Lumino - Thomas Badar

Lumino - Thomas Badar

Blackpool 2025's sold-out product.

Lumino by Thomas Badar is the strongest memorization effect we have come across. If you haven't experienced the foolery feeling this trick gives you, stop reading this description and watch the trailer.

With Lumino, you can memorize the deck that the spectator has examined and shuffled in ten seconds, then recalls the red and black cards without failure.

That's not all.

In the strongest version of the trick, during the performance, it looks as if a single card has been dealt to the wrong place but at the end of the trick, it turns out to be the spectators chosen card. The spectator can shuffle the cards. The trick is easy to do and can be performed after 20-30 minutes of practice.

You don't need to look at the top card to tell the color. You don't have to touch the top card to tell the color. You don't need to use your memory to tell the color. You don't need to use a table to do the trick.

The trick is auto-reset.

Lumino is truly clear and also leaves the viewer with a feeling that they have just seen something that very few people can do, that of pure skill-based memory. But that is not true. The trick is easy to do and you can leave your memory at home, as you won't need it!

Thomas has found something that is unique in card magic. With Lumino, you can tell whether the next card in a shuffled pack is red or black without having to memorize it, see it or touch it. By eliminating these three things, solving the trick becomes seemingly impossible, even though that is what is actually happening.

Thomas spent 10 years working on his memorization effect and finally found Lumino. This trick has been a regular feature of Thomas' solo shows and has been broadcast on television several times.

Now is your chance to perform it yourself. Enjoy the trick.
