Titled 'Avant Card,' the video focuses on cardistry, the art of manipulating playing cards.

Designed to highlight the format, 'Avant Card' features Dan and Dave Buck, the founding fathers of Cardistry, and Andrew Avila, one of the world's top cardists, as they perform incredible, beautiful tricks. To experience DTS Headphone:X for yourself, put on any pair of headphones or earbuds and check out the video clip below! “Avant Card was created to highlight just how integral audio is to every facet of our lives – even in ways we don’t realize or expect. I collaborated with my friend Chris Chelko who introduced me to the world of Cardistry and the Buck brothers. We developed a video concept that would showcase the art of Cardistry and DTS Headphone:X technology in a dynamic way. I went to Omelet to create something that's going to convert listeners into believers. I'm thrilled at the outcome and hope other people are as well," said Jordan Miller, Head of DTS Global Communications. Beyond the new 'Avant Card' demo clip, DTS Headphone:X audio tracks are also available on titles from several other content providers, including select Blu-ray home entertainment releases from Paramount and Lionsgate.
