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.

Devil in the Deck is a decadent world of delightful magic, breath-taking adventure, and torturous sleight-of-hand card tricks. Whisking you into the twisted world of Jack Swindle, a man that makes his living at dealing cards and cheating death.

Paul Nathan, a magician and storyteller, plays the notorious Jack Swindle. Nathan weaves you in and out of his tale while never nodding to the fact that most of these antidotes branch from his real life escapades. He has lived a life uncommon and makes each moment into a modern day fairytale. Guitar player John Anaya accompanies Paul on stage, creating the soundtrack to romance, heartbreak, and exploration through his blues and jazz infused tunes.

Paul pulls you into Jack's life making you feel every sensation; drawing you into countless adventures. He runs with the bulls in Pamplona , and you feel every vibration of the hoofs of these raging animals as you run along side him on the cobble stone streets. He falls in love with the beautiful Lizette, and you begin to love her too; you can smell her perfume and you bask in the light of her beautiful smile. When he becomes a dealer in a casino, 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. You play, you win, you play, you lose, never the less you play and slowly you become unable to remember a time when you didn't play this game. The Devil is the story. Tempting you at all times to seek out more passion and whispering in your ear "adventure is all you need". He inspires you to reinvent yourself and to create your own story. This show reminds you that what you risk reveals who you are.
