In this booklet, Ron Bauer does a step by step break down of Don Alan’s routine which is featured on the video above. Don Alan is amazing – talk about a master at work and a beautiful routine. The Devano routine starts at 2:53 for those who can’t wait! But you would never guess the deck was gimmicked and Don is so casual and smooth with it. What a perfect routine.
Ron Bauer also includes some interesting history about who made the Devano deck for Don Alan and why he was unhappy with the Tannen’s version at the time. The man who made Don’s deck was Chicago Comedy Magician and MC Howard Bamman, and it had the perfect characteristics that Don was looking for (which sound similar to the decks George Richbark is still making today).
