Mark Strivings – The Master Move

I ?rst came up with this about 20 years ago. Once I started using it, it became clear to me that what I had discovered was incredibly powerful. In the decades since then I have only revealed the secret to one other person. I have made it a point to use this sparingly around other magicians and mentalists, although in hindsight I’m not real sure why I bothered. The move itself is practically invisible and it’s almost impossible to get caught or to see through it somehow. For those magicians and mentalists who have been fortunate enough to witness a performance that utilized The Master Move, I was rewarded with bewildered shakes of the head. These were well-posted performers who use the SUC themselves, and yet I had just put them in the weeds using a device that they know. It was most gratifying. That said, deceiving magicians is not my goal in life. Entertaining the masses is. But if you are going to call yourself a mystery performer of some sort then you owe it to your audience to fool them hard. The Master Move adds an invisible layer of deception that creates utterly impossible effects. Master this move and you will turn what is already a deadly weapon in the SUC into a silent assassin that leaves no survivors. My mom was right. I have the gift for hyperbole.
