San Francisco, CA (PRWEB)

Expert Insight (EI) and Stephane Vanel, champion card magician, have just released an exciting new instructional DVD entitled "Card Trick Magic with Stephane Vanel".

In this DVD, Stephane performs 12 amazing card tricks and then reveals the secrets with in-depth lessons in the EI Studios. This DVD is also packed with special bonus features, like Stephane's 7 Presentation Tips, that teach viewers the basics of great card magic.

This new title marks the fourth subject in the Expert Insight library of instructional DVDs. Company founder and CEO, Phil Gordon, says "After watching Stephane perform at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and then speaking to him about magic, I knew we had to sign him."

With this DVD, Vanel joins the team of other EI world-class experts such as Phil Gordon (Final Table Poker), Jim Furyk & Fred Funk (Short Game Golf) and Andy Bloch (Beating Blackjack).

Stephane began practicing magic at the age of seven and became a world champion in 2001. His decision to create an instructional DVD was inspired by his desire to help others overcome shyness and obtain the same sense of confidence that magic provided to him. Stephane says "When I was younger, I was extremely bashful. Magic offered the ultimate ice breaker, and as I learned new tricks, it became easier for me to meet new friends."

Stephane is well-known in the magic community as a respected peer and friend to the biggest names in magic including David Copperfield, Lance Burton, Criss Angel and David Blaine. Stephane's American popularity is rapidly growing thanks to viewers on MySpace and YouTube. Recently, one of his tricks was featured on the homepage of MySpace.com, and Stephane's videos received over 100,000 views in just hours.
