Cardistry: Cardistry-Con, Los Angeles Day 1

Cardists from all around the world descend on L.A. this weekend for Cardistry-Con 2017. This will be, by far, the biggest cardistry event. Ever! Organized by Dan and Dave and Cardistry Touch. Cardistry-Con is a three-day conference devoted to the mesmerizing art of cardistry.

On July 7, cardists from all over the world gather and explore the limitless expressive potential of an ordinary deck of playing cards… and have an absolute blast together! The event includes talks, exclusive video screenings, live performances, Q&As and a chance to jam with the world's best cardist!
