“In an era where many magicians pay lip service to Erdnase, Bob White continues to be the embodiment of that book’s teachings.” – Tom Gaudette

The Flash Double A very clean and practical method for doing the double lift. Jamy Ian Swiss said it was the “most natural, unassuming, and convincing” double lift he had ever come across. 



The Fingerprint Card Trick An updated handling of the classic sucker effect that happens away from the pack. A simple, direct effect that has been in Bob’s professional repertoire for several decades.



The Ambitious Classic Revisited A refined reworking of the Ambitious Classic that uses the ace, two, three and four.



A Simple Coin Vanish A simplified and natural method for vanishing a coin or small object. Based on Charlie Miller’s coin vanish.



The Lie Detector A great version of the lie detector plot performed with cards. This is a perfect trick to complement the Fingerprint Card Trick.



Bluff Aces Bob White’s handling of the classic Marlo Ace routine.



The Sponge Bunnies One of the most powerful tricks in close up magic. Bob has done this trick in every close up performance he has performed for over fifty years. A refined handling- including tips on managing the trick and presentation.

Bob White has been performing magic for over seventy years including over 40 years as a full time professional magician. Bob gave his first day-long seminar in 1996 titled It’s a Matter of Style. This seminar focused on the hallmarks of Bob’s magic: simplicity and uniformity of action. In 2005, he released his first DVD on magic, Practical Card Palming, to critical acclaim. This was followed by highly regarded DVD’s on the Chinese Linking Rings, the Cups and Balls, the Torn and Restored Tissue Paper, the Malini Egg Bag, and Card Magic.



Bob received the 2010 Performing Fellowship from the Academy of Magical Arts for his outstanding contributions to the field of performing magic. During his time in magic, Bob benefited from learning from some of the most legendary names in magic- Dai Vernon, Charlie Miller, Don Alan, and Karrell Fox. Bob is looking forward to sharing his knowledge of the craft with the audience at Penguin Magic.
