Jasper can perform 10 different magic shows.

To see why, we can use the multiplication principle of counting. Since there are 2 choices for the card trick and 5 choices for the coin trick, we can multiply these numbers together to find the total number of possible magic shows:

2 card tricks × 5 coin tricks = 10 magic shows

To calculate the number of different magic shows Jasper can perform, we need to multiply the number of options for each trick together.

- For the card trick, Jasper has 2 options.
- For the coin trick, Jasper has 5 options.

To find the total number of different shows, we multiply these two numbers together:

2 card options x 5 coin options = 10

Therefore, Jasper can perform 10 different magic shows.
