  • Nikola Arkane with Penn and Teller on their magic TV-show "Fool Us" in Las Vegas (USA).
    This performance piece is based on the work "Card Percolation" (2013), which in turn is conceptually inspired by "Colour Filter", a little known item by Alex Elmsley (1998).

    i like that you're different Nikola, just the entire personality and way you do things, refreshing to see someone who isn't just a copy and has her own personality and style.

      All I want in life is to make people see the world differently around them and I use magic to do that. I began this journey performing magic for children and now I'm trying to find my way in doing that for adults too. Life is so much more fun when we can let go of things and imagine. Thank you this means so much reading this.

    Great trick and presentation. I like the simplicity and straight forwardness of it, it makes it seem more impossible. I thought I knew how this trick was done, but then what Penn said, I thought mine wasn't the right one. Thought about it more and I'm pretty sure I figured it out. It's a good trick that I'm sure other magicians would want to perform.

    • @NikolaArkane

      Not everyone will get it but I like it and that's all that matters. I want to perform the magic that I like to create and this really has everything in it. If I knew when I began magic that I could do a performance at this level I would have said no way! Original material, Scripting, body movements, interaction, sleight of hand all whilst being terribly nervous in front of my biggest heroes well, that is an achievement in itself! Thank you Ottar for all your support!

    A great act it is, Nikola! Witches are a nice thing. I love them. In Bulgarian, the word also implies they have knowledge and capabilities which others don't. I've seen very beautiful witches too. Sadly people were jealous and burned them. It's a shame to destroy something so nice.

      The tarot deck was invented in the 15th century for card games. They weren't used for "fotune telling" until the 18th century and charlatans invented a false occult backstory for the cards to make people think they had magic powers. Satanic rituals aren't real. That's just make-believe by con men.
