At the Table Live Lecture with Jason Ladanye – September 21, 2016

Jason Ladanye’s magic philosophy is refreshingly straightforward, focusing on original plots rather than complex sleight of hand. In this lecture, he will share effects from his acclaimed book, Confident Deceptions, as well as new, unpublished material from his upcoming release, Game Changer. Attendees will gain insights into powerful and practical magic that leaves a lasting impression on audiences.

Here’s a glimpse of the effects Jason will demonstrate:

• Nick of Time: A thrilling race to find 8 cards within 60 seconds, keeping spectators on the edge of their seats until the very last moment. This effect utilizes a standard deck and is perfect for any setting.
• Ladanye’s ACAAN: Witness a stunning display of card tracking as the performer follows a chosen card’s position through shuffles and cuts, ultimately causing any card to appear in any position without any false moves. This effect will leave laymen convinced of your card skills.
• The Big Stack: An engaging gambling routine where Jason stacks Queens, Kings, and Aces in just two shuffles. Even those unfamiliar with poker will find this routine captivating, and the audience reactions are unforgettable.
• Game Changer: A simple two-card game against a spectator takes a surprising turn when you cheat in an unexpected way, flipping the odds in your favor.
• Forging Ahead: A unique take on signature transfer effects, where a spectator’s initials move from one card to another’s face. This effect is not only powerful but also easy to perform.
• Lucky Charms: A folded card, visible from the start, ultimately reveals itself as the spectator’s signed selection, with an ending that takes everyone by surprise.

Along with the mechanics of each effect, Jason will delve into topics such as effect construction, audience management, misdirection, and maximizing the impact of every performance. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from a master in the field!
