There have been other Penguin Live lectures that has some really crazy or cool tricks that require
either a big setup or the perfect situation. This lecture was not that at all! This lecture was
packed with effect after effect that we can actually use in the real world. It is the first time I
have ever rewatched a lecture right after I finished it because I wanted to start using it
immediately.
P.S. His version of the two card transpo is fantastic!!!

How often do you see a lecture and learn a magacian fooler that a 10 year old can preform. This
lecture is one if not the best I have ever bought from Penguin. Real work, that you don't have to be
a knuckle buster to perform. Absoultly loved it. Best torn and restored card I've ever seen, period!

I'm not a huge card guy, but as a magician you need to be able to deliver when asked. The
information that Brent shared (mostly cards) was absolutely amazing, super polished and not
extremely difficult. I liked his style and his teaching was very clear and concise. I've watched
it 3 times already and this is the best lecture I have seen on Penguin yet.
After the 1st
trick you could shut this off and feel like it was money well spent!

I've been in the audience for most of the penguin Live lectures and Brent was one of the most
entertaining and I know I will be using almost all of the material he taught! There is something for
everyone in this lecture and you will be laughing the whole way through. I couldn't recommend this
higher.

I've known Brent for years now, and he never ceases to impress me. He's the only guy I know that
can consistently fool other magicians with routines that are also thoroughly entertaining to a lay
audience. He's the only magician in the world that can consistently fool me, and he did it again on
this lecture. I'm a grown man and I found my self STANDING UP with my MOUTH AGAPE at one of the
effects on here. And then the method was deviously, brilliantly, FRUSTRATINGLY simple! (Why didn't
I think of that?!). Any one of these effects is worth the price of admission. Basically, if you
don't know Brent Braun, you don't know magic.
P.S. I'm not a juggler.

Brent is without doubt one of the most thorough, innovative and articulate magic lecturers I've come
across (and believe me, I've been lucky enough to witness quite a few, including some of the
biggest names in close-up magic).
Every move has been analysed and honed over time. So his
effects are mean, lean and always way ahead of the audience's thinking. IMPORTANTLY he teaches you
every detail of the 'how and why' of what he does. If you don't get out of his lecture great workers
that you amaze your audiences with, you really can't be trying: he's that good.

This is a great lecture. I get bored with card trick lectures. Not this one. The card stuff in this
lecture does not require knuckle busting moves. Brent does a great job giving the theory and ideas
behind each trick. I love the ongoing joke throughout the lecture about his items for sale. The
kicker is how he incorporates the deck switches. I might have to take this idea and run with it.
Thanks Brent for a great lecture. This is one that you will watch more than once.

Braun doesn't dick around. He knows what the viewer is looking for and he delivers. I've watched it
over and over just to absorb the sheer magnitude of information he imparts. And each time I'm amazrd
each time. He'll tell you how to fry laymen and even puzzle magicians. Strap in cause it's a doozy.

Just watched this Penguin Lecture and it is awesome. The stuff he teach is so practical and so well
thought out. It think it's one of the best Live Lectures and I saw them all.
Thx to Brent.
