Bill Malone is a wealth of knowledge, talent and charisma. Forget tricks for a second, because Bill
Malone is not only entertaining, funny and inspiring, but he shared numerous stories that not only
made you laugh but taught you valuable lessons.Don't ever doubt yourself because there are others
that believe in you, was one lesson I took away from just one of the stories.
He shared
personal stories of his life, childhood and Ed Marlo, that connected with me on many levels.
The magic, was fantastic, there is at least one routine I am using for the rest of my life, well
worth the price of admission by itself! I learned some fun new sleights and now am digging through
Revolutionary Card Technique looking for more hidden gems I missed!
If you are like me,and
have been a huge Bill Malone fan, this is a must have. If you arent and want to see what Bill is all
about, this is a must have. Bill's dvd's are some of the first I ever had starting off in magic, and
everything he does is a worker, amazing, fun to perform and filled with hidden lessons in the
explanations themselves.
I would have paid double the price to see this lecture!

Just my two cents, as the title says. I'm a little biased though. Bill Malone is easily one of my
favourite magicians, and I'm proud to say that I own all of his DVD's. They're a fantastic
investment not only in tricks, but also presentation and entertaining, being able to captivate an
audience beyond the trick. That said, when I saw he'd done this live lecture, I was skeptical about
purchasing. I haven't been doing this long, and my main concern is that Bill might cycle too
heavily through stuff that he has already covered.
I don't want to give anything away, but
about 50 minutes into the lecture I already knew this purchase was worth the price (let alone the
remaining hour and a half left worth of material that is just mind blowing). He does cover some old
stuff, but actually gives further methods, presentation styles and variations. Plus the new
material he covers (both moves and routines, are very well explained, and stuff that I'm definitely
going to be incorporating into a future routines. What I particularly enjoyed was watching his
handling of the audience. He's doing a lecture this time, not a show, but that does not stop him
being incredibly entertaining. He's constantly giving advice about presentation and performance.
Even if you think you've got a good routine and persona, it might be worth it just to see what a guy
with almost 30 years of experience about leaving people captivated says.
As I mentioned I
am pretty amateur, so when I say there's stuff there I've never seen before, take that as you will.
Plenty of moves, but more than that real anecdotes about performance and watching it in action.

I never leave reviews but for this particular lecture i feel very compeled to leave one because its
just that great. This lecture had tricks, and stories with references to other great material that
has been lost in time which Im going to order right away.
For me the biggest treat (apart from
the advice on palming, and the pass he shared which are truly worth the price of the lecture alone)
was when Bill FINALLY puts scarnes aces to rest and discusses the trick. This is something that is
still being debated on magic forums almost 20 years later.
Bill Malone is a one of a kind
magician with a myriad of knowledge and it was such a treat to see him lecture.
This is not a
typical trick after trick after trick lecture in which you will learn nothing but another trick that
you will probably never use even though there are two tricks Im adding to my repoirtoire right away
(the ace cutting, and the opener). This is filled with real world advice, real world stories, real
workers, and a spot on predicition of what the future of magic holds with what we need to do as
magicians to secure its future.
If you are a true bill malone fan, or fan of magic you need to
buy this lecture.
YOU WILL LEARN SOMETHING YOU WILL USE
Thank you Bill!!

I love Bill Malone but the lecture was shorter than others and he spent a lot of time reminiscing
but too little carefully explaing tricks and moves.

Hey everybody,
this is Marc Gloger from Bremen, Gemany.
I've been a fan of Bill
Malone since the 80's. He became a big influence when I decided to become a working professional.
I've taken all his advice into use and... became successful! I've travelled all over Europe to Las
Vegas, doing tradeshows, corporate functions and private parties.
I've learned: If Bill is
talking, I have to listen!
In this lecture you will be able to get to know the man himself
far better than ever before. You will learn lots of very good stuff, lots of small details and
nuances PLUS you will meet Bill Malone sharing his background in magic and his love to the
"shoulders of giants" he's standing on - and to the art of magic itself.
This lecture will
give you a kick in the butt to get out there and entertain people with what we love to do: magic.
This is, to me, the most valuable thing Bill Malone shares with me. Again, the love to
perform, to learn and the fun to practice. Here I'm able to learn and listen to somebody, who was a
student of some of the best magicians in the past.
And now HE can become your teacher.
So, sit down, take a pack of cards, get yourself a glass of milk and some cookies. Enter
the Malone-Zone!
Enjoy!

Bill Malone is one of the greatest card guys in the world and by far the most entertaining. This
lecture was much more about tricks, it was insight and theory from Bill Malone. This is a chance
for someone to sit across a table from Bill and really learn what makes Malone one of the most
sucessful and busiest guys in the buisness. I can not recommend this lecture enough.

I never write reviews but I felt obliged to after watching. Bill Malone was one of the reasons I
first got into magic so I didn't hesitate to buy this live lecture. Obviously it didn't dissapoint.
Every so often you find something that makes you want to become a better magician and this is one of
them. It's not all tricks but stories, advice and bits and bobs to improve your existing sleights
(i.e pass and palming). However the tricks included are second to none. After watching I want to
improve what I already do. Couldn't reccomond highly enough and well worth the price

Loads of great Bill Malone goodness but not as good as his other
DVD's/Downloads.

Bill Malone is one of the greats. His card work, Magic & delivery is special. One of the things I
noticed and increased my respect for him is his Crediting, he went to great lengths to show how and
where his inspirations come from. Dear Mr Malone, you appear to be a genuine person I love your
magic & I am sure you would be great company just to be around. This lecture shows how a true master
goes about his work and his inspirations. There is plenty to learn here.

This was a great lecture! Bill does not lecture often so this was indeed special. His subtle on the
overhand shuffle was worth the price alone. Bill teaches some of Marlo's effects and others. Bill is
a great teacher and I look forward to his book.
