Magic Tricks

Jason Dean is a fun guy, talented drummer and accomplished card magician. You will not believe how much knowledge he has about cards for such a young guy.

His breadth of knowledge about cards is surpassed only by his talent with the pasteboards in his hands.

For years, I focused solely on performing parlor and stage magic. While I cut my teeth on sleight of hand many years ago, I got away from it. With a walk-around gig coming up in about four months, I decided to revisit Jason Dean's lecture because I remember how impressed I was with him.

Like Howard Hamburg's incredible lecture, Jason will make you fall in love with cards, or if you are like me, fall in love with them again.

I will be performing his Solo Aces and Gone Fishing effects in my walk-around gig. How would you like to do a one-handed four ace production with minimal sleights? Solo Aces is that effect.

Gone Fishing is hard to describe, but it is a visual masterpiece. After a little bit of fun with a spectator and his selected card, you push it into the middle of the deck, and it comes to the top. You clearly show it came to the top of the deck. Then you talk about how you will make it appear on the bottom. You drop the face-up selected card onto the face-down deck and in an instant you show the deck has reversed itself. The selected card is indeed on the bottom.

There are so many wonderful effects in this lecture, including a version of Triumph that appears to workable without a lot of knuckle-busting.

If you want to expand your card repertoire, then do yourself a favor and snag this lecture. You will be so happy you did.
