Ivan
Founder, Kardify

Ivan has had a lifelong passion for magic and playing cards. He grew up watching magic on television and was enthralled by magicians such as David Copperfield and David Blaine. This sparked his interest in the art of misdirection and began learning from classic books such as Card College by Roberto Giobbi, The Expert at the Card Table by S.W. Erdnase. As time progressed, he lost his interest in magic and became fascinated with card manipulation when Ellusionist released the System by Dan and Dave. Since then his passion for cardistry and all things playing cards grew exponentially.
