There was a time when magic dared to be bizarre...
 
When performers spoke of spirits, impossible happenings, strange coincidences and things that could not easily be explained. They created curiosity, unease and excitement.
 
Somewhere along the way, much of that got lost.
 
Step Into The Bizarre is my attempt to keep that spirit alive.
 
These notes are filled with routines, presentations, methods and thinking for performers who want their magic to feel like more than a trick. Material that can make people laugh one moment, lean in the next, and then sit in stunned silence.
 
Inside you’ll find haunted decks, freewill effects, dark comedy routines, pendulum work, envelope work, theatrical multi-out pieces, ghost story structure and practical ideas that can be performed in the real world.
 
These are pieces shaped through performance, refined in front of audiences, and built to create memorable moments.
 
And then there is PK Touches.
 
For years now, I’ve been asked to teach my handling of this effect more than almost anything else. It has become one of the strongest routines I perform and one that people regularly ask to see again.
 
I have performed this routine for thousands upon thousands of people, at tables, weddings, residencies, private events and corporate functions, and over that time I have obsessed over every detail. Every line. Every pause. Every potential problem.
 
Every moment that can turn a good reaction into an unforgettable one.
So in these notes, I’ve held nothing back.
 
This is everything I know about PK Touches.
 
- My full working routine.
- The exact scripting I use.
- How to control the moment before it begins.
- How to keep spectators engaged and compliant.
- How to build each phase for maximum impact.
- How to structure the routine so the audience rewrites what happened in their own minds.
- How to recover when things go wrong.
- How to make it stronger in close-up settings.
- Additional phases, touches, subtleties and handlings.
 
And included throughout are ideas I have never shared before.
 
This is years of real experience poured onto the page.
 
If PK Touches has ever interested you, intimidated you, frustrated you or felt out of reach, this section alone could change that. My hope is that it gives you the confidence to go out and perform what I genuinely believe is one of the greatest pieces of magic ever created.
 
More than that, Step Into The Bizarre is about remembering that audiences want to feel something.
 
They want wonder. They want tension. They want stories. They want the impossible wrapped in something meaningful.
 
If that sounds like the kind of magic you want to perform…
