Search and Destroy By Aaron Fisher
As magicians, we project an air of mysterious, hidden ability. Our audiences are envious of this power, and their secret is that they wish they could do what we do. Search & Destroy gives them that opportunity — in a fun, entertaining, and completely self-working way. And yet without offering them a single clue as to how it’s all done!
The plot is simple: the slow-motion sandwich effect. A card is selected and returned to the pack. Two kings are placed face-up near the top and bottom of the pack — they move in toward the center, one step at a time, until only one card is trapped between them. Of course, that one card turns out to be the selection. But here’s the rub: the entire effect happens with the spectator holding the cards! Better yet, this trick is all but self-working. If you can control a playing card, you can perform this miracle.
•Virtually self working; allows you to concentrate on learning the touches and nuances that turn this trick into a miracle
•Audience tested thousands of times
•Widely considered the best sandwich trick of all time
•Any deck, anytime, anywhere

“John is one of the busiest performers I know. If he is sharing his knowledge on how to book more shows, then you should take it.” - DAVID KAYE, AKA “Silly Billy”

And no one knows the ins and outs of the birthday party business like John Carlson. From routines, performing, and travel, to the vitally important business side of things, John Carlson KNOWS how to make a consistent six-figure income doing what you love while sleeping in your bed every night.” - JULIAN FRANKLIN

John gives it all away – He hides nothing and that tells me he is a confident enough businessman to offer his wisdom to others.
