Mystery and History of Playing Cards

Mystery and History of Playing Cards

Playing cards have been a fascination of mine since I was a teenager. I love the feel of a deck of cards in my hands. Shuffling them, cutting them, and running through different sleights-of-hand are almost like meditation for me.

I’ve collected books and documents that tell stories and explain the history of a deck of cards for a long time. I love to share little known facts and fascinating stories in my shows in the hope that others will find them as interesting as I do.

It turns out that this common item, that we all have hiding in a drawer somewhere in our homes, is full of history and mystery. Enjoy the video!

    Card Cheating with Nashville Magician Jason Michaels

    Card Cheating with Nashville Magician Jason Michaels

    My origin story in magic begins with me wanting to learn card tricks because I played poker with friends every Friday night when I was in high school. And while I would never cheat my friends at cards, I was seduced by the idea of being able to cheat at cards, if I so chose.

    There is a false belief out there that you must be able to control every card in the deck in order to cheat at poker. Not true. By simply controlling one card and one card only, cheaters can gain a sizable advantage over every player at the card table. Enjoy this magical demonstration that shows how both magicians and card cheats can do just that.

    Nashville Magician Blows Minds at Nashville House Party

    Nashville Magician Blows Minds at Nashville House Party

    There’s just nothing quite like watching a skeptic freak out, or a beautiful woman squeal in delight, or a crowd erupt in applause after seeing a card trick that truly blows their minds. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be the magician performing such feats - I have two words for you. Thrilling and Addictive.

    After you watch this video clip to see the cool sleight-of-hand trick, watch it again. This time don’t watch the trick. Watch the people. Listen to the things they say, the sounds they make, and the way they respond. Watching it the second time allows you to experience it the way that I experience it. Then try and tell me that you don’t want to be a magician, too;)

    Magic in a Plane Hangar

    Magic in a Plane Hangar

    I was on tour in Europe in 2018 and got to do a unit visit on one of the military bases my team and I were performing on. On this particular unit visit, we got to go in an airplane hangar and see how they train airmen to arm fighter jets with munitions.

    It was pretty wild to be in this giant hangar with all of these training bombs and missiles surrounding us. As always, the men and women who were showing us around and telling us about what they do were at the top of their game.

    This is the card trick that guarantees audiences pay attention during my shows. I do this at the beginning of the show and it let’s everyone know that I mean business. Once you see this, you’ll never forget it.

    Even after years of performing it, I still get charged up to do it because I know how big the impact is on my audience.

    And after the trick portion of this video is over, don't miss "the rest of the story.” That is where I buried the gold:)

    Magic in a Wine Cellar

    On my 2018 European tour I made some memories that I’ll never forget. One of those was on a day that my team (Jessica Jane Peterson and Ben Young) and I had off in Portugal. We were asked if we had any interest in going on a wine tasting and we emphatically said, “YES!” I had never been on a wine tasting before and doing my first one in Portugal was an opportunity that I wasn’t going to miss!

    This tasting was really special because we did the tasting in a special tasting room and then we were served an incredible Portuguese meal that had specific wines paired to the foods. The food was scrumptious and the wine exquisite…
