After my lecture tour in 2025, I decided to finally release three of my favorite routines that I’ve never shared anywhere before. In this download, you’ll learn three real-world effects taken directly from my working repertoire. Each routine is practical, easy to understand, and designed to create strong, memorable moments for your audience.
1. Deja Vu Ambitious
A visual twist on the ambitious card built around a time-loop storyline.
You begin by showing a single odd-backed “mystery card” in the deck. This card is removed and placed safely inside your wallet.
The spectator then selects a card. No matter how clearly you place it into the deck, it keeps jumping back to the top — as if time itself is looping.
They sign the card, and the effect continues. The signed card rises again and again.
For the finale, the signed card is lost in the deck one last time. You “reset” the moment, and suddenly the mystery card — the one set aside at the very beginning — reappears inside the deck. When it’s turned over, it is revealed to be their signed card.
This routine blends the classic ambitious plot with a mystery-card structure. I’ve always loved the concept of déjà vu, and I wanted to design a routine where the moment visually resets — like time looping back on itself.
** We recommend pairing this routine with the Modern Z Wallet, as shown in the demo. However, alternative handlings without the wallet are also taught.
2. InstaGrab 2.0
Produce anything from a spectator’s phone — visually.
This new principle allows you to produce a card, coin, bill, prediction, or any small object directly from the spectator’s phone screen. No special app. No website. No setup on their device. And you end completely clean.
InstaGrab 2.0 is an evolution of the original concept from 2015. While the index is not included in this download, the routines work perfectly with the full InstaGrab system, which includes the special cards and index needed for the complete handling.
3. Anniversary 2.0 Lite
A modern, streamlined version of the Anniversary Waltz plot.
This Lite edition offers a practical, visual take on the classic. Patrick teaches you how to perform his simplified version of the routine with any double-facer, leaving the audience with an unforgettable, meaningful moment.
For a more visual handling of this routine, please see Anniversary 2.0, which includes specially printed cards and a gimmick for a clean vanish and fusion effect.
