With

Todd Theman

A card player, sleight of hand artist, and storyteller who shows you the moments in a game people never realize they missed.

The moves most players only hear about happen inches from your eyes. Todd takes you inside the hidden work of the card table, then lets your questions drive the night.

You will see false deals and sleight of hand, explore how coordinated play can disguise a move, and leave with a sharper sense of what to watch for in your own games.

Todd can join you before dinner, stay through the meal, and settle around the table afterward. The evening follows your group’s curiosity.

For the people
who come with you.

No card knowledge is needed. Friends and spouses have a place at the table, with surprising moments and lively conversation built into the night.
