And what a joy it is to see the master at work. Famed for his sleight of hand, Truglia explains the evolution of cardistry from the toolbox of the gambling cheat to the close-up table of the magician.
If you want to see a specialist skill elevated to the highest level, buy a ticket to the Card Shark Show.
The Stage
Award-winning close-up magician Steve Truglia says no one will leave his Card Shark Show without going "Wow!" and he's right. Enthralling and intriguing, his sleight of hand is clean as a whistle.
Is there anyone better? Truglia's show is truly magic.
