Welcome To The Magic Portal

My name is Steven Schneiderman, and I've been involved in magic for over 40 years. The Magic Portal is part of my contribution back to the art of magic, the greatest art in the world. Stick around and learn a little about my friends, my effects and methods, and the "Ruminations" and "Rants" that you've read in GENII and Magic Manuscript over the years. 

Product Reviews

Over the years I have tried to review just about everything I have ever purchased, and I've published these reviews online at MagicReviews.com. The reviews include close-up, stage, cards, coins, mentalism, books, DVDs and even lectures I have attended

New Releases

Meir Yedid has re-released my effect, Card Marx. You show four aces in a spread, and one at a time, the aces turn over as you open and close the spread. For the climax, you reveal the cards have marks on them and show the backs now have pictures of the Marx Brothers on them! See the video below:

We Recommend This Effect

Any Card at Any Number

The Holy Grail Of Card Tricks

The Deck is out at the start
A number is named
A card is named
The magician does not touch the deck
The Spectator deals the cards to the chosen number
The thought of card is at that number.

A great method to perform this fantastic effect.
