I must say this lecture is the very first alan rorrison item i have ever brought and i'm so happy i brought it. There are some incredible ideas most of which will require gimmickes to be made or brought but they are very easy to construct or find if they need to be brought. I will not go through every effect ad there are too many but some of my favourites are

Pulled - Visually link a borrowed ring, pull tab, or key to a borrowed drink can pull tab.

Missleading Misslead - Visually penetrate a borrowed pen through a borrowed bill or bank note.

Impromptu NFW - Alan takes the classic card effect NFW and makes it completely impromptu there for allowing the cards to be examined at the end.

Broken Home - Borrow a bunch of keys from a spectator and then break one of their key stems off the key and swallow it and spit it back on or just melt it back on.

Through - Borrow a bill or bank note and visually pass and penetrate the bill either with another bill or playing card or even headphones.

Matrix - Alan takes the classic coin matrix effect and takes it entirely in the spectators hands a gimmick will need to be brought seperately for this effect but it's worth it.

So those are my favourite effects from the lecture as i said it's a great lecture but the reason i only gave four stars was because i won't use every effect from this lecture as some of them don't fit my style but i do appreciate how clever alan's ideas are, also some of the phone routines require downloads which aren't really given as to where you can get them. But seriously don't let thst put you off this lecture is great BUY IT NOW!!

Some decent magic in this lecture. One effect does go wrong on him during the explanation. This is the only effect that I personally would not use. Everything about this lecture is what I'd call different. Overall, good effects are taught and most are useable. Worth the chips for me.

This is a SUPER lecture!

I'll be using almost everything on here!

I am now an Alan Rorrison fan....he really thinks outside of the box...even for a magician.

Cons: Most tricks require some set up...a lot of the tricks require a web link to be sent from Alan himself....or for him to send it to Penguin....I have not seen them yet :(

Even with that, I would still recommend it.

This lecture has tricks for every close up performer. There is stuff with cards, coins, shot glass, versions of mislead. The stuff goes from 5 seconds setup, to gimmicks, to impromptu. His 3 shot slammer routine I will defiantly be using along with the mislead. This was also a fun lecture to watch, very funny.

The lecture itself is great, you get a lot of great tricks and very thorough explanations for all of them. My one and only gripe is that to do some tricks he explained that you need a link or a file to download and use, which didn't come with it. I think you can probably find them if you search, but as of yet I haven't. Other than that this lecture is very much worth the buy to get a look inside the mind of such a great creator such as Alan!

First of all, Alan Rorrison is simply an entertaining teacher. Secondly, he teaches some high quality magic. He teaches everything from table magic, walk-around, coin magic, card magic, iPhone tricks, formal, and informal. Rather then relying on clever and bold methods than lots of knuckle-busting sleight of hand, most of the tricks, once you learn the method, are pretty easy. This, however does not mean these tricks are any less stunning. At least 3 of these are going into my working repertoire. Alan taught a lot of things from his DVD Of the Little Things Vol. 1. He also taught a killer coin matrix effect that happens in the spectators hands, which he performed on Penn and Teller's Fool Us. Overall, its a jam packed 3.5 hour lecture full of great tricks. However, if you do not have a smart phone, you won't be able to do, but the other tricks are well worth the price of the lecture.

i love it,
he teaches a few card tricks,a few misled style effects,some AMAZING IPHONE MAGIC!!!!!!!!a linking ring and ringpull ,a tnr,a cap and coin transpo,a blank deck routine,a YTW (impromptu)

all and all,i really like it,these are usually very quick effects,that really kill

This lecture is more than 3 and half hours long and its full of just awesome tricks that you WILL use in the real world. The tricks he does are just so powerful,easy to make and take, its just great! Spoil yourself and buy it!!!

Alan is one of the most created minds in magic. This lecture gave me a lot of insight and direction to where I want to take my magic. Alan's ideas and philosophy on magic is truly a valuable part to take your magic to the next level. Although Alan brings a lot of magic to the table.This lecture isn't just about doing magic tricks. It's covers the: "Why, What's and Where we do magic. Alan gives tips and advice on where we get the tools we need to do magic and it gets the beginner, amature and serious magician thinking like a pro. Alan even throughs in an extra live performance of a hard hitting transposition card trick! Yes, he gives the explanation. I highly recommend this lecture!
