Stewart James is one of the most prolific creators in all of magic history. He created over 2,000 magic tricks in his lifetime–many of which have become “classics.” All of Stewart’s best creations have been published in “Stewart James in Print: The First Fifty Years” and “The James Files.” The books total over 2500 pages across three volumes. No matter if you’ve been in magic for decades or just a few months, odds are, you’ve encountered one of Stewart James’s creation’s.

This project is dedicated to taking Stewart’s material off the page and putting it into action.

Episode #2 uncovers “Remembering the Future” (originally published in 1947) and its variations.

Remembering the Future – The principle that started it all! It’s an unbelievable mathematical principle which doesn’t seem possible, and yet, it works every single time.

Remembering the Past, Present, & Future – Madison brings his own take to Stewart’s original effect further hiding the mathematics and turning the great principle into a true performance piece.

The 50% Solution – Stewart found a way to perform this same effect with only ten cards. Disguised as a card game between you and the spectator with an end they won’t see coming.
