A Game of Life & Death by David Parr (Video+PDF)

A Game of Life & Death is a playfully macabre piece of close-up magic in which someone from the audience is invited to play a game of cards with the Grim Reaper. It’s like a little one-act play, a refreshingly different card routine that engages the audience in a fun and suspenseful narrative.


Care to join the Grim Reaper in a friendly game of Cut the Cards? Take care: the Reaper has played this game many times…

What’s this? You’ve won! A mortal has cheated Death!

But there’s a secret to reveal: the Reaper knew the outcome of the game before it even started!

No sleight of hand. Quick reset. And a cool souvenir for your participant to keep: the Reaper’s calling card! Complete script, instructions, and printable props included. Ebooklet in PDF format, viewable on any platform. Download instantly!

“Easy and fast reset, no sleights, just good presentation of the interesting, different script. Highly recommended.” — The Linking Ring
