Gazzo is truly one of the greats. I have seen him perform many times and worked a few conventions
with him; he is incredibly perceptive, From his choice of tricks to his choice of volunteers this
lecture is a master class. Who else do you know that could do an hour, yes an hour, and only do
three tricks? Don't pass this up, it is well worth the cost.
You will learn a lot more than
just "more tricks" (don't we already have enough?). You will learn philosophy and theory about
creating a show and making it work under different circumstances. Save your money by not buying the
latest gimmick, and spend it here. You will not be disappointed.

If you are looking for effects to perform, then I would recommend one of Gazzo's DVDs or his first
live lecture. He does teach his effects during this live act lecture, but he goes into more depth
and covers more in his other media.
This lecture is great about developing your style,
assembling & threading your routine, and entertaining an audience. Subtleties about prop and
audience management are taught exceptionally well. If you already have some tricks for parlor or
stand-up then you will want this lecture - you will learn how to bring them together.
He
teaches some great bits and gags and how he uses them for subterfuge.
The loading method
for the cups and balls is not new; it is not a new technique that you can apply to what you
currently use as loads. Gazzo does provide ideas for different loads and why you might use them
Gazzo also provides all of the convincers for the egg bag and explains why you don't need to do
all of them. You could perform his routine based on his explanation here, but he does go into more
detail on his DVD. His egg bag routine rocks. The egg bag plays huge and Gazzo uses it to link
several routines together.
His signed card to lemon/orange is great and requires no
gimmicks. The fruit is prepared, but you won't need anything from a magic shop to make it work. He
teaches a great double lift with this effect as well.

Gazzo is off-the-charts amazing. He’s one of top 3 entertainers I’ve ever watched in my life. The
other 2 aren’t even magicians. Gazzo could entertain you for a few hours without doing any magic
whatsoever. When he adds magic to the mix it’s dynamite. I've watched the likes of Copperfield,
Angel and Mac King but I'm telling you Gazzo has an edge over them as an entertainer. There is gold
in this video. He goes over his brand new, never revealed before the act, step-by-step. I am
incorporating his ambitious card routine into my act. It will take me some time to get it dialed in
100% but his guidance is going to save me years of developing my own material. Get this material
right away.

If you want to do a street show or an engaging cabaret magic performance there are few people in the
world, better than Gazzo. I first saw Gazzo when I was 12 and it was the most incredible show. What
a gift to us all that he has decided to share this.

I have been a big fan for many years and have other DVD's and books. All Street Magic. I have never
seen a stage performance before. Gazzo is correct when he says the performance alone is worth the
price of admission. Just Buy It ...

I am not very familiar with Gazzo but when I saw the trailer for this download it piqued my
interest. I am so glad I took the plunge. This download gave me the inspiration I was looking for to
give my new act the final tweak It needed.
This is full of great ideas for creating actual
routines and linking those routines in a logical way. There are of course excellent tricks to be
learned but for me the real value was watching Gazzo in action. His style is very personable and
intimate. He knows how to grab an audience right from the beginning of his act and keep their
attention until the very end.

Gazzo is one of the worlds greatest magicians. Check out his Wikipedia. In his career, he has
performed more than fifty-four thousand shows to live audiences of over 15 million people and
counting. He probably has performed more shows than anyone on the planet. He has transcended to a
place where he is not just a world class magician, just a world-class ENTERTAINER spanning several
genres.
PERIOD.
His book Phantoms at the Card table co-authored with David Britland
is cited by EVERY MAJOR contemporary mainstream book about magic check CHECK ‘Fooling Houdini’ by
Alex Stone and more recently 'Magic is Dead' by Ian Frisch. His many students are creating waves of
their own (anyone heard of Billy Kidd?). He is the ONLY student of Walter Irving Scott, who was
cited by his contemporaries as the greatest living card man of his day.
Gazzo has worked
in pretty much every venue Cruise Ships, Restaurants, Theaters, and of course is widely known as one
of the worlds greatest street entertainers. His theater Krowd Keepers located in Bath, England is as
of this writing in 2019 rated the #1 thing to do in the city according to Trip Advisor. This is an
astonishing feat for ANYONE in entertainment. Have you checked the reviews for headliners in Vegas.
No one comes close.
Gazzo has been featured on National Television, including Penn &
Teller's "Fool Us."
Al Pacino, Halle Barry, Carmen Diaz, Steven Spielberg, Manny Pacquiao,
Roy Scheider are some of the of celebrity fans Gazzo has entertained.
He just founded a
Magic School called Know More Magic. I went to the first class and it was incredible. It is going to
be so cool to see what Gazzo does next!

This is most likely biased: I first met Gonzo (yah Gazzo, I’ll always be a prick) at the last year
Fechters was at The Forks. I was there the first day of this lecture but had to leave for a weekend
gig, so missed the rest.
What I saw in the first day was a.brilliant entertainer, who having
obviously fought through every aspect of the learning curve that only street and so repetition and
trial and error can provide, was able to answer every level of experience: gold for whatever level
one had the means to plumb.
Raw and unscripted. Worth it!! And you will gain different things
from him each time you watch.
