One of magic’s best think-of-a-card routines is now available at Vanishing Inc.

"'Tsunami' is the best damn card trick since Out of This World!" Dennis Marks

“Tsunami” is a devastating effect created by the legendary Bob Farmer. It uses an ingenious principle that, over the years, has been expanded to its fullest potential by many legends in magic. Now, you can learn the original routine, plus all the best variations, in one amazing download.

The core “Tsunami” effect features you and a participant engaging in a fun game of “mental poker”. They think of a card, and you place a series of “bets” as you attempt to uncover its identity. You not only eventually reveal the exact card but hit them with a stunning kicker ending that proves you were 10 steps ahead the whole time.

No luck or chance. No sleight of hand. No gaff cards. Just a normal deck and a wildly-clever principle that enables you to perform miracles without any hard work.

This download is the ultimate collection of everything needed to get the most out of “Tsunami”. Andi Gladwin breaks down the simple principle before teaching you the complete routine alongside many other variations and ideas— including a borrowed deck version that Andi and Bob have used to fool magicians for years. That amazing routine is a masterclass in being way ahead of the audience.

"A collection of unusual mental/gambling routines based on ingenious principles that some top names have raved about, and been badly fooled with. The magician that bothers to learn 'Tsunami' will have an anywhere- anytime game of Psychic Poker that will destroy laymen." Jeff Busby

Exclusive Bonus

“Tsunami” also comes with a bonus ebook from Bob Farmer himself. On top of offering more variations and ideas, this special 39-page ebook takes a deeper dive into the principle and its evolution.

"Buy this now or die of regret when your buddy blows you away with it" Rick Johnsson, Linking Ring

"One of the most delightful conceptions in card magic. This is something not to be missed by the intelligent magician." Peter Warlock, Abra

Customer reviews for Tsunami

Carl
Bob's concept is really, really clever and Andi's teaching is world class. This is one of those perfect downloads in that you get the video, the ebook, and some very clear teaching.
Steven
Had the original manuscript and worked this up to the point of trying it...but was doubtful it would work. Watching Andi's very eloquent performances and explanations (not to mention the updated e-book version of Bob Farmer's original with adds), makes this worth the modest price AND prompting me to watch the Tsunami wave wow my audiences.
Ralph
I am glad that Vanishing Inc. made this book available again and brought the trick and concept back to attention. Thank you very much! The video teaches the method very well.
Jay
Bob Farmer's creative magical mind is at work! Andi Gladwin's clear and enthusiastic teaching and demonstrating puts it into practice! It's a marvelous combination that yields powerful effects for your repertoire. Involve one to three participants, have them do most of the card handling, put your money on the line (and into the story)-- you'll win the audience respect AND get your money back!
Gregory Glau
I'm kind of embarrassed as I had this booklet when I was younger and never appreciated how strong the effect (and whole concept) is. I love getting an e-book along with a teaching video. I especially liked Andy's teaching toward the end of the video using a borrowed deck for Tsumani and the "extra" of a new method (to me, anyway) of forcing a card. Well done, and thanks VanishingInc!
Dustin
Brilliant trick. Self-working, which is my favorite, and a lot of avenues to take it for presentations.
Edwin
Brilliant thinking and a wonderful concept that every magician should know.
Gregg
This is a very simple yet deceptive effect, which should probably should be more as a powerful technique. It is easy to learn and set up. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The mnemonic for remembering the flow of the questions is simple and easy to remember. The PDF book adds extra value and information. The impromptu version/borrowed deck version is extremely powerful.
The key to creating a good effect using it is the story and presentation. Overall, it can be used in many creative ways – let the imagination run wild. For example, I use a DMC Elite marked deck. This allows for everything to be done with the deck face down – moving a face card to the top of the deck, setting up the two cards on the top of the deck, and removing the final selected cards. Taking the cards out face down adds to the impossibility of the final reveal.
Suitable for all skill levels.
Larry
I have been doing this effect for years it is a fooler and very easy to do I bought the original years ago anything from Bob Farmer is worth a look
Charles
The principle used in this trick is genius! Although it might sound complicated, the simplicity makes it easy to recall the various steps. My preference would be for the spectator to cut to the card he selects, for I know that personally, whenever I am shown a deck of cards I automatically look for a pattern, and besides, cutting to a card is even more random than making a choice. Five stars!
Claude
The first time I viewed the demo video, I had formed an assumption as to the method and I was not impressed. I rewatched the demo and realized that what I thought was happening was not.
I decided to purchase Tsunami and I am extremely pleased with it. This is one of my go to presentations when asked to do something.
Andi's teaching is top notch for Bob Farmer's brilliant method.
Thank you Bob Farmer for releasing this and thank you Andi for such a great tutorial.
Luke
Love it

  • Allen asks: I seem to be missing the trick. To me, it seems that the magician is simply asking a series of questions and gets the card right based on narrowing the selection down from the spectators answers. And the royal flush kicker is just a hand that the magician chose to add that part on. Can someone please explain what it would look, like to a spectator beyond simply fishing for answers and getting the idnetity of the card through elimination? Thanks!

    • 1. Sean responds:All, this particular presentation (while wonderfully presented by Andi) is not the strongest application of this principle. To be honest, I was a bit sad to see Tsunami being offered here as a download. It is a true gem. The principle is brilliant and there are versions that are much more subtle. The method literally begs for us to apply in a myriad of wonderful ways. If you have the slightest bit of creativity, this will be one of your best purchases this year (or I will buy you a doughnut). Elegantly simple and brilliant, typical Bob Farmer.
    • 2. Sean responds:...to be clear, I have not bought this video download. I have owned the Tsunami printed booklet for eons. I am assuming you get that as a PDF as well. V.I. can correct me if I am wrong.
    • 3. Allen responds:Hmmm. Sounds like worthy of a more in-depth look. Thank you!

  • Wayne asks: Can you post a video of a performance for tsunami? It’s hard to see what the effect is from the little video teaser ad. Thanks.

    • 1. FLY (35312) Diego responds:I Agree, a full performance of the trick is much better
    • 2. Will responds:Look again, read the description as well… I believe at least one version of the trick is already posted below the description.
