Par Jason Ladanye
Livre en
anglais, 240 pages, avec DVD de démonstration.
Confident Deceptions
is our latest hardcover release-240 pages, over 150 full-color
photographs, with dustjacket. It is the stunning debut effort from
Jason Ladanye, one of Darwin Ortiz's star protégés. The material is a mixture of magic and
gambling demonstrations, and in each of the eighteen
routines, Ladanye demonstrates his ability to maximize the impact of an
effect. Some of the effects are quite challenging, but each one looks
absolutely impossible.
Ladanye studied under Darwin Ortiz (who provides a praiseworthy
introduction to these pages), and Ortiz's impact is evident in the
offbeat nature of the plots and the clarity of the magic.
You will learn finesse points on moves you already know, as well as
polished material ready to be inserted into your own card programs. In
the magic marketplace it no longer makes financial sense to spend two
years producing a comprehensive hardcover book. It's a good thing we
don't care about that! This is a beautiful book worthy of careful study
and the book was written with the same care and precision that goes
into all the great works of magic.
To really understand a performer you need to see him perform for a live
audience and therefore, we have included a 20-minute performance DVD
featuring some of the highlights from the book.
"A master of artifice, ruse, and
subterfuge at the card table. Within these pages is offered up some of
the finest constructions I've seen, masterfully routined for maximum
impact and pure entertainment in the tradition of Darwin Ortiz and
beyond." – Jack Carpenter
"A superb technician, the very
definition of a professional performer... this material will absolutely
delight connoisseurs of strong magic." – Andrew
Wimhurst
"A cardician whose passion for
the subject is second only to the uninhibited skill he has worked hard
to achieve. He brings a refreshing perspective to the subject. His
material and virtuosity sparkles with raw power and energy."
– Michael Vincent
