I've had the pleasure of seeing Apollo work in person a few times, and the words in this article don't even properly describe it.

If you haven't seen it already, check out his TED talk, where he does the exact routine mentioned in this article: https://www.ted.com/talks/apollo_robbins_the_art_of_misdirec...

Also, check out the movie Focus (with Will Smith and Margot Robbie). Apollo was a big part of that movie, and makes a cameo, as well as designed all of the steals in the film.
