Toronto: Louie Lebetjis lecture [Jun 24]

From The Browser's Den of Magic:

Saturday June 24th

This is going to be a cool lecture! Second Deals! Bottom Deals! Centre Deals! Greek Deals! Plus work on: FALSE SHUFFLES, FALSE CUTS, PALMING & MORE! Much More!

Louie gave a magic lecture at our shop with a gambling theme a few years ago and it was excellent. One of the highlights was the clarity with which Louie explained the material. He is a good teacher.

Louie has been studying card magic for decades. However, gambling sleights have always held a particular fascination for him ever since his grandfather first showed him how to false shuffle a deck of cards.
                                                  
It was his grandfather who gave him a copy of Expert at the Card Table. Of course he is a serious student of all the gambling greats such as Ed Marlo, Richard Turner and Steve Forte.
 
His passion for practicing gambling moves hasn't stopped and he continues to explore and try to find new and novel ways to manipulate cards.
 
So we hope that you will come and join us to watch and learn some of the inner work from this fine Cardician.
