B'wave Deluxe
Eugene Burger called it “The best packet trick of the 20th century.” B’Wave Deluxe is a prediction of a thought-of picture card. Not only is the card they name face up, but it is the only card with a different colored back. And if that wasn’t enough, all the other cards are blank! For the first time ever B’Wave Deluxe comes with an instructional download from the creator himself, Max Maven. The download contains Max’s latest scripting, handlings, and theory on the legendary effect. The kit comes with multiple sets of gimmicks, allowing you to perform the effect with jacks, queens, or kings. Want to perform the effect but want to use don’t want to use blank cards? Also included are three jokers so you can perform the effect any way you choose.
- Packs small, plays big
- Three phase dramatic structure
- Easy to do with a huge payoff
- Can be performed as a magic trick, or as a mentalism prediction
Even if you already own B’Wave, Max Maven will reveal the real work on this trick. You don’t want to miss this!

I’ve been performing B’Wave for 15 years. I bought this to get some new cards, but the video turns out to be the real gem. One of the best “one trick” videos I’ve seen and a model for others to follow. I learned new touches and things I’d forgotten.
Patrick
Really great stuff here. Max Maven is a Genius when it comes to creating simple hard hitting effects. Super easy to do, good video instructions and USPCC cards, so you know you‘re getting the good stuff. Also shipping went really quickly. It’s a pleasure to perform!!
Jason
As a new hobbyist magician BWave was exactly the kind of packet trick I was looking for. Easy to learn, excellent video tutorial, and a amazing trick that always entertains. The tutorial taught by Max Maven provides a great routine to use as is or to use as building blocks for one of your own.
Chris
First off, I could listen to Max Maven talk about any and every possible kind of magic. I have always wanted this effect.I also own Twisted Sisters. I agree with Max Maven that B’Wave is stronger. Many times, less is more. B’Wave is performed with less cards, but it’s the patter that sells this trick. Definitely added to my close up performances.
Derek
You may not know this effect if you are new to magic. Congratulations -- you have come accross one of the best effects in magic you will ever find. This is the type of thing that has people believing in real magic or mentalism powers. And the best part is, it is extremely easy, IF you learn the nuances in wording provided by Max. The video provided will teach you valuable tips that you will use for this particular technique for the rest of your life. This is an absolute must buy.

B’Wave is an excellent packet mentalism performance piece . There are two things I particularly like about the B’Wave deluxe package compared with the standard version. First, it comes with several extra special cards which provides more flexibility as it can be repeated for folks in close proximity with a different outcome. Also, it provides back-up cards in the event your special card is soiled or lost. Second, Max Maven’s tutorial provides clear and thoughtful performing tips. One mild issue – while there is a full performance using the table to lay down the cards, it would have been helpful to provide a second performance with the volunteer holding the cards in his / her hands, although the explanation of this optional non-table approach is clear and effective. I understand why this effect has stood the test of time!
Stephen
B'wave is an excellent packet trick to introduce when someone is burning your hands looking for any possible sleights. For this person, B'wave will hit even harder because they literally won't see any sleights. It will feel like real mind control. On the provided streaming video, Max Maven goes over some subtle nuances to presenting the trick that will help tremendously.
Samuel
I really love how the trick is pretty much self working: it gives you time to really focus on your performance, and I think because of that- it gives the reveal that big hit. Every time I perform this, the reaction is spot on….
Lucas
This is a modern classic. I bring a set of B'wave wherever I go. It just sits in my wallet and you have a miracle in your hands at any time. You get many sets of the gimmicks, so you don't have to worry about having to buy another set.
Aleksandra
B'wave by Max Maven is a classic for a reason. Don't let the simplicity of the effect device you, this trick will stun everyone you perform it to and leave them speechless. Provided in the package are several card sets which will allow you to perform B'wave with different colored backs (red or blue), jokers or blank cards, and you use Jacks, Queens, or Kings. This 4 card packet trick is easy to carry around but is an amazing example of strong mentalism. Packs flat, plays extremely big!
Steven
Truly amazing work from a Mentalism Legend. Love the deluxe version where you can mix and match. A part of my EDC, and it is simple to perform. The best packet trick you can buy.
Ricardo
Bwave is one of the best packet tricks that I have. I love its simplicity, easy handling, practicality and strong impact. Moreso, several substitute cards are provided. What more can you ask for? You can't go wrong with Max Maven handling the tutorial himself, which is a plus. This EDC item is a must-have. Just read the 5-star comments that made this wonderful trick a no-brainer. Highly recommended.
Steve
B'wave is an amazing effect and has been around for many years. When performed properly it kills. Take the time to learn to perform it correctly and you will blow minds with this. The download by Max Maven is the real deal. Follow what he says and you have pure gold here.
Stuart
An excellent effect so much more than the sum of its parts. Expertly explained by Max...outlining perfectly how thus should be performed for maximum impact. An easily carried winner all day long!
Ridgely
Someone asked recently "What is your EDC?" and B'Wave got mentioned again and again, and there's a reason for that: It's a phenomenal trick! It's easy to do and has tremendous impact. Furthermore, Max Maven was a past master of equivoque, and B'Wave can be, if you really dig into it, a master class on that subject. The video instructions that come with the trick are clear, meaning understandable AND technically well produced; and any chance to hear Max expand on magic is not to be missed. Can't say enough good about this purchase.
MAXIMILIANO
"B'Wave Deluxe" is a classic magic trick that has been updated with modern touches by Max Maven. The trick involves making a selected card disappear and reappear between two cards. The trick is simple to perform and requires no sleight of hand, making it a great option for beginners and pros alike. The props included are high quality and durable, making it a great investment for anyone looking to add a new trick to their arsenal. Overall, "B'Wave Deluxe" is a fun and impressive trick that is sure to impress audiences and keep them guessing
Mark
This has become my everyday carry. What a great piece of direct mentalism. Quick and hard hitting. Love it!
Kris
This is considered by many as "the greatest packet trick" and I share that belief. B'Wave may be a classic, but it will never be outdated. Spectators go nuts over this. It's a brilliant multiphase routine. Triple kickers. The tutorial is short and simple, just Max speaking to a stationary camera. The deluxe comes with red queens and black kings. Once you know the method you could theoretically use any card that fits the bill. It takes simplicity to maximum impact. I can't express enough how great this is.
Neal
Incredible! Simple and easy. This absolutely blows people away!
Eddie
4 cards ! 4 mins to learn ! 4 entertaining anyone anywhere ;-] soooo good
Erik
Very cool and the “trick” element pretty much takes care of itself so you can focus on the performance. And Max Maven’s performances are always a treat.
Luciano
B'Wave is one of the best packet tricks I know and one of the few that I actually perform. This Deluxe edition comes with several gimmicks for the effect with an excellent video from Max Maven himself, so you can learn all the details directly from the creator. The video itself is worth purchasing even if you already have the gimmick.
Brent
An incredible Classic close up effect that gets great reactions. I use this many Corporate Close up Strolling events over last 15 yrs or so and it always plays strong.I use a comical routine and make it lots of fun for the guests. Having different card options in this deluxe set is a real bonus. Highly Recommended
Craig
A simple, straightforward effect by Max Maven. Easy to perform if you watch his video and follow his presentation. Nothing fancy, just a shocking conclusion.
The cards are Bicycle and the video lesson by Max could not be clearer.

This is one of my favourite packet tricks. The cards supplied are really good and the downloadable teaching video by Max Maven himself is worth it's weight in gold. A brilliant product at a decent price.
Ridgely
This is, hands down, my favorite packet trick, EDC, whatever. This isn’t a technically challenging trick to perform, the greatness is all in the presentation. But THAT’S the miracle. It’s so wonderful, I just love watching it unfold in my own hands, let alone in front of spectators.
Edward
B'Wave gets great reactions. In my 10 performances so far, people are so amazed that they don't even try to examine the cards. Keeping track of which way the gaff is oriented and remembering the right words to say are the only skills required. When I messed up the orientation and revealed the wrong suit, I passed the deck behind my back to switch the orientation and continued the trick. One spectator said that the suit change was the favorite part of the trick (I might try to do that again on purpose).
David
I've always been a massive fan of packet tricks. This does not disappoint and sooo easy to perform that you can just concentrate on presentation. Always fooling and goes with me everywhere. Just can't believe how long it has taken for me to pick this up! Nice selection of cards supplied too for you to make adjustments to the routine, or if you lose/wear any out. Highly recommend 👍
Andy
When I first learned about this trick I wasn’t that impressed but since so many magicians swear by it I gave it a shot and was pleasantly surprised by how well it’s received by laypeople. It’s been one of my go-to tricks for walkaround for months. I work full time in a restaurant environment and have performed this at least a hundred times at this point; it tends to be a pretty good closer.
Rather than set the cards on the table I put them in a simple minimalist wallet I got from buying a trick called Caterfly. That way I can carry them around easily and open the wallet to display them in a transparent sleeve (I can even stack them in that sleeve in a way that shows four separate cards without showing too much of the face-up card).
The biggest recommendation I have is to watch the tutorial and listen to what he says. The scripting is everything. Try it exactly his way first and then feel free to break the rules if it betters your performance.

I purchased this here at V Inc. I was in hopes of finding something that was a quick opener for my close-up set and something that would set the tone for the rest of the show. I was somewhat skeptical about this effect because of the gimmicked card, but today was the first time I did the effect, and the results were absolutely fantastic! My spectator was blown away. The only thing I did wrong was leave the gimmicked card on the table too long and she grabbed it and looked at it, but she was so godsmacked she never noticed anything wrong with the card. I then took the card from her and put the cards away. I think I'll perform this next in a spectator's hand like Max & Eugene does which is talked about in the video or come up with some better audience management skills. But this is a very strong effect and can't wait to perform it again.
Derek
Highly recommend!
James
A true classic of mentalism that remains just as powerful today. The effect is direct, baffling, and incredibly strong when performed with confidence. The deluxe version feels well produced and performance ready. I love how clean and impossible this feels from the spectator’s perspective. An essential routine that deserves its legendary reputation. It stays in my EDC!
Christopher
Wonderful instructions, Max Maven has been such an influential and essential part of the magic community for years. His tips on performance are what really sell it! The cards are beautiful. I appreciate the surplus of cards, which makes it so very flexible to many performance styles. I could see using some of the extra cards for other effect which is an unexpected bonus. I was performing it for close friends within hours of receiving it, and they commented on how great the effect was, as well as the presentation. A must-have and worth every cent!
Super impressive, easy to perform, easy to learn, and remember. Just get it.
