A modern visual artist and underground illusionist; born from absolute deception, once surviving from intricate short-cons on the streets and in betting rooms across the world.
In April 2000 Daniel was banned from UK casinos on claims that he was using a memory technique commonly known as card counting to cheat at Black Jack, following the ban, Daniel found his way into an underground poker scene where his deceptions would continue.
After 6 months as a card-cheat, the repercussions of an exposed sleight of hand technique landed Daniel on life support in hospital. During his recovery, Daniel discharged himself from hospital and spent a further 6 months in a wheelchair. His life as a poker-cheat had ended.
With the support of his close friend and entertainment agent, Randall Freeman helped to form Daniels skills into a rare form of entertainment, displaying card cheating techniques for guests at dinner parties and restaurants. Daniel was soon advertised as a close-up-magician and began a professional career in the magic industry.

Madness Volume 1Daniel Madison![]() This is best described as 'contact juggling with cards' - incredible. You will learn cuts, tosses, slides, as well as some magical effects such as transformations and transpositions. Great music by Daniel himself. Very gritty, powerful material for the hard core card handler. Many of the 'pure magicians' might not like this. It is essentially all flourishes. But it is wonderfully acrobatic. I love this kind of manipulation. It is one direction modern card magic is going to follow. If you want to learn something impressive, something... | 2009 / 2 / 8 | $22.00 to wish list PDF & MP4 |
