NATHAN KRANZO IS BACK with an ALL NEW LECTURE

***CLOSE UP Miracless***

The MOOD Deck MIRACLE
Remember the old "mood rings" from back in the day? The color of the ring would change, depending on your "mood".
A spectator merely thinks of a card, as well as a color and an emotion tied with that particular mood.
The magician incredibly reveals what mood they are feeling by simply touching their finger.
And for the amazing finale...when the spectator touches the deck, the deck is immediately spread and one card in the center has changed color!
The exact color they are thinking of. When the card is turned over...It is the exact card they have had in their mind the entire time!

52 GONE
Probably the cleanest and most visual vanishing deck you will ever see. See the Demo HERE

Stand up Triumph
This is a cool version of DAI Vernon's classic TRIUMPH card effect that is not only funny, but super visual, and can be done standing "in the hands" with NO table.
See the Demo HERE

THE OPENER COIN ROUTINE
This is a routine that Kranzo uses as an opener for small groups.
It combines visual magic with comedy and Kranzo uses this routine to talk about the psychology of social dynamics while simultaneously teaching some seriously strong Coin Magic.

Moneyball
This effect will astonish a four-year-old and a 94 year old. A quarter visually transforms into a rubber bouncy ball and can be immediately given away. See the Demo HERE

***STAND UP and Parlor MysteriesS***

Repetition
This was nominated for trick of the year in 2021!!! This is Nathan's modern take on "six card, repeat". A stand-up card routine that can be done for a small or large audience, young or old, with built in comedy and a surprise ending. Oh and it's self working. See the Demo HERE

GAGS GALORE
Kranzo will teach several bits, gags and effects from his classic books Comedy For Magicians and Mentalists. See the Demos HERE

***FOR THE MENTALISTS***

THE TRU TEST/MAGAZINE TEST
Take any modern magazine and perform a MIRACLE.
Imagine if you could perform the Mother Of ALL Book Tests with a page from a MAGAZINE! See the Demo HERE

****All this and much MORE!!!!!!!!!
