In the foreword to Steve Draun's lecture notes, card legend Edward Marlo wrote, "Steve is very discriminating in his choice of methods and effects. All the effects he does are direct and their plots are easily understood by laymen or magicians but their methodology is skillfully concealed from even the most knowledgeable expert." Now, for the first time in front of a live audience, you’ll see Steve Draun, one of Marlo's best and most gifted students, strutting his stuff like a peacock in a tuxedo.
PERFECT COIN VANISH - Watch a silver dollar disappear as if it’s just realised it’s late for a very important date. With sleeves rolled up and hands shown empty front and back (because who wants to be accused of cheating?), the coin makes a triumphant return!
ALL BACKS ROUTINE - A spectator picks a card and—shock horror—it’s got backs on both sides! The performer then shows off the entire deck, which has somehow transformed into a bizarre back-to-back version. But just when you think it’s all gone bonkers, the deck flips back to normal, ready for more magic! (It’s like a magic reset button.)
QUICK CULL - After the spectator has a go at shuffling, the performer finds the Aces with a few fancy flourishes that’ll make you question why you even bother shuffling your cards.
CENTER DEAL - A bluff Center Deal that looks so convincing you might just start doubting your own eyes. (Spoiler: the Aces are not really in the centre!)
COUNTING PUZZLE - Magicians will spot an Elmsley Count, but the outcome still has that “how the blazes did you do that?” vibe. Even your know-it-all mate will be scratching their head!
BLUFF ACES - Fresh twists on Marlo's classic effect that’ll have you wondering if you’ve been doing it all wrong. (Spoiler alert: you probably have.)
TRAVELERS - An updated take on Dai Vernon's classic, employing modern palms and subtleties that make it even more baffling—because why not make it harder on your audience?
COPPER/SILVER - A straightforward yet devilishly deceptive handling of a classic coin trick. You’ll have them questioning reality before you know it.
ONE WAY DEAL - This little gem helped make Steve Draun's name. An ordinary deck gets shuffled by the spectator while the magician pulls off a full house in seven hands of 7-Card Stud Poker. (Because who doesn't fancy a bit of poker face?)
TOPSY TURVEY - This is Steve Draun's take on a trick created by Marlo, included in his Riffle Shuffle trilogy. Most would argue it’s the best of the bunch—so you know it’s worth your time!
BONUS MATERIAL: CUT, PASS, CHANGE & SQUARE WORKSHOP - Get ready to learn some advanced card techniques from the master himself. Though a bit of a challenge, these moves, including work on running cuts, the Thumb Pass, the Mercury Change, and squaring a squared deck, will have you turning heads and raising eyebrows (in a good way) in no time!
