What will he teach?

His lecture focuses on material that can be done both in close-up and stand-up/parlour settings, and are all routines right out of his working repertoire.

Items he will be teaching include:

Saint Jack Comedy Prophecy
Eyes Wide Shut, his handling of the Risque Aces
His famous Bottle Production
Win-a-Date Lotto
A stunning Confabulation routine
A Torn and Restored Newspaper… that doesn't use a newspaper!
Multiplex Interchange, Reset with Cards to Pocket

He will also share some of his ideas about performance, character, and scripting.

Who is he?

John Lovick lives in Los Angeles, where he works as a performer, writer, and theater director. His secret alter ego, Handsome Jack, performs regularly at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, where he has been nominated eleven years in a row as Parlour Magician of the Year (which means he has lost eleven years in a row!)

John is perhaps best known in the world of magic as the author of SWITCH: Unfolding the 100 Bill Change. He is also known for his product reviews and performer profiles that have appeared in MAGIC and Genii magazines.

He is the creator of “The Reparation”, a popular Torn and Restored Card handling that has been a best selling item for the last fifteen years. He is the co-author of Aaron Fisher’s The Paper Engine and wrote Experience, and MAYHEW, books about the magic of Jon Allen and Steve Mayhew, respectively.

He has performed throughout the United States and has lectured to magic organizations in Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, and Malaysia.

John Lovick took the stage and hit a home run on the first swing in what is one of the finest lectures you'll ever see.

He performed AND taught pieces right out of his Professional Act! And he was FUNNY!

1) John's incredible Bottle Production ( it can be produced ANY time during your act, no matter what style jacket you wear ).

2) A funny McCombical-Deck routine.

3) A clever, spooky, FUNNY Confabulation routine.

4) Card to impossible location ( can be signed )

5) Cards to pocket transposition ( card scan be signed )

6) John gives DETAILED lessons on the use of Equivoke.

7) Torn and Restored Newspaper using a 3-fold flyer from his Handsome Jack show.

8) A Max Maven prediction effect with a Rich Marotta ending ( What Your Future Holds ).

Loved it, it was packed from appetizer to dessert! One thing you will bring away from this lecture is that you not only saw a seasoned performer but also someone who can really put magic and the reasoning behind it in perspective, your perspective. I got so much from this lecture. He taught not only some cool tricks but more-so the behind the scenes thinking (scripting, premise, etc.) that proved to be invaluable. If you want to perform for others then just get this lecture, you won't be disappointed, I'll buy ya a drink if you are! :)
