captivate
The most miraculous playing card in a cap
A card is selected, signed, or simply seen. Then the performer picks up a completely empty baseball cap, turns it over, shows every angle, and in an instant, the chosen card appears inside it. No folds. No boxes. No awkward props. Just a clean, visual moment of real magic.
CAPTIVATE is a modern reinvention of the classic card-to-impossible-location plot, built for today's audience and today's phone camera. Each gimmick is precision-made by hand by designer WangZhe, engineered to be reliable, deceptive, and remarkably easy to handle. If you can gently tilt a cap from side to side, you can perform CAPTIVATE. No need to be a "hat person" either: borrow a cap from a spectator, load on the spot, and you're ready to go again in seconds.
Designed to be performed live and to play everywhere, close-up, stage, parlour, and social media, CAPTIVATE gives magicians a stunning, self-working reveal that resets fast and hits hard.
Available in two versions:
BACKER, for performing with a signed card
FACER, for performing with a non-signed card

SHOP MY OTHER EFFECTS
You ask a participant to join you in a ritual to test their intuition. You start by asking them to think of a card and also to choose a card. The question is… are there any similarities between the cards? Maybe they’re both red. Maybe the same suit. Perhaps even the same value? You then tell them exactly what card they chose and exactly which card they thought of. It looks like real mind-reading.
The spectator thinks of any card and spells to it. Did they get it? Either way, you now know the identity of the spelled to card AND the thought of card.
The kicker? Everything is completely blank, and examinable.
No switch. Available now.
Under a wine glass lays a folded card. The spectator answers questions, ending on a single card. You have predicted the exact amount of second it took them to decide on their card. Then, you remove the wine glass and show that single folded card is the exact card they named!
A truly invisible move. Available now.
With the cards in clear view, you give the deck a gentle wave, and half the card disappears. Another wave, and the remaining cards vanish, leaving you with just one card. You can even make it so it's their selected card.
"Level One" allows you to visually, gradually vanish a deck of cards until you're left with just one card. And this card is completely examinable.
A utility tool so powerful, it caught the attention of the best minds in magic. A vanishing deck effect like no other, where they see the deck vanish bit by bit ending with just one card - their signed card.
Make a deck disappear. Available now.
INCREDIBLE - An Invisible Deck Effect
You already know the problem with the classic Invisible Deck… Not only do you have to carry 2 decks (1 gimmicked and 1 normal), you also can’t hand it out.
You get the big reaction. The stunned silence. The slow realisation that their thought-of card is the only one face down. And then—
“Can I see that deck?”
Game over.
Incredible fixes that.
I’ve created a streamlined Invisible Deck effect that lets you perform a similar miracle… and then hand them the deck. They can shuffle. They can examine. They can try to find the secret - but they never will.
WHAT MAKES INCREDIBLE... INCREDIBLE?
It’s not just examinable—it’s a NORMAL deck.
After you reveal their card, you casually remove the two jokers, secretly ditching the gimmicks. Now you’re clean.
It’s stupidly easy.
No complex moves. No tricky sleights. Just drop the gimmicks into any deck, and you’re ready to fry minds. Meaning you can now perform an invisible-deck-esque effect with the same deck you do all your other tricks with.
Prediction play built-in.
Show a single card at the start. They decide on a card. It matches. Every. Damn. Time.
Bonus: Brainwave included.
Incredible allows you to perform the Brainwave effect with the same setup.
This is the Invisible Deck with no more awkward “I can’t hand it out” moments. No more barriers between you and your audience. Just pure incredible magic.

The cleanest
mind reading tool.
Right in your pocket.
Have them think of ANYTHING.
They imagine it at the end of the their fingertips... Moments later you tell them what it is.
