Last week, this inspiring video featuring 19 years-old LA magician Franco Pascali (@francopascali), was selected as Vimeo Staff Pick. The well-produced video showcases Franco’s incredible handling of a deck of playing cards and what drives him as a young magician. Here’s what director Jacob Rosenberg has to say in the video description,
… magic and cardistry are intensely personal and individually orientated in terms of the endless practice that is required to master them. Tricks are performed with decks and each person embodies a style that is distinctly their own. That style is reflective of the influences they devoured when they were coming up and their intrinsic sensibility that they develop as they mature. As I spent time with Franco I immediately wanted to point my camera at him to capture the way he dressed, the way he talked, the breathtaking way he moved cards and the feeling I had in encountering such raw talent.
