The deck is placed on the table, and then the magician divines the identity of the card from one of the spectator’s thoughts. No cards are removed from the deck they only exist in the spectator’s mind. Two spectators each think of different cards in the spread. This is Divine and Conquer by Leo Reed.Ī deck of cards is fairly spread between the performer’s hands. Two selections from the spread are merely thought of, yet the magician can name one and produce the other with perfect accuracy and zero sleight of hand.

Solid work from a solid guy." - Eric Meadĭivine & Conquer is one of the most direct demonstrations of mind reading and magic that you can do with a deck of playing cards. I was about to tell Leo Reed he was late to the party when I read his original method, and was tickled to discover he had a different take, coming at the idea from a completely different direction, and had arrived at his own solution that is as direct as it is deceptive. "I can vouch for the effectiveness of Divine and Conquer because I have been performing my own version of this plot for years.

Divine and Conquer is a great piece of magic." - Michael Weber "Leo Reed is a Modernist Chef of magic principles who has skillfully blended a select group of time tested ingredients to create a recipe for deception that will delight you.

Thanks for sharing with us such a masterpiece" - Gaetan Bloom
