"Rafael Benatar gently and seductively insinuates his enchantments into an audience's collective consciousness. He does not pummel audiences with puzzles or vex them with bewilderments. Instead he gifts them with the wonderments of their own dreams."
- Jon Racherbaumer
"Great hands, great intelligence, great feeling."
- Juan Tamariz
"Rafael is, without any doubt, a master of that weapon, so difficult to handle, but so greatly efficient, which is timing."
- Arturo de Ascanio

We'll get a first hand look at Rafael's unique style and command of the craft and learn many tricks from his repertoire. Join us and Rafael Benatar right here, At The Table. Here's what you'll learn:
Illogical Conclusion: The effect begins with four unseen cards face down on the table and four red cards in Rafael's hands. He openly switches a card, then two cards, and then three cards from one pile to the other, all while the cards in his hands remain completely red. The trick doesn't seem to make sense until he finally shows that the cards on the table are all black.
Shadow Does It (Judah-Maven-Benatar): Four black cards are placed face down on the table in a row on a table and four red cards are shown in Rafael's hands. By casting a shadow, and without touching any of the black cards, each red card is switched with each of the black cards, one at a time.
