You will learn:

The Original Routine, where any letter, number, shape or symbol is drawn in permanent marker in one corner of a sticky-note only to be moved 3 times visibly. The performer then immediately gives the sticky-note to the audience member. There are several distinct variations on this routine which are appropriate for different performance situations.

The Hearts Routine, where two hearts connected by a cupid’s arrow are merged into one, simultaneously bringing the initials of two people together visually. This is generally quicker to perform, but has a high emotional impact.

And finally, Zen Archery, a two-phase routine where the performer first predicts the location of an imagined hole on an archery target drawn on a sticky-note—a completely free choice with no forces or nail writers. Next, the audience member is taught how to move that hole to the bulls-eye magically in their own hand using their imagination.
