Dave Buck
Los Angeles, CaDave Buck and Dan Buck, 26, are twin brothers who share an insane ability to manipulate playing cards. Whether you call it magic, sleight of hand or juggling, one thing is for sure - witness them with a deck of cards and you will have a whole new outlook on what is possible.
Their creative approach has spawned a new generation of fast paced, visual, in-your-face magic as well as an entirely new art form (Cardistry). If you saw the 2007 film, Smokin' Aces, you witnessed their skill first hand. Recently they were hired to hand double for an entire season of the hit childrens show - LazyTown.

Who is your favorite performer to watch?
Mac King. He's one of the only magicians I can still watch today and feel like a kid again.
Do you have a favorite effect?
Steve Freeman's Time Machine. It's simple, direct, and highly visual. These are three aspects that Dan and I use as a foundation when developing most of our tricks.
Tell us about the first time/effect you performed.
I can't remember the first time, but I can remember in junior high when Dan and I would start by showing a few tricks to our friends and by the end of recess we'd have what seemed like the entire school leaning over one another trying to see what all the
What do you see as wrong with the industry today?
I think all magicians have a selfish mentality as our art is built upon secrets. When those secrets become available, especially to the public, we feel cheated. This was especially the case several years ago when FOX aired the masked magician specials. Ho
