I found Ekaterina( Kate ) from some advertisement videos for the Ellusionist Arcane decks. The end of her video had her website which brought me the video I am showing here. By far my favorite type of magic to watch is sleight of hand. Usually, this causes me to show a ton of card manipulation routines. Kate definitely has some extreme examples of card manipulation but this routine is an awesome display. She does a great job of misdirecting and making you think you've caught her when really she is doing something else. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-zKnFUolvo&w=560&h=340]

For an added bonus here is a video of her working the Montreal Jazz Fest in 2009.
