Written in the Cards by Jamie Daws

A killer new effect that’s perfect for performing for couples.

Weddings, first dates and anniversaries are occasions thousands of magicians worldwide perform at every day. They have one thing in common… couples! The magic market has very few routines ideal for couples and even fewer that are designed from the ground up for such an occasion! Written in the Cards is a super commercial routine built specifically for couples and can play for the smallest or largest of audiences!

You ask your spectators if they have ever seen those ‘personality readings’ in magazines before introducing a page torn from a magazine. On it is a ‘Couples Compatibility Test’.

The aim of the game is for each person in the couple to take a playing card blindly from a shuffled deck and then to check their selections against the compatibility test. When they do, not everything seems quite right until a shocking twist brings them to their happy ever after! At the end, you can giveaway the magazine page so they can share it with their friends and family!

Using a topical, relatable hook, gorgeous props, an emotional, impactful finale and built in comedy, “Written in the Cards” is the ultimate couples effect! Whether you’re trying to break the ice on a first date in a restaurant or wanting to do a stand up piece as an upsell at a wedding, Written in the Cards fits in your pocket but creates massive reactions!
