Why 'Coincidencia' is a Must-Have Closer
Juan Tamariz eloquently states, 'Coincidencia shows Jim's ingenuity, wisdom, and creativity. It's perfect.' This effect has been honed over 20 years, fooling even seasoned magicians like David Solomon, who confesses, 'It fooled me when he originally performed it for me and it still takes me in today.' Rafael Benatar praises its 'solidly structured and highly deceptive trick, with the devious Krenz treatment.' Jon Racherbaumer provides a historical perspective, noting the trick's pedigree from Ed Marlo and Martin Nash, finessed by Juan Tamariz, now 'perfected' by Jim Krenz. These endorsements highlight not just the trick's incredible deception, but also its elegance, robust structure, and the legacy it carries within the world of card magic. Prepare to add a truly impossible and memorable routine to your toolkit that will define your performances.

What we all seek in the close-up arena are closers. Logically, you can only close your show with one trick, but we hope you’ve come to the same conclusion that we have: our time with audiences is short, and every trick you do must be a closer. If it isn’t hard-hitting, it has no place in your show. So, with that in mind, we give you Coincidencia, which is acclaimed magician Jim Krenz’s closing piece, and the kind of trick that is so utterly impossible that your spectators will remember it forever.
