What You'll Be Able to Do
You'll walk away with a set of reliable, professional routines that work in almost any situation. Whether you are performing for a group of friends, at a casual party, or on a stage, you’ll have a mix of card magic, rope restorations, and classic visual illusions that you can perform with confidence. You won't just learn "tricks"—you’ll learn how a working pro connects with an audience and keeps them engaged from the first second to the final reveal.
How It's Structured
This course is built for results. You’ll dive into specific, modular routines that Borja Mazorriaga uses in his own professional career. We start with essential card techniques like the Debex, then move into full-deck triumphs and color-changing effects. From there, the course transitions into parlor and stage work, including rope and ring routines. Every lesson is designed to show you not just the moves, but how to put them together into a seamless flow.
What's the Difficulty
This is designed for the amateur who wants to perform real-world magic. Most of these routines require a solid foundation in card handling, so if you are comfortable with basic controls and shuffles, you'll be set. Some routines use sleight-of-hand that requires regular practice to make smooth, but Borja breaks them down into logical steps. Expect to put in some time practicing the choreography of the routines so you can focus on the performance rather than your hands.
About the Instructor
Borja Mazorriaga is a working professional based in Spain who has spent over 15 years performing in every type of venue imaginable. He isn't a theory-only teacher; he’s a "worker" who stress-tests every move in front of real audiences every week. He knows how to adapt to a room, handle a crowd, and recover if something goes sideways.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I skip around or should I watch in order?
You can skip around, but if you're new to the specific moves (like the Debex), it’s best to watch the card lessons in order. The course is designed to build your confidence, so starting from the beginning helps you keep that momentum.
How much practice between sections?
It depends on your current level. Spend enough time on the individual moves (like the sleights) so you don't have to look at your hands. Once the moves feel natural, you can spend your practice time on the "patter" and how you talk to your audience.
Is there a way to check if I'm doing it right?
The best way is to film yourself on your phone. When you watch the playback, don't just look for "mistakes"—look at whether your performance looks natural to a layperson. If you feel hesitant, you need more practice on that specific sequence.
What if I get stuck on one part?
If a move feels clumsy, slow it down. You don't need "fast" fingers; you need "smooth" fingers. Go back to the specific lesson, watch Borja's finger positioning, and try to match the rhythm. Often, the struggle is just about finding the right tension in your grip.
