The Opener (Parlor version) by Adrian Vega (Red)

Open your show with a laugh, then let a spectator’s freely imagined playing card become an impossible reveal. In The Opener (Parlor Version) by Adrian Vega (Red), they think of a number and suit, and you unfold a matching card.

Created for larger audiences while retaining the original’s close-up appeal, this routine can move from a table performance to a parlor show or stage. It gives the people farther from you a clear moment to follow.

• Free thought-of card: The spectator names a number and suit in their mind, without a force, equivoque, or fishing.
• Multiple performance settings: Use it close-up, at a table, in parlor, or on stage.
• Handmade gimmicks: The box includes special handmade gimmicks, a silk, and the materials needed for the routine.
• Instructional video: Adrian Vega teaches the routine, with performance tips, subtleties, and additional ideas from professional magicians.
• Refined through performance: Years of real-world performances shaped a routine described as surprisingly easy to perform.
• Compact box: It measures 3.5" × 5" (8.9 cm × 12.7 cm).

Give your opening minutes a playful build and a card reveal that reaches beyond the front row. It’s a direct way to draw a larger audience into the mystery from the start.
