Trick 46 by Steve Rowe – Comedy, Magic, and a Mind-Blowing Finale!

Trick 46 is the perfect blend of hilarious comedy and an impossible ending—a true powerhouse effect that fits in a card box yet can play to an entire theater. Whether you're performing close-up, parlor, or stage, this routine delivers big-time impact while packing small.

I firmly believe that even if you're a close-up magician, you should have a couple of routines in your arsenal that can play to an entire room, and Trick 46 ticks all the boxes. It's compact enough to fit in your case, yet the effect is so much bigger than the sum of its parts.

Here’s What Happens:

You start by addressing your audience:
"People always ask me, 'How do you learn a new trick?' Well, the answer is simple—I go to a magic shop. Yes, real shops that sell magic tricks exist! In fact, I thought it’d be fun if we all learned a trick together."

You explain that the last time you visited your local magic shop, you found a bargain-bin trick rated the 46th best trick out of 50—so expectations aren’t exactly high!

Inside the box are instruction cards, and you call a spectator to help by reading them aloud to keep you on track. This is where the fun begins!

Things go hilariously wrong:

• The instructions are incomplete, missing crucial steps.
• You end up destroying a card corner that you weren’t supposed to actually destroy.
• The trick seems doomed!

Just as your helper is about to return to their seat, you offer them a consolation prize: a retro Flying Saucer sweet from a sealed bag. They genuinely choose any sweet, rip it open, and—BOOM!—inside is the missing corner from the signed card!

Why You’ll Love Trick 46:

• It’s packed with built-in comedy and audience interaction.
• The ending is so impossible, it leaves jaws on the floor.
• If sweets aren’t your style, the reveal can happen anywhere—your wallet, a locked box, a spectators pocket or even an orange!

What’s Included:

Trick 46 comes with everything you need to get started (just supply your own sweets). This routine is as fun to perform as it is to watch, and it’s guaranteed to leave your audience laughing and amazed.

Trick 46—a is real showstopper that’s as magical as it is entertaining!
