When I finally found out how he did it, I was so much more amazed. I wanted to run up and tell people, “do you know that he actually did THIS?” It’s mind-blowing!

In less than a quarter of a minute, no matter what the condition of the cards, and under the guise of what appears to be a casual stroll through the pack. The Roadrunner Cull allows you to cull multiple cards incredibly quick. Reds separate from blacks. Face-up cards melt apart from the face-down ones. It happens faster than you can believe.

Inside the course

Three hours, ninety lessons, every detail covered.

  1. Ninety lessons, about two minutes each.

    Over three hours of content, cut so you can find the one detail you came back for instead of scrubbing through a single long video.

  2. The move stops needing your attention.

    Once your hands can run the cull on their own, you can look up and pay attention to your audience, which is when card magic gets its strongest reactions.

  3. Slow enough for a beginner, deep enough for a worker.

    Kostya explains every step from the start, and includes the subtleties an experienced magician came here for.

  4. Lifetime access, updates included.

    Everything in the course now, plus anything he adds to it later. You buy it once.
