Unleash the Power of 'Nick at Night': A Masterpiece of Mentalism
Prepare to captivate your audience with 'Nick at Night', Craig Logan's ingenious creation presented by the esteemed Patrick Redford. This isn't just another magic trick; it's a profound journey into the human mind, blending the nail-biting suspense of Russian Roulette with the classic misdirection of Bank Night. The result is a bold, unforgettable piece of mentalism that stands out in any repertoire, whether you're performing on a grand stage or enchanting a virtual audience. Patrick Redford himself states, 'Craig Logan's Nick at Night is the only item in my show that I didn't create. I love it' – a testament to its unparalleled impact and masterful construction.
The Unforgettable Performance: Tension and Triumph
'Nick at Night' begins with a simple setup: a small group of numbered envelopes held casually in your hand. The drama unfolds as audience members actively participate, calling out numbers of envelopes to be discarded. With each selection, you dramatically crush the chosen envelope and toss it aside, heightening the tension with every passing moment. The audience's choices dictate the path, leading to a single, unchosen envelope remaining. What lies within this final, solitary envelope? A shocking, very real razor blade is carefully tipped out, its sharp edge glinting under the lights. The blade is then used for a final, dramatic flourish, slicing the remaining envelope into pieces, solidifying the breathtaking impact of the routine. The interaction, the suspense, and the powerful reveal combine to create a deeply memorable experience that resonates long after the performance ends.
Versatility, Impact, and Audience Engagement
One of 'Nick at Night's' greatest strengths is its incredible versatility. Is it the perfect opener, immediately grabbing your audience's attention and setting a high bar for the rest of your show? Or is it the ultimate closer, leaving them with an indelible impression and a gasp of astonishment as they leave? The choice is entirely yours. Its robust design ensures it's equally potent in an intimate close-up setting, a grand theatrical performance, or even a virtual show, maintaining its thrilling intensity across all mediums. Craig Logan's brilliant fusion of two iconic plots creates not just a trick, but a genuinely engaging psychological experience that draws every spectator into its web of suspense. With 'Nick at Night', you're not just performing mentalism; you're crafting an unforgettable moment of pure, unadulterated awe.

Whether you're performing live or virtually, Nick at Night is bold enough to open a show. It's also strong enough to close an entire show with.
Craig Logan has blended together two plots to create the perfect piece of mentalism.
Here's what happens:
A group of numbered envelopes are held in the performer's hand. Audience members call out the numbers on all but one of those envelopes. After each envelope is selected, the performer crushes it into a small ball with his bare hands and tosses it aside. When the remaining envelope is opened, a very sharp (very real) razor blade is carefully tipped out. It is then used to slice up the remaining envelope for a dramatic finish.
Is Nick at Night the perfect opener or the perfect closer? You decide.
