Devil in the Deck by Paul Nathan (Live Show)
Dealing cards and cheating death… Devil in the Deck is the story of Jack Swindle.
Cursed by a gypsy fortune-teller, con-man Jack Swindle travels the world in search of love, magic, adventure, and a cure to the curse. This critically acclaimed show, based on the real-life adventures of magician Paul Nathan (HBO, MTV, BBC), swept San Francisco’s underground theater scene last year.
Experience the Magic
Devil in the Deck pulls you into Jack’s life, where you experience every sensation firsthand. As Jack runs with the bulls in Pamplona, you run next to him and feel the vibration of the hooves through the cobbled streets. 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.
Magic, Music, and Theater Collide
This innovative pairing of magic and theatre gives the audience a fascinating ‘bird’s eye view’ of the character’s card magic right as it happens, with an overhead camera and video projector bringing the audience a rare view of the skill and beauty involved.
- Original music by guitarist John Anaya (Grammy board member)
- Directed by award-winning actor/director Drew Letchworth (Mrs. Doubtfire & The Right Stuff)
“Devil” is an elegant blend of stories, music, and enthralling close-up magic. “The card tricks alone are worth the ticket price.” – Contra Costa Times.
