The Opener (Parlor Version) by Adrian Vega

For the first time ever, The Opener is ready for bigger stages!

After more than a decade of real-world performances, Adrian Vega’s acclaimed The Opener has been redesigned for parlor and stage, bringing this powerful effect to larger audiences while preserving everything that made the original so popular.

It begins with a funny, engaging gag before you produce a single folded card from your fingertips.

Your spectators freely think of a number and any suit, creating a playing card entirely in their minds.

No force. No equivoque. No fishing.

You slowly unfold the card...

It is exactly the card they thought of!

Direct, visual, and incredibly easy to understand, The Opener creates an impossible moment that can now play for an entire room.

Originally developed in 2013, the routine helped Adrian become Spain’s Champion of Card Magic and has since been performed by thousands of magicians worldwide, including professionals such as Mat Franco and Jorge Blass.

The Opener has also appeared at major magic events and venues including FFFF, FISM and The Magic Castle, as well as on television stages including America’s Got Talent, Britain’s Got Talent and Penn & Teller: Fool Us.

This isn't simply an effect that sounds good on paper. The Opener has been tested, performed and refined in real shows for more than a decade.

Now Adrian has created a dedicated Parlor Edition, allowing you to deliver the same impossible moment in larger performance environments.

Small in your hands. HUGE on stage.

Despite the strength of the effect, The Opener is surprisingly easy to perform and designed to go straight into your working repertoire.
