Now You See Me Interview with Jesse Eisenberg

Watch this exclusive interview where Andrei Jikh interviews Jesse Eisenberg… or does Jesse Eisenberg interview Andrei Jikh? Well, it’s a little of both!

Jesse Eisenberg stars in the upcoming magician heist film Now You See Me. Catch it in theaters May 31st, and watch the interview above to learn about the movie, the magic, and the playing cards used in the film: our very own Monarchs!

Eleven Madison Park has been ranked #5 on the World’s Top 50 Restaurants.

Since early 2012, theory11 and Eleven Madison Park have been working together to make a little magic happen in New York City. Our unique collaboration has been featured in The New York Times and New Yorker Magazine. The reception has been extraordinary.

As San Pellegrino put it, ‘Card tricks at the table, but the real magic is in the food.’ There’s no doubt that both magic and the menu make a winning combination for international recognition.

If you’re in NYC, plan a visit to Eleven Madison Park and enjoy a table side routine performed with Silver Monarchs. Inspired by three card monte card scams on the streets of New York City, the presentation adds a tasteful (pun intended) surprise to an already unrivaled dining experience.

Imagine being able to identify the color of face down cards. In the spectator’s hands. After the deck is cut – and shuffled. From a NORMAL deck of cards.

Based on a concept originally published in 1958. A spectator holds 10 cards face down in their hand. You’ve never seen the cards, yet you can identify the color of each one with COMPLETE accuracy. EVERY time. It seems impossible – but it’s simple to learn and extremely powerful.

Watch the trailer. Now available for immediate download.

Originally published in 1897, the Herrmann Pass is a technique for secretly transposing two halves of a deck in order to control a card (or cards) to the top or bottom of the deck.

Jason England, one of the industry’s leading card mechanics, goes over extreme detail to cover nearly every aspect and nuance of the move and it’s history.

This is a move that’s both versatile and invisible. Trust me, it’s something you’re gonna want to learn!

See the Unseen. Know the Unknown. Do the Impossible.

Have the spectator think of a name, a number, or drawing – anything. They write it on a piece of paper, fold it, and put it in your closed fist. This technique was designed to eliminate every possible flaw. The ONLY time the paper is in your hands, it is in your CLOSED fist. Your head is turned away. After the prediction, all trace of evidence is ERASED. No one is the wiser.

Within seconds, you INSTANTLY know the secret information concealed within. From the mind of Bedros “Spidey” Akkelian, the ultimate billet peek.

You gotta see the trailer to believe it.
