About this Event

Join Magic Malka—Bristol’s own master magician—for an immersive, hands-on workshop exploring the art and rhythm of card shuffling. Whether you're a budding magician, a tarot enthusiast, or just curious about the magic in your hands, this session will leave you shuffling with skill and confidence.


What You’ll Learn:

  • A Brief History of Cards
    Discover the mysterious origins of playing cards and their mystical cousins, tarot cards—how they travelled the world, evolved, and became tools of both entertainment and divination.
  • Types of Cards & Card Stock
    Get to know the cards themselves—what makes a good deck, how stocks differ, and which cards suit your style.
  • Warm-Up for Your Hands
    Before the real magic begins, loosen up with simple hand exercises to keep you nimble and ready.
  • Hand Positions
    Learn how to correctly hold a deck—it's the foundation of every flourish and every shuffle.
  • Essential Shuffling Techniques
    The Overhand Shuffle and the Basic Cut, the elegant Hindu Shuffle and the classic Riffle Shuffle
  • Surface Matters
    Understand the importance of tabletop textures and choosing the right surface for your moves.
  • Card Extensions & Flourishes
    Explore basic card spreads, fans, and extensions—adding flair without losing control.
  • Deck Care 101
    Learn how to keep your cards in perfect condition—whether they’re for magic, games, or tarot readings.


Hosted in the atmospheric Haunted Bookshop, this unique workshop blends history, technique, and a touch of the uncanny. Perfect for beginners and enthusiasts alike.


Spaces are limited. Reserve your seat and let the shuffle begin.
