Lecture Reviews

“Dan Harlan’s performance was a riot. His timing and delivery was razor-sharp. While his physical appearance is like that of a rock-star tough-guy, his interaction with the audience reveals the thoughtfulness and depth of a concert pianist… A true artist. During the lecture portion, his passion for magic was evident. At times he seemed like a kid at recess. Dan Harlan’s magic was everything you could ask for… Dan was extremely generous with the wonderful ideas he shared. If one wanted to, one could build an entire act based solely on the information he presented to us…. the real gold was the thinking behind his presentations. The food for thought was nothing less than a banquet. Remarkable stuff.” —Christopher Griggs
