The Dead Man’s Hand is a legendary piece of folklore that immediately resonates with people. Billy ‘The Kid’ is a name synonymous with the Wild West and arguably the most famous name from that era. Combine them, and you have the recipe for great stories… and more importantly… great magic.

The Dead Man’s Hand by Mark Bennett and Matthew Wright is a masterpiece in both magic and storytelling. The props are beautiful, and the routine that supports the magic is captivating, fascinating, and entertaining.

The Dead Man’s Hand comes in two sets.

– The standard set comes with a small drawstring pouch resembling an American marshal’s. Inside the pouch is Billy “The Kid”’s bounty coin, plus THREE different reveal coins that allow you to perform the effect multiple times with a different result each time. You also get full access to the complete Dead Man’s Hand Tutorial, featuring multiple routines by both Mark Bennett and Matthew Wright, where you’ll learn more about the history of the Dead Man’s Hand story and the life of Billy “the Kid”, which you can use to weave your own magical Wild West story. The tutorial includes routines suitable for all skill levels, from someone starting out on their first day as a beginner magician to more advanced routines for the seasoned performer. It includes effects for magicians, card handlers, and mentalists, plus Matthew’s complete 12-minute routine that covers everything taught in the tutorial.

– The limited “Special Edition” set comes with everything you get in the regular set PLUS much more!

The incredible “Dead Man’s Deck”, meticulously designed and aged to mimic an authentic Deadwood Saloon deck:

– The type of deck that may have been used by Wild Bill Hickok in the Deadwood saloon on the night he was shot while holding “The Dead Man’s Hand”.

– An old photograph showing Wild Bill sitting next to Billy “the Kid” playing cards. Wild Bill is holding “The Dead Man’s Hand”.

– An old wanted poster for Billy “the Kid”. The poster has been specially designed and manipulated to prompt your spectator “onderbewust te beïnvloeden” to choose one of the three manipulated reveal cards.

– A larger drawstring bag from an American marshal that holds all the props.

Access to the download “The Ninja Stack”, which can be used in combination with the “Dead Man’s Deck” to create some amazing gambling routines that help build the overall effect before you get to the main trick.
