“What I like about Giftism is how everything has meaning behind it. Every part has a reason, and the method disappears because you're caught up in the fun of it. It's an actual worker and resets fast, which matters when you’re working tables night after night. I've played it for people young and old, and everyone enjoys it. It really pulls them in.”

“Giftism gave me something fresh to perform that really connects with people. Everyone I showed it to had fun and walked away smiling. I liked how it let me play around and add a bit of acting to each reveal. It’s the kind of routine that keeps things engaging for both me and the audience.”
– Kevin Smith, BlackSmith Magic

“I brought Giftism to work and ended up performing it for about eleven people in two days. Every reaction was strong. What I love most is that it’s repeatable. I performed it six or seven times for the same person and she was still impressed! The method feels natural, not like you’re doing math, so I can just focus on performing and enjoy the moment when the magic happens."
– Kaden Hoefs, Strolling Magician

"I've been performing Giftism for different age ranges and it's been really fun. The personal angle with the gift shaking story makes it feel real and keeps them engaged from start to finish."

“I performed Giftism during a show last week and it just clicked. The pacing, the reactions, everything felt right. Since then, it’s become something I carry with me because it fits any moment when someone wants to see something special.”
– Kevin Rosewood, Parlor Magician

“Giftism's become my pre-show go-to. It connects because everyone relates to the idea of shaking a gift and trying to get a sense of what’s inside. I’ve done it for kids, families, adults, and it plays well each time. With just a few cards I get great reactions that feel like real magic!”
– Michael Ianneo, Children's Magician

“I had early access to test Giftism before its release, and I’ve been working with it for close to a year. It’s fun and engaging, and it brings that nostalgia factor you see in the best Deuce Gala products.
The method is completely hidden in the design and presentation, and even though it relies on a known principle, this is my favorite way to use it because everything makes sense. It feels right, it flows, and you don’t even need to see anything happening to know what they’re thinking. But more than that, it creates a connection and gives you and your participant something to experience together.”

“I’ve been using Giftism in my strolling sets for a couple months, and it’s been a joy to work with. It creates instant connection, brings a warm sense of nostalgia, and gets strong reactions. The method uses a classic mentalism principle, but the gift shaking presentation makes it relatable because everyone has given or received gifts. That shared experience pulls people in.
The last phase is my favorite. I’ve had guests gasp when I reveal their thought-of gift. It’s a solid way to build rapport, get laughs, or create meaningful conversation. I highly recommend it.”

“Giftism begins with a tradition everyone is familiar with, so it gets them involved right away. The gift-shaking presentation is fun and refreshing, and many people don’t even notice a trick is happening because they’re caught up in the experience.
I really enjoy how much room there is for improv during the reveal, and how afterward, it’s very easy to open up interesting conversation by talking about the gift they had in mind.”
– Joshua Ray, Creator of Lucky Ladybug
