Five Card Opener (Pro Package)

There's no better way to inject fun into your show and energize an audience than with Bill Abbott's "Five Card Opener". This is your secret weapon for beginning every performance with unstoppable momentum.

Bill has cleverly re-imagined the classic five/six card repeat to feature a fresh, three-phase approach that immediately hooks your audience and builds towards a surprising climax. It has been Bill's go-to opener for years. He's performed it for audiences of 10 to 10,000, everywhere from corporate events to college gigs, family shows, and more.

Most performers often struggle with choosing an opener. The first routine of a show sets the tone for an entire performance. It also usually needs to answer a variety of questions like: how do you get their attention?; how do you hold their attention?; how do you amaze and entertain them?; and how do you all this at the same time? The "Five Card Opener" is Bill's answer to these questions and so much more.

And the best part? It's so easy to do, you could put it in your show the next day.

A Perfect Audience Engagement Tool

"The Five Card Opener" guarantees to have your audience engaged and excited within the first two minutes. More than just an opener, it's an audience conditioner. It trains your crowd to react naturally and enthusiastically throughout the show, making every applause cue feel effortless and fun.

Offering a verbal trigger that elicits a response every time, this routine has a built-in callback that can shape the energy of every show. The best part is it's fully customizable; so you can have them shout corporate slogans, school cheers, company names, birthday shoutouts, or whatever you need.

Put simply, Bill Abbot's "Five Card Opener" is your secret weapon for beginning every performance with unstoppable momentum.

"The routine is as close to self-working as one can be (can you count cards from one hand to another? That's it!). The focus is on the presentation and personality. It truly is an opener. Finally, a Five Card Repeat trick that works! You get your money's worth here!" Harry Murphy

"Simply brilliant and not priced high enough!!! I perform weekly in a 1,700-seat theater on a cruise ship. I have the audience chanting my name over and over by the end of my opener. What a great feeling to have a group of that size screaming your name in unison..." Malcom "Puck" Puckering

"Bill's 'Five Card Opener' routine ,and thoughtful explanations on the instructional video, are PRICELESS!
