The End?
Wow.
Here we are—7 days, 20 hours, and 100,000 words later!
What a ride.
Before you unbuckle your seatbelt, let me recap what we went over in this course.
Without further ado, here is your ‘official’ highlight reel for the Skyscraper Method:
Module 1: The Babylon Secret
In this module, we introduced you to your new best friends—the memorized deck, the Skyscraper theory, and our ‘Babylon secret’ method for memorizing a deck of cards—which Jacob did Live on air!
Module 2: The Square Circle
In this module, we ‘leveled up’ and introduced you to the ‘Square Circle’—the 4 core category of effects that your memorized deck can produce (and powerful effects for each of those—including ‘the most powerful thing you can do with a deck of cards.’)
Module 3: Greasing The Hinges
In this module, we got deep into why it’s essential your mem deck ‘skyscraper’ has a perfectly greased elevator—and 8 methods for doing that (along with more of our best effects.)
Module 4: The Steel Skeleton
This module was a big ‘un—you discovered the power of the faro shuffle, the ‘steel skeleton’ that powers our memorized deck, and the stunning breadth of effects we can accomplish with this move (plus a method for doing this move that’s so easy…your audience can do it for you!)
Module 5: The 20th Floor
In this module, we pushed the limits of our memorized deck with brand new concepts and innovations, along with a masterclass on the ‘Holy Grail’ of card magic.
Module 6: The Ghost Protocol
In this admittedly ‘wild’ module, we went crazy and experimented—seeing what kind of ‘unconventional’ routines we could come up with. The result was definitely something special.
Module 7: Unlocking The Horizon
In this module, I introduced you to my greatest invention, the Final Countdown, along with my craziest idea yet—building an entire ‘city’ of memorized decks!
That’s a very broad overview of what we covered. But you can dip back into each individual module as you please to get more ‘deep’ into those topics.
Now, before we close this out, let’s try something…
Picture yourself walking down the street of a busy city.
You see a soaring skyscraper to your right. It’s a beautiful design that looks nothing like the regular, rectangular blocks you usually see.
Curious, you push open the door and enter the skyscraper. It’s warm and atmospheric inside. You hop in the elevator, and watch the floors as you seem to float up.
…
87?
How did you get there? You barely noticed the time passing. Before you can blink, you’ve arrived at the viewing platform.
You glide out of the doors, your legs seemingly carrying you along, and look out on the city from the top of the building.
It’s a beautiful day, at there’s no better way to catch the sunset than watching from here. You explore the various angles, and settle on your favorite. You relax as the sun goes down over the skyline, feeling relaxed, comfortable…and awestruck.
Maybe it sounds corny, but that’s the experience we want our memorized deck to give our spectators. That’s what this is about.
Remember—the whole reason we decided to invest in learning how to use a memorized deck was so we could provide a better experience for our audiences.
That’s what this has been about.
Now it’s time for us to explore HOW to best do that—together.
It’s been an honor to guide you through this course, but really…
…my work is just beginning!
Folks, let’s get to it!
These skyscrapers aren’t going to build themselves…
