Summary: Magic is an art of illusion, a practice in deception, a training in trickery. People have been entertaining, deceiving, or swindling crowds throughout history with feats of prestidigitation, decorated with salesmanship, dramatic effect, confidence, and charisma.

It is generally accepted today that there is nothing supernatural about magic; in essence, a magician is skillfully conjuring the appearance of true magic through sleight of hand, misdirection, and cunning. This is why many magicians call themselves "illusionists," embracing the idea that the audience enjoys the trick because they do not know how such an amazing feat could have been performed by natural means. In actuality, magic takes a great deal of training and hard work; many performers have been practicing since early childhood.

Whether you are a budding magician, or just a card game enthusiast looking to bone up on his skills, impress your friends and learn some of the many ways to cut and shuffle playing cards. Our expert magician will demonstrate each cut and shuffle, with step-by-step instructions and tips for properly performing them. Tricks include the Hindu shuffle, the one-handed cut, the pivot cut, and the poker shuffle.

About the Expert

Expert: Joe Marshall has been performing magic since the age of three years old when his grandfather showed him a card trick. Ever since then Joe has been hooked.

This all took place before the age of 18. Joe now spends his time performing street and close up magic for spectators across the midwest.
