Max Maven is already a legend in the world of magic for his vast output creative magic and mentalism, and his many performances and television appearances.

One of his signature routines, which he has been using to fool magicians and laypeople, is what is now called Pocket Nightmare, and is available for the first time to the magic community.

The basic routine: You tell your audience that you will perform an effect with only one hand, to make sure that everyone knows that sleight-of-hand is not possible. The other hand is placed in your pocket. The spectator peeks at a card in the deck. You are then able to divine the card that the spectator is only thinking of.

The deck is then given to the spectator who is invited to search through the deck for their card only to discover that it completely vanished. You said you would do the trick with only one hand, but you did not specify which hand. You remove your other hand from your pocket holding the vanished selection.

Comes complete with a special deck of cards and an in-depth online tutorial where Max Maven teaches you everything you need to know.
