Special Forces operators have a slogan: “Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.”

The same applies to card magic.

Dennis Kim's Ephemera is an assembly of smooth visual moves.


"I PASS THE TORCH TO DENNIS" - TONY CHANG

Dennis Kim

TRICKS

  • PORTRAIT OF ESCHER - Dennis' favorite trick to perform. By concentrating on a freely selected card, all other card faces vanish. Then, the card they thought they saw is the ONLY blank card in the deck.
  • EPHEMERA - A Blackjack pair vanishes completely, but before your spectators mind can accept it as fact, they instantly arrive back in your hands. A 'WTF' moment. 
  • SILK ROAD - This gets the #1 spot for us and is worth the price of admission. A 4-to-1 transposition that's 100% dirty and ludicrously bold but looks SOOO good. Instant must-learn. 
  • PARTING - Calling all move monkeys. Oh, there you are... Parting (as seen in the trailer) is a double sandwich routine that moonlights as a 4 card location effect. Get out the band-aids. Your fingers are gonna hurt after this. 

SLEIGHTS

  • DPS - The diagonal palm shift is one of the most useful and under-utilized steals in magic. Dennis teaches you a way to pull it off invisibly. Without obvious finger movements. 
  • JECHT LIFT - Okay, we'll be honest. We thought this was a single card flourish when we saw it. Are you fooled too? Dennis teaches you this perfect double turnover where the cards stick together like glue. 
  • KNUCKLE PALM - A variation on the Erdnase palm technique that uses no breaks and no get-ready to flawlessly palm a card from the bottom of the deck. 
  • VERNON TRANSFER - Switch 4 cards for 4 cards whilst turning the deck over. Dennis' take on Vernon's famous transfer is almost like an optical illusion. The motion and move are dance partners. 

+ BONUS TIPS on the pinky count, palming & sleight-of-hand angles.

In over 40 minutes of expert tuition, Tony Chang's protege flips the lid on every move, trick & tip he has ever created.

No secrets, no holding back. Everything laid bare.

Pure, unadulterated sleight-of-hand.

Alexander ★★★★★

The download only runs about twenty minutes but I've rewatched the assembly section four times already, catching new finger placements each pass. Dennis explains the why behind every beat instead of just showing it, which is rare in magic tutorials.

Richard ★★★★★

The pass Dennis teaches is so clean it almost looks like the card melts through the deck. I've been doing card magic for years and his pacing finally made my sleights feel effortless instead of rushed.

Richard R. ★★★★★

The "slow is smooth, smooth is fast" mindset really shines through every move here — it's less about flashy speed and more about those clean, unhurried visuals that actually look deceptive. Exactly the kind of smooth, practical work I was hoping for.
