Wouldn’t you be interested? I was intrigued by the idea of separating a sucker from his money. Perhaps they knew a way to make the ATM machine give you twice as much money without getting caught.
Imagine if someone told you they knew a way to spot the winning scratch-off lotto tickets before they bought them. What initially drew you to card cheating techniques and gambling-related card material? It’s the fantasy behind it. Plus, as I got older, I didn’t want to be some weird guy that carried around sponge balls in his pocket. I learned to always carry a deck of cards with me. Right away I realized the value in knowing lots of card tricks. I noticed that when I was asked to perform magic on the spot, I couldn’t perform any of the tricks I bought in the magic shop because it was all in a box at home. The first book I bought was Expert Card Technique, which was my first introduction to strong card magic. While the interesting-looking magic props in the store fascinated me, the books in the shop caught my eye as well.
Has your interest always been all sleight of hand with cards, or have you dabbled in other types of magic? When I first started out, I had all the usual magic props like cups and balls, linking rings, production boxes, and sponge balls.
JASON LADANYE CONFIDENT DECEPTIONS PROFESSIONAL
I knew right there and then I wanted to be a professional magician. There’s one trick that I’ll never forget from that performance: he vanished from inside a box on stage and instantly appeared on a motorcycle in the middle of the audience - right next to me! I just couldn’t believe what I was seeing and feeling. Soon after that, David was performing at a theater near where I lived and my mother surprised me with tickets to the show. Watching him walk through the Great Wall of China and making the Statue of Liberty vanish had a profound effect on me. About a year later, I saw David Copperfield on television. I began my journey into magic immediately after that moment. Then he snapped his fingers and now they were on top of the deck. He buried the four Aces into different parts of the deck. How old were you when you first got interested in magic? I saw my first card trick when I was seven years old.
