I don't normally do actual tutorials but made an exception with the karate chop knot. It's something I teach as part my ring and rope routine and is skill rather than sleight of hand. There's a surprise ending too.

This is a really cool trick you can do with a rope, lace or piece of string. With a simple wave and a chop, you will learn to tie a knot in the rope while ho...

I'm gobsmacked! Just received this review on one of the magic tricks I released a few years ago:

This is one of the best mental effects I've ever seen! It will go into my closeup shows from now on. And it is priced at less than ten dollars!

It requires a very simple sleight that every mentalism may do quite comfortably .. though if you use a transparent change bag, you could eliminate the sleight. (You'll understand how once you watch the explanation).

The only slightly negative thing I feel is the explanation that goes on for about 51 minutes; it could have taken 15-20
minutes tops. But even here it is through no fault of the man who created this trick; he is doing his best to explain as fully as he can to make sure everyone will understand it all. This is a virtue for newer mentalists. It only works the other way for seasoned performers, who will "get it" in about ten minutes or less.

But please don't let this point deter you from buying it ... it is a superb effect!!!

I've been booked solid recently and haven't had time to add anything onto this page. This is another 5 star review I got earlier this month after I performed a parlor show for a 60th birthday at a customers house.

"Ste was very accommodating before the event. He arrived on time. We all really enjoyed his performance and he was great with the children. Would definitely recommend to friends"

It's always nice to hear back from happy clients. This is a review after my latest show:

"Bearded Ste was fantastic! we hired his services for our son's 10th birthday party and he was an instant hit with the kids! he was very professional and accommodating and even tailored some of his tricks to some of the birthday boys favourite things.
I would highly recommend Bearded Ste and would not hesitate to hire him again"
