REPERTOIRE is a personal account of thirty years devoted to the creation, development and performance of sleight-of-hand and the Deceptive Arts.

Rather than presenting an encyclopaedia of card tricks or an exhaustive collection of techniques, Daniel Madison shares the refined repertoire that emerged from decades of experimentation and real-world performance. These are the methods, devices and ideas that earned their place through experience: the techniques that worked, the deceptions that endured, and the principles that proved themselves when it mattered.

The book takes the reader inside Madison's working practice, beginning with the specially prepared playing cards, concealed devices and everyday objects he carries with him. It explores the sleights that form the foundation of his work, including the Double Lift, Gambler's Cop, Tenkai Palm and several original or adapted card shifts. From there, it examines his approach to false shuffles and the philosophy behind making deception appear natural rather than contrived.

The final sections bring these elements together through a sequence of practical deceptions, including card revelations, transpositions, card-to-pocket effects and a final deck switch. The journey culminates in one of Madison's signature ideas: apparently restoring a shuffled deck to its original, new-deck order.

Yet the mechanics are only part of the story. Throughout REPERTOIRE, Madison explores the relationship between technique and belief, movement and attention, preparation and spontaneity. His approach favours simplicity over unnecessary complexity, natural behaviour over conspicuous skill, and the lessons of actual performance over the accumulation of moves for their own sake.

Personal, unconventional and shaped by the realities of the author's life, REPERTOIRE is both a practical guide to his working methods and a record of an artist refining his craft. It documents not everything he has learned, but what he has chosen to keep.

Because ultimately, a repertoire is not defined by how much you know.  It is defined by what remains when experience has taken everything else away.

This 3.5 hour epic masterclass will teach you everything you need to know to perform Daniel Madison's own personal repertoire of powerful card tricks and sleights.
