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
