I bought this download because I wanted to learn about bubble magic and I got more than my money's
worth. I contacted Penguin through Live Chat to see if he covered this topic and was told that he
did (among many others.)
A general comment is that after one of these Penguin Live
broadcasts wraps, I wish that Penguin would breifly outline the topics and effects discussed. I
would purchase a lot more of these if I had a better idea of what I was getting.
It bugs me
a little that price goes up after the broadcast is recorded. If anything, it should cost more live
because you have the value added of being able to ask questions. One value added that would justify
the price jump for archival download would be the aforementioned outline. For a couple extra bucks,
those ordering the download would have a better idea of what they are getting, and pay a little more
to take less of a risk.
Finally, back to Losander for a moment. A criticism that I saw of
one of his DVDs was that he talked extensively about bubble magic without ever giving out his bubble
formula. Rest assured, he does discuss the formula here, which for me was worth the price alone.

Losander presents some intriguing material regarding the use of invisible thread in typical as well
as nontypical applications. Study this mans thinking and discover a universe of insight applicable
to levitations. Not the lecture I had expected as he didn't cover much with regard to his marketed
effects. Nevertheless, what he does present is pure gold, and he does teach his thinking behind his
famous bubble routine. Lots of useful theory, handling, and tips from a true wizard. Plus, much to
be absorbed from studying his stagecraft and approach to magic presentation! Simply, be observant
in a positive way, and you'll take away a wealth of useful information from this intriguing lecture!

If you are thinking of using IT of ANY kind you need to see this lecture. Losander is a master of
making things move magically and has some of the best hook-ups available.
Just watch it...

Losander is really great teacher and motivator.
He told not only about tricks but also about
philosophy in magic. I highly recommend this lecture.

For learning practical levitation tips beyond what you will see on a Loops download, this is the
place. The bubble routine is beautiful and magical, but probably a lot of work to become
proficient.
I have many videos from Losander, and this has the clearest explanations for key points for his
standard effects. So i should say there are no new Losander effects, so if you have other videos
from him, you’ll likely get nothing new. But if you don’t, or if you’re not quite getting how to do
something, get this one
Very interesting and informative. Thank you for an awesome live program on my favorite subject.
He shares many good routines and ideas on this video. His thoughts on the principles of levitation
-- what makes a levitation effect work or not work -- have been shared in some of his previous
videos , but he reiterates those thoughts here and it is good to see again. What is a rather sad
to me is that as much as Losander (or his colleague Tommy Wonder) have communicated those principles
over the years in various lectures and videos , we still see the same terrible performances of the
Zombie or Floating Table or using loops. Do most magicians just not get it ? Do they think that
the theory explained does not apply to them ? Losander and Tommy Wonder have clearly shown how an
effective levitation works, but we still see 9 out of 10 magicians doing it wrong. (and I'm not
even talking about amateurs/hobbyists , I'm talking about "pros" who don't seem to get it , who seem
to think "ball on a stick" is ok) .
If I get one thing out of a lecture that I use, then I think it's been worthwhile.
From this
lecture, there are at least two: bubble and ring, and standing business card. Losander shares his
hook ups andd handlins for elastic invisible thread. This lecture is a master class.
Thank you Losander.Your buble trick is so beautiful.Lecture is really nice.
