Masterclass 1: Stand-Up Magic with a Twist: November 2, 2025 (4pm ET | NYC Time)
Instant Camera Card
A standout from Helge’s 1991 FISM act, co-created with Thomas Fraps. Instead of finding a signed card the usual way, you snap a Polaroid of the spectator’s thoughts. Three seconds later, their signed selection appears in the photo, complete with their signature. Helge also shares his handling of Paul Harris’ overlooked Flip Plop Flop control.
Flip Flap Flourish Production
Another FISM act highlight. Inspired by a Roberto Giobbi production, this sequence is a stylish four-card production, ending with a card appearing on the table, even though your hands seemingly never touch it. Helge also describes his “Flip Flash Flourish” from The Flicking Fingers Book.
The Snowshoe Switching Sandwiches A multi-phase sandwich routine that is designed to be performed on stage. Based on work by Michael Ammar and Daryl, Helge builds this into a parlor routine that gives you the chance to include tricks you already perform in a memorable ten-minute card act.
Better Safe Than Sorry 3 A full twelve-minute closer with escalating impossibilities. Two cards are found using a version of Hiro Sakai’s “Band on the Run,” one penetrates a handkerchief, and the finale ends with a signed card folded into quarters inside a sealed, transparent plastic box, secured with rubber bands. This is a masterpiece in construction as Helge demonstrates how to set up an incredibly fooling ending as the routine progresses.
