we haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.

More than any other effect, we desperately wanted to see this one performed in real life.

Here are some important points:

* No complex sleight of hand
* No need to memorize any stacks
* Works with ANY number
* No gimmicks
* No deck switches
* No forces

Here are just some of the reactions we've received from customers and Daily Magician readers to this effect:

“Loved the build-up to that surprise ending!” - Woj Magic

“Loved it, very interesting effect!” - Florian

“So good!! I don't understand how you do it!” - Esther

“Unbelievable” - Dan Chan

“A great effect and fun to do.” - Alan Blair

“So I've been looking for a deck match routine for a while now without having to do a deck switch or not all the cards matching. I came across matchmaker and bought hoping this was different than everything I saw. It definitely was. The ability to do this with 2 normal decks and not needing to do a switch at all makes this so much better of an effect than a lot of similar effects out there. Plus the added bonus of the cards matching up adds that little bit extra to make this effect worth the price. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to do a deck matching routine.” - Nate Heather

Of course, this effect isn’t self-working and will require a couple of moves—but those moves are very natural and motivated in the context of the routine.

When you purchase Matchmaker via this page, you'll be sent a 47-minute tutorial that explains everything you need to know to start performing this effect yourself.

But it’s not JUST Matchmaker you’ll get access to when you purchase!

When you purchase this effect, you’ll also get TWO free bonuses…

Bonus 1: Steven Bridges Reacts to the Method

13-minute runtime.

When we shot the above video with Steven, we also recorded a segment where he reacted to the method and added his own handling to parts of the trick.

(that arguably make it even STRONGER!)

Included in the discussion:

* Steven’s full reaction to the effect and method
* Steven’s thoughts on how to make the last reveal more powerful
* Steven’s thoughts on how to speed up the dealing process and make the effect pacier (these tips were highly valuable and might change how we perform the effect in the future!)

Bonus 2: The Original 'Jam Session' 

66-minute runtime.

We brainstormed the method for Matchmaker live on a call with Steven nearly 3 years ago. As a special bonus for buying Matchmaker, we’ll send you this entire recording.

This recording contains a lot of different topics, and not everything is about Matchmaker.

That said, in the recording you'll:

* Hear us create the method for Matchmaker live on call (and watch how it progresses from a fairly basic effect to a true showstopper)
* See our creative process in action—bouncing ideas off of each other and gradually making progress
* Hear Steven's insights on how you can make 'process-driven' tricks more dramatic and emotionally impactful for spectators
* Listen to us explore a handful of other pretty crazy ideas for effects (we don't explain all of the methods in the call but it's enough to get you on the right track)
