By far, one of the best lectures to date. Although, I am not into sleeving, I appreciated seeing a true master at his craft. The whole show was enjoyable from beginning to end. Rocco's explanations of each of his effects was excellently done and I loved his other ideas on coins and cards too.

Thanks for sharing Rocco, it was a pleasure to see you at work. Sending a shout out to Dan for hosting a great show and providing an informative interview!

Rocco is a trip. I mean an absolute ah-mazing, fast paced...trip. He was all over the place in the best way. I can imagine some people might feel like it was nuts because he went off page...but he is truly inspiring.

I watched it again late in the night last night/early morning hours because I could not sleep after seeing this lecture. I felt inspired. I felt like I had just watched one of the most remarkable people on earth doing what he loves and sharing it like crazy and going off the cuff. Sure it was not super organized but he played and he riffed and he was a joy to witness.

It was a real reminder that we need to keep doing the same thing...play...find ourselves and what we like within that play. Think. Play. PRACTICE. PRACTICE. PRACTICE...

Today I was walking around looking at objects differently...wondering what I might be able to do with them or how I might try and be more creative with my magic choices. This lecture really got me thinking!!!!

He is so full of love for magic and for what he has learned, practiced and become. I am so grateful to have been able to watch this and I will revisit this lecture again and again...much the way I found joy in watching the Gaetan Bloom, Kevin James, Bizzaro & Scott Alexander lectures...

You should watch this and take note of how astounding it is to watch someone just go, go...GOOoooooo...

I hope that someone reads this and gives this lecture a go...he is awesome and i feel so deeply inspired by his intensity and his passion for magic...

I have never seen him live...only in youtube videos but this man is fantastic and I wish I could have been in that room live and watching him blast off. (plus, he gave away magic tricks)!!!

So if you are into sleeving...or other great sleight moves...this man is the one to watch. And if you need a kick in the pants to get more creative and to just go all out or just a little out...give this lecture a go...

Totally worth it!!! Do it!

This is the second lecture by Rocco that I watch.
I had already watched his at the table lecture and I thought that there was nothing new on this one. I was so wrong.

In this lecture Rocco shared over 3 hours of world class matterial.But the tricks and the moves are not the real reason I recomend this lecture. The real reason is because after watching this lecture you will be inpired to create your own things, to practice your stuff harder and generally try to become a better magician. He has a unique passion for magic that he is passing on to the lecture's viewers.

Watching Rocco at work makes you feel like a beginner again no matter how many years you are into magic.

I learned a lot from this lecture and have already started test driving some of the material after just a few days of practice. Rocco has a ton of professional experience and a fluid style that's a master class in timing and misdirection.
That said, Rocco had too much material with him to fit in a 3 hour lecture, so the flow of the talk is sometimes disrupted because he can't decide what to do next. Also, he takes a lot of sleight knowledge as a given, so this lecture is not the best for beginners.
If I had one other complaint, he spends a lot of time promoting other products and gimmicks that are hard to find. But I learned so much that those particular gimmicks don't really matter to me

I had almost no experience with sleeving buying this so it was very hard to learn stuff from the lecture, what I mean is he didn't really teach you how to do the tricks he showed you how to do them. So my conclusion would be that if you have some experience with sleeving buy this because it surely does have some interesting tricks and ideas.

Thank you for making these lectures available to us. It's a great opportunity to see some of the great artists in the world.
I've never seen Rocco lecture and had high expectations. I know about his many awards for his high caliber of magic. Quite impressive.

However. I was disappointed with Rocco's organization of his presentation. He was all over the place. He must have asked what we wanted to see 20 times in his first hour. He would start a trick then jump to something else. He had no direction.

I just feel that if a presentation is being made from a high profile performer like Rocco, then as a courtesy to his audience, he should be prepared for such a presentation. It appeared to me that he just showed up and figured he'd wing it. Not professional. I was disappointed and turned it off early. I'm curious to hear how others felt. I mean no disrespect to Rocco.

Great lecture. If you don't sleeve you will after you see this. I wish he had of gone on for three more hours. Penquin, please have him back. Thanks again.

Excellent. This was a refreshing lecture... a departure from those that show "tricks" and method-reveals, one after the other, with shallow segues in between. Your lecture displayed a love of-- and for-- magic, magicians, process, and craft. I don't normally rate products but feel especially happy to do so here. Your generally-applicable thought-provoking theory on misdirection make for a good time. Some reviews commented that your rambling style was a little bothersome, but I found your examples of misdirection and how you reveal a good transformation or production delightfully thought provoking, so I enjoyed a little time to process and savor the moment. We were together for a good long time. You shared a lot of technique, so there was a lot to learn. Your presentation of various products was mentioned by some reviews as salesmanship or self promotion. I disagree. I viewed your inventions as an inspiring look into your creative process. I also have to mention that the reviewer who thought you had been drinking must have been drunk himself. I don't know you, but it's obvious to me you are a kind soul, with a wry sense of humor, in the tradition of your mentor, Slydini, similarly in love with the craft of magic and with people themselves who love magic. Thanks for a great lecture, Rocco.

Dear Rocco,

Thank you so much for giving us this lecture.

It has changed my life!

I never thought I could do some much magic with just my sleeves, and my mind unravels at the mere possibilities.

I hope he comes back again to show us more of out of his pile of stuff! It all looks so interesting and amazing. I'd really love to see more of that stuff "come to life".

Sincerely

Rocco is a master of creating wonder with his sleeves. We know that's what he uses but it's impossible to see what or what comes from nowhere or changes in his hands. As he presents so much enjoyable magic. Not only are his routines great but when the mood strikes he suddenly picks up something and develops a whole new thing on the spot.

This lecture gives you a whole spectrum of ideas and techniques to use as Rocco breaks it all down and teaches, in this lecture, more than you will ever learn in years of practice and study!
