Principles of Destruction by Ben Seidman

"I'm speechless."-Mat Franco

"I witnessed Ben Seidman destroy an audience of knowledgeable magicians and their discerning spouses with 'The Principles of Destruction'. The routine is fantastic, but the principles are priceless!"-Karl Hein

The Principles of Destruction is Ben Seidman’s ultimate audience-shattering routine—refined over years of real-world performances.

This multi-phase masterpiece starts with a chosen card rising from the deck in a brilliantly deceptive way. The card then vanishes from their hands, only to reappear beneath them. But the real kicker? A torn corner is kept as proof while the rest of the card vanishes—only to reappear in another spectator’s pocket, a perfect match.

Seidman’s expert use of dual reality, seamless blending of powerful effects, and practical handling make this more than just a trick—it’s a mind-blowing experience.

Everything is taught in a beautifully produced hardcover book with precise illustrations, plus a bonus video with expert insights. Perfect for stage or parlor, this routine is adaptable for audiences of any size with minimal props.

Master deception at its highest level with The Principles of Destruction.
