The Workshop

Step right in, ladies and gentlemen... push open this old wooden door. The Workshop is now open for the delight of young and old alike!

Welcome to the incredible world of crafting magical gimmicks.

A one-of-a-kind project

This box opens the doors to the well-hidden world of magical handiwork. Composed of a book, a set of trick cards, and all the materials needed to create gimmicks, this project is not only for skilled builders. Don’t know how to split a card? Build a Flap? Imagine your own effects using trick cards? This box is made for you.

Jordan Victoria will guide you step by step to build Flap cards, magnetized cards, Split cards, and much more. This box gives you access to all of Jordan’s experience, gained over many years. Lovers of handiwork, it is with generosity and humility that he invites you into his Workshop, the first magical handiwork box!

“The Workshop” is not a project like the others. The book included in this box, The Studio, is the very first manual for handiwork lovers of magic. High-quality colour photos worked down to the smallest detail, astonishing hand-drawn diagrams, and a scrapbook-style layout will help you better understand all the subtleties of gimmick making.

Master the art of magical creation

In addition to the book, the box includes all the necessary materials (The Toolbox) to begin building gimmicks and a set of Bicycle trick cards (The Stationery) allowing you to perform many gimmicks.

In this book, you will find 3 gimmicks explained in detail, enabling you to perform 3 exceptionally stunning effects. With Mask, you can make any prediction appear on the back of a card. The gimmick is always ready and requires no preparation. A revolution in this type of effect!

You will also find the Trip gimmick, which allows a truly astonishing presentation of Daniel Madison’s Angle Z effect! Finally, Transfer Machine 2.0 will let you completely change the colour of a card’s back. A simple visual effect to set up.

Jordan Victoria invites you to discover his gimmick workshop. For 16 years now, he has created his own tricks, whether for personal use, a specific client request, or for magicians. You will find his research, personal techniques, notes on materials (glues, elastics, magnets...), and various reflections.

It is known that it can sometimes be difficult to understand the techniques for making a gimmick by simply reading a written description. That is why the book includes 26 QR Codes linking to videos made by Jordan Victoria himself, allowing a better understanding of the techniques.
