26!

Caleb Wiles' '26' is a very clever and brilliantly constructed card illusion. It's easy to do and will fry anyone watching. It seems so impossible and since it uses a normal deck which can even be borrowed, it's very practical. You actually get two tricks with a couple of variations as well for the price. Very highly recommended!

Excellent ! Excellent ! Excellent ! What more can i say ? BRAVO ! (given with many interesting subtleties, variations, ...)

This is a great download from Caleb Wiles. The premise itself is very good as it keeps the audience engaged during the whole performance. The opening act is good enough to keep the audience interested and it is a good introduction of the trick's premise. The trick in itself is very clever and its variations could suit up most situations. As a whole this video download is worth its price. Congratulations to Caleb, I hope he produces more downloads like this.

This trick is very good, but I tell you, I haven't seen a trick out there with more memory work to do than this one!!!! You have to watch the instructions at least 6 times to memorize the whole trick. It is actually ridiculous how much you have to remember. I do card magic for 4 years now, the trick is easy to do but awful lot to memorize!!! If you like the trick, buy it, but be aware that you will need some time to do it....But all together GREAT TRICK!!!!

This is a great, great effect! Very powerful routine, Caleb does an amazing work teaching it. I am already using it in my professional repertoire. This is the kind of magic that makes your audience believe in what you are doing. There are a lot of things to remember while performing this, but it worth it.

The production value is also great, there is nothing to complain about this download. Thanks Caleb and Vanishing Inc for sharing this amazing effect with the magic community.

Why are you still reading? Add it to your cart!

Outstanding effect with no difficult sleights at all (not even a DL). Destroyed my brain so much I had to learn it (I got it on the summer sale!) Great close up or camera'd stage effect. No tough angles. Can use deck for other effects before and after (Caleb provides ideas on how to setup on the fly from a normal deck)

Great

Caleb Wiles is a very creative magician with a clear teaching style. Excellent material here.

Caleb Wiles has a real winner here. This is a strong finale that will work under wide range of performing conditions. The construction is diabolical and will both fool and entertain everyone, including other magicians.

I performed this as my closer last night for friends after dinner and it received a great reaction. I think this is one of the best tricks in Caleb Wiles' "High Spots". I also performed his Reswindled, which received gasps.

When performing Out of this World, I sometimes quote the fact that the chance of dividing a deck in half at random and finding each half is all one colour is 1/247,959,266,474,052, or "about 1 in 248 trillion"

I asked myself this morning, what is the chance of seeing the apparent the result in Caleb Wiles' 26!? That is, what is the chance that if we divide a deck in half at random and deal down from each half, we find a pair of mates at every position, eg QH-QD.
 
This is vastly more unlikely than the result in OOTW. With the help of Mathematica I have computed the chance of this occurring to be 1 in 51 x 49 x 47 x ... x 3 = 52!/(26! 2^26) = 2,980,227,913,743,310,874,726,229,193,921,875 ≈ 2.98 x 10^33, or "about 1 in 2.98 undillion".

Caleb Wiles is such a genius magic creator! The 2 effects he teaches here are just fantastic and he has combined them into a wonderful routine. He explains everything you need to know clearly and concisely. Additionally, he covers tips & techniques including how to get into this from a shuffled, borrowed deck. I highly recommend this and suggest you also look into his other effects!

Excelent video!

What can I say about Caleb Wiles that has not already been said. 26 is one of those rare effects that can stand alone, or be used as a closer. No difficult sleight of hand, but, it is NOT self working either. As with most Caleb Wiles effects, the handling, script, and "bonus tips" are included.
