Masterclass 1: April 5, 2026 (4pm ET | NYC Time)
Silk and Coin Opener
Blink, and you’ll miss it! Henry proves that his hands are quicker than our eyes, as a coin and a silk change places at a lightning-fast speed. It’s fast, it’s visual, and it’s a killer opener.
Four Aces, One Handed
Henry cuts to four Aces one-handed. When he repeats it, this time with the spectator shuffling, he’s still able to find them, just this time in his pocket!
Signed Card to a Spectator’s Pocket
Henry steals a signed card from the spectator's pocket and then makes it travel back, invisibly!
Trapped Signed Card
A signed card is lost in the deck. Henry has the spectator shuffle, and then springs the cards into the air. He reaches into the cards and plucks out the signed card. This one had us practicing it right away!
Mental Power
Five cards are removed from the deck and shuffled by a spectator. They remember any card. Henry then reveals the card they thought of and then shows them something very surprising: The other four cards are blank, as is the rest of the deck!
Rope Catches Cards
Henry has combined the classic rope through the body illusion with a card stab!
The Spectator Does Everything
A spectator reverses any card in the deck, and it matches the card that is reversed in Henry’s deck. But can they do it again? Of course!
Masterclass 2: April 12, 2026 (4pm ET | NYC Time)
Pyramid of Aces
A fun and dynamic way to produce four Aces. This is one of Henry’s favorite ways to open a set.
Impromptu Finding a Four-of-a-Kind
A masterclass in improvisation and the Trick that Can’t Be Explained.
Windows to the Future
Despite the cards being fairly shuffled, Henry predicts the number of cards selected, the cards, and the order they’re in.
3-2-2-3-3-2-2-3
The spectator tries to shuffle the cards, but no matter how much they do, they end up in New Deck Order.
Coincidence of Pairs
Without ever touching the deck, all of the cards find their mates.
Three Card Monte (Close-up Version)
A quick, direct, and fooling three-card monte routine with a brand new method. Henry teaches a close-up and stand-up method.
The Top Card
Perhaps the fairest Mystery Card plot you’ll ever see. The spectator makes all of the decisions until only one card is chosen. And Henry has had a prediction in plain sight the entire time!
Two Card Transposition
A seeming mistake turns out to be how Henry finds two selections.
Interweaving and Separating Colors
An Oil and Water routine that gets better and better and better!
Winning at Poker
No matter how fair the situation, or how many chances the participants get, Henry always wins at poker.
Double Prediction
Henry places a prediction at a very specific place in the deck… which matches the number that the spectator names! But that’s not all. When they count to that number in another deck, the cards match too!
The 3 Cards Together
Three selections come together in the deck. The first time is funny, but the second time is incredibly magical.
Blackjack Intuition
Despite a fair procedure, the spectator continues to get perfect blackjack hands.
Static Energy
A card is selected and shuffled into the pack. Henry then uses static to eliminate most of the cards. The remaining cards seem to be magnatized to his hand, but on Henry’s command, they drop, leaving just the selection.
Gypsy Thread Flash
Henry’s Gypsy Thread routine has a fiery ending!
