 – vanishingincmagic.com

Caleb Wiles is a two-time Penn & Teller Fool Us performer known for his incredibly hard-hitting, efficient magic. His creative thinking and structured magic have made him one of our favorite close-up performers. In his first Masterclass, Caleb will give you a peek into his strolling set by showing you three battle-tested routines honed over thousands of performances. 

In his second Masterclass, you'll get to see Caleb's house party set. Caleb has kindly agreed to share his full, uncut close-up show, which he performed at the 654 Club at the iconic Chicago Magic Lounge. It's a blockbuster, thirty-five-minute act packed with smart construction, clever transitions, and callbacks that keep the audience leaning forward, laughing, and completely off-balance in the best way possible. Caleb will break down not only the tricks, but the theory and structuring behind them that make them work.

The “Caleb Wiles Masterclass” contains two full-length lectures accompanied by high-quality performances of the routines and the necessary supplementary materials. A special section is also provided for you to submit any questions you have while watching. Those questions will then be answered during a special Q&A interview that will be recorded and uploaded to your account.

Masterclass 1: How to Be a Strolling Assassin: October 5, 2025 (4pm ET | NYC Time)

Caleb's Layperson Opener Caleb opens his Masterclass the same way he opens his strolling set: with his opener! This mini act transforms the world's most popular card trick into a jaw-dropping miracle. You'll learn:

• A deep dive into the magician in trouble plot---what most performers are missing, how to fix it, and how to unlock all the upsides without the usual pitfalls
• Real-world tips for the Classic Force
• How to secretly plant landmines that later explode into real miracles
• How to put work into the deck ahead of time using Caleb's favorite secret weapon---a simple tool that sets you up for miracles before the trick even starts

1000-Timer Card Under Box A crowd-killing routine that builds on the opener with even more callbacks and comedy. It's a rollercoaster of misdirection with a surprise that ends with a punch to the brain they never see coming. Every beat is choreographed to take the heat off the secret action, giving you the confidence to be bold without getting caught.

Strolling for Jack A case study in layered method and forward-thinking construction. Every beat sets up the next miracle. As the audience reacts, you're already three steps ahead, quietly building to the next impossibility. By the time they catch their breath, it's already too late.
