Dancing with the Cards by Michael Breggar

Build a card-magic set around thought-of cards, surprising predictions, and moments of comedy with Dancing with the Cards by Michael Breggar. This physical book brings together Breggar’s quirky, audience-friendly routines, along with subtleties and performance tips to help you make them engaging.

• Thought-of card magic: In “The Third Attribute,” a spectator thinks of a card, and you never need to touch the cards.
• Interactive predictions: “52!” turns a series of spectator choices into a seemingly impossible prediction.
• Comedy and character: Routines include a playful take on a lie detector and an employment aptitude test with a darkly comic twist.
• Personal moments: “My Birthday Card” adds a funny, personal spin to the diary effect, while “My Favorite Things” ends with a signed-card surprise.
• Practical guidance: The book includes subtleties, pro tips, and several of Breggar’s favorite non-move moves.

Use the routines to add variety to close-up performances, from mind-reading presentations to relaxed comedy. The book is personally signed by Michael Breggar, making it a welcome addition to a card enthusiast’s bookshelf or working repertoire.
