Masterclass Live by Jason Ladanye (1-3)

Jason Ladanye has published two hit books with Vanishing Inc: Confident Deceptions and Game Changer. Both zipped out of print and received great critical acclaim. Why? Because Jason combines prodigious sleight-of-hand with engaging presentations, and the result is, truly, game-changing. Ladanye is the ideal Masterclass guest instructor because he's qualified to speak with expertise on a range of important card techniques. But he's also a professional performer and a great engineer of magic routines. So he can offer us full, commercial routines, and talk us through the underpinnings that make them work.

Week One: (October 3rd 2021, 4pm ET)

• "Collectors Piece" - four aces find three selections in a deck under the spectators hand!
• "All in the Hands" - a short and sweet blackjack routine that ends with a spectator holding a freely named selection.
• "The Set-up" - you offer to teach the spectator a simple trick but you leave them with a huge mystery.
• "Hold ‘em Hustle" - a stacking effect where you stack any two cards from any position in the deck and, along the way, also stack the aces for yourself.
• "The Art of War" - You play the classic card game War with your spectator. No matter how much you mix the cards or try to get the spectator to win, they can’t. The cards just insist that you win every single time.

Week Two: (October 10th 2021, 4pm ET)

• "The Gathering"- a simple collectors plot that’s perfect for walk-around shows.
• "Fast Track" - a tracking effect that shows beyond all doubt, regardless of how many times the cards a shuffled, that you can keep track of a single card…and ultimately any four of a kind.
• "Cash Grab" - offer the spectator a chance to win $100. Against all odds, somehow you still win the bet!
• "Trifecta" - one of Jason's favorite walk-around effects. This is a quick and simple three-phase effect that shows all the best that card magic has to offer.
• "High-Card Hustle" - you play high-card cut with the spectator. No matter how many advantages you give them, you’ll always have the higher card.

Week Three: (October 17th 2021, 4pm ET)

• Join us for an exclusive Zoom call featuring an additional hour's jam session where you can ask Jason anything you like.
