For the first time ever, an award-winning magician is providing a lecture-demonstration teaching misdirection methods, the use of gimmicks, and catching sleight of hand moves as they apply to cheating at table games in a casino.

Steve Dacri, considered the world’s top presenter of sleight of hand, demonstrates and dissects the very principles at the root of misdirection, and explains these principles like never before.  Much of the origins of these techniques have been taught to Steve personally by the greatest recognized masters of close-up magic (Dai Vernon, John Scarne, Frank Garcia, Tony Slydini, Charlie Miller).  These techniques were often passed on to magicians from some of the sharpest cheaters in the world. 

“As a performer and teacher for the past 30 years, I have a total grasp of the methods used to defraud casinos.  My presentation (and the subsequent online learning and intensive workshops) will help cut down the amount of time it takes for surveillance to spot cheaters in action because they will know what to look for and when to look for it.”- Steve Dacri
