Enter the decadent world of delightful flim flam, breath-taking endeavors, and torturous sleight-of-hand magic. Magician, Paul Nathan (HBO, MTV, Start Trek Voyager) plays Jack Swindle, a con man cursed at birth by a bad tarot reading. Jack spends his life cheating at cards and cheating death to break the gypsy curse. Adventure, and fate intertwine while John Anaya creates a lush musical soundscape that envelops you. Paul and John weave each moment into a modern day fairytale.

Paul pulls you into Jack's life. You experience every sensation. Jack John Anaya plays music for the best magic show at the edinburgh festival fringe runs with the bulls in Pamplona, you run next to him and feel the vibration of the hoofs through the cobbled streets. He falls in love, you fall in love too. You feel the heartbreak of every loss and the exhilaration of every win. And you realize-all you want to do is play his game. This show reminds us that what we risk is who we are.

$1,000 challenge

The best magic show at the Edinburgh Fringe just got better. Bring a deck of your own cards and Paul will do any magic trick in the show with them or give you a grand. Although this challenge is meant for the show we will accept this challenge at any time during the festival.

Conditions for the thousand dollar challenge:

The specifics of the challenge are simple, reasonable, and fair. The star of the show will perform or repeat any of the best magic tricks in the show with any deck presented to him provided it is ungimmicked, standard size, and in reasonable condition. If Paul can not perform or repeat any trick in the show with the pro-offered deck he will arrange for the immidiate transfer of $1,000 to the challenger. With this in mind, we will accept without question or condition any standard sealed poker or bridge sized deck (so long as the cards don't stick together). Jack reserves the right to refuse any open deck for any reason (like sticky cards, missing cards, ripped, broken, or mutilated cards).

The is one exception to this challend is CardToon, which uses a standard deck with drawings on every card. Obviously this deck is prepared before the show and can not be set up on the spot. Seeing the trick will make this obvious. Also, the challenger agrees to relinquish the deck to Jack and may not get it back.

DVDs, CDs and Posters available at the show.
