DEVIL in the DECK

Acclaimed magician Paul Nathan's outrageous tales of Love, Magic, and Adventure. John Anaya's stylish and moving music. Devil is an elegant blend of stories, music, and enthralling close-up magic. Three Weeks only - Climate Theater

8PM Thursday, Friday, Saturday - January 15-31

Devil in the Deck will be presented at the world famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. This is your last chance to see it before it leaves.

Devil in the Deck is a decadent world of delightful magic, breath-taking adventure, and torturous sleight-of-hand card tricks. Magician and storyteller, Paul Nathan, plays the notorious Jack Swindle. Nathan weaves you in and out of his tale while John Anaya creates a soundscape that envolopes you. Paul and John turn each moment into a modern day fairytale.

Paul pulls you into Jack's life making you feel every sensation; drawing you into countless adventures. He runs with the bulls in Pamplona . You feel every vibration of the hoofs as you run next to him along the cobbled streets. He falls in love and you fall in love too; you can smell her perfume and you bask in the light of her beautiful smile. You feel the heartbreak of every loss and the exhilaration of every win. You realize that all you want to do is play his game. The Devil is the story. This show reminds you that what you risk reveals who you are.

Paul Nathan (HBO, MTV, Star Trek Voyager) stars in the enthralling blend of magic and stories. Directed by Drew Letchworth (Mrs. Doubfire, the right stuff, Twisted). Music by John Anaya.
