Stephane Vanel used to model for Armani on the runway but that wasn't what he was best at. As a youngster he was very shy and used sleight of hand card tricks to overcome his shyness. Now, after performing at various venues on the strip he has just launched a new show at Paris called The Magic of Paris. Stephane Vanel joins us to talk about the art of sleight of hand.

    I have seen a lot of shows in Las Vegas, and this Magic of Paris was such a good little Mix. I love how kids get involved and the comedy mixed with magic is a hit. Stephane makes everybody laugh and clap over and over! Take the entire Family...

    I went to see this show, and I hated it. Stephane Vanel's greatest magic trick is that he has a show in vegas while I have seen soo many better magician in America's Got Talent who dream to perform in Vegas. Magic!

    Hi Eric I would like to respond to your comment so people have an another opinion. I have worked in magic for 26 years, eleven of those years with David Copperfield. I have seen and worked with many magicians. Stephane's technical skill is exceptional. He has the potential to be a big star, he just needs the opportunity to get established and grow. Great looking, multitalented (an excellent dancer), and a superior magician, he is off to a great start. The audiences seem to really like him. Exactly who are all these magicians you saw on America's Got Talent that you thought were better?

    Eric i am very surprise,i saw the show yesterday night and i though the show was amazing!!!!!!You must really be a hater or working for another show to leave such a comment.The show is so great .Stephane vanel is one of the best magician i have ever seen and i have been a magic fan for over 20 years.

    i really have to agree with john.You probably haven't seen the show,cause if you did ,you would never leave such a comment.The show is so entertaining and full of talents.When i saw it ,the show got a standing ovation.John as you say ,this guy is probably a jealous magician .The vanel guy was just amazing to watch as well as the rest of the cast.Great show,5 stars in my book
