“Dude who fooled me the most with cards: In 1991, it was Spain’s Juan Tamariz; In 1992, it was Sweden’s Lennart Green; In 1993, it was Chicago Conjurer Jim Krenz.” - Dan Garrett

“Jim Krenz was my personal favorite due to his very likable character and absolutely astounding card work. He brought the house down with his signed cards routine.” - Erika Larsen

“I literally saw jaws drop at Krenz’s multiple signed card revelation.” - Hiawatha

“When I was a child, I was fascinated with the magical emotion that I felt upon watching magicians. I could not comprehend anything—what I would see was impossible; now I love to feel this emotion. It does not occur very often. Normally, I can see behind the curtain—I see the “hidden” secrets and the mechanics. But from time to time a magician performs a trick, or several tricks that seem impossible—and the magical emotion returns. This happens to me with Jim Krenz (how wonderful!). For this, thank you Jim!” - Juan Tamariz

What will he teach?



Los Angeles Opener Jim’s version of the Chicago Opener, which makes the routine directly relatable to the audience.

Devilish Divide Jim’s version of Marlo and D’Amico’s classic, named Devilish Miracle.

A Well-Cut Suit Jim’s version of Jumbo Coincidence, wherein the cards are really shuffled, but still match!

All Expense Paid Trip Jim’s cards across routine, done completely in the audience’s hands!

NeoMix Jim’s version of Oil & Water, with an ending that surprises everyone!

Pen Through Anything Jim’s handling of John Cornelius’ Pen Through Anything, which changes the effect from a penetration into a torn and restored miracle.

Ripper Jim’s torn and restored card—when Juan Tamariz saw it, he described it as his favorite version.

Dracula Goes Wild Jim’s Wild Card, set to a horror story.

Imp-Load Jim’s technique for loading a signed card into a card case under the full observation of the audience.

Coins-A-Cross (“Featuring the one behind principle”) A coins across routine that will inspire you to reassess classic principles in magic.

Invisible Triumph A self-working triumph that fools magicians and laymen alike!

Great Lecture! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 16th, 2015
If you are looking for sound, well thought-out, well constructed, and well choreographed magic then this lecture's got it. The routines are foolers, for even seasoned pros and the explanations are clear and concise. (unlike many other lectures we have seen)

This is top-notch material from one of the great pros of our craft.

Get this, you will not regret it.

I went out and did the card across effect and blew them all away. I was surprised by how easy it was to do and kicked myself for not knowing it sooner. I've always done a similar effect but most observant spectators called me out for touching the cards. Krenz's method totally fixes it by putting the action completely in the spectators hands. It's one of those effects that convinces people you've met the devil and learned his ways. Genius!

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 16th, 2015
A 4 1/2 hour lecture with fooling and entertaing card tricks. All the tricks on the list were taught with a few extras. With most of the trick explantations their was some discussion about the why of a trick, and this is what made the lecture worthwhile. I haven't heard much about this magician (except for a reference in Mnemonica). But after this lecture I just want to know what other things this man is capable of.

There are a lot of mentalism lectures right now, thats why I have a AAP, most interested in that, so I just wanted to look the first five minutes what this is, never heard of Jim Krenz before, so I was almost watching the whole lecture. Pure entertainment, Top professional, funny, structured, Top explainations. Close up at its best. Highly Recommended. Thanks Jim! Buy it!

Packed with spectacular wisdom, history, and variety Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 27th, 2021
What a terrific lecture by someone who does not lecture enough! I appreciated the breadth and variety of his effects, his attention to practical details, and most importantly, his humility and approach to addressing a mistake during performance. He acknowledged we all make them and will make them - his candid thoughts on how to recover and learn from them is priceless and worth the price of this download alone. His credits for all his effects served as a history lesson. Jim has a wonderful background and is an example we can all learn from. Thanks Jim! Hope to see more lectures from you!

Excellent Close-up Magic Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 17th, 2015
Jim Krenz is the real deal. If you are into close-up, you will love this lecture. Some effects are perfect for the beginner, while other are better suited to more advanced card manipulators. Most of the material is perfect for table hopping.
