Certainly the best part was when Calen teaches how to create magic. The magic itself is ok just not
really my style and not the most commercial or performable.

I've seen over 20 magicians lecture and have to say that Calen Morelli was, while not the highest
rated, still a very good lecturer. I appreciate that he tried to do some things to help make it a
unique experience, like adding props and a creative guest. There is a great Torn and Restored
Transpo, based on both David Williamson's and the one David Blaine did in his first special. He also
explains the method to a very visual hoodie-string through hoodie-string effect for those
individuals not in the corporate sector. One of the more unique aspects was a sample "creative
session" between him and Blake Vogt that was designed to show the audience how to get their creative
juices flowing. I believe most of the rest of the effects are from his Function 9 DVD.
My
only problem was that he's still young and it occasionally showed, especially when he brought his
friend Blake out to help him. While both undeniably creative, there was just a bit too much giggling
for my liking...
Although there's no denying that Calen has definitely proved himself in
the business, I just think he has a few years left before he'll be able to more effectively
communicate in his lectures. And I am definitely looking forward to when that time comes.
Overall I found the price of the lecture to be well worth the information I received from it.

I really enjoyed Calen Morellis Lecture, and I know that he has a lot to offer, I hope that he
decides to release more of great effects in another lecture, I would gladly but it again. I would
love to Hire him myself for consulting my stage shows here in Europe.

This is by far my favorite Magic Lecture. Calen is so creative and goes over so much, it is 100%
worth downloading.

Calen is a clever dude. Awesome effects and ideas. Blake is annoying but still worth it.
Was expecting more. He was so popular for awhile. Maybe my expectations were too high. Not much here
that is practical to perform IRL.
I loved this lecture from start to finish! Most of the tricks he teaches are visual and practical
and use normal objects. Him and Blake go over their process or their creative jamming session
together which is awesome if you want to start creating more.
Others are saying that they
giggle too much and are 'immature' but I mean they were like 18 in this and that's what 18 year olds
do. That's also Blake's personality, he's a very merry person and laughs a lot. I found the
'immature jokes' funny and gave the lecture some character and made me enjoy it more.
Overall: Great lecture, heaps of usable material and lots of fun!!!
I am very impressed by the ingenisosity of Callen Morelli
Great effects, real and modern magic.
Thanks for this great moment
