What will he teach?

Any Card at Any Number: Matthew’s new streamlined version with just 2 decks & instant reset.
The Gum Thing: A piece of gum is popped out of a gum packet, chewed and then goes back in time to appear, sealed back in the gum packet.
Black I: A card is chosen and signed and lost in the deck. A large black letter I is drawn on the back of the top card of the deck. The I vanishes, travels down into the deck and appears on the signed selection (instant reset).
Sweet: Mentalism with four borrowed sugar packets (instant reset/no prep required).
Knife A King: Hilarious find a card revelation. This one is X-Rated because of the language used. Really cool little bit for nightclub and bar audience but it does use strong language.
Improved Vanishing Card Case: Great card case vanish. Gimmick does have to be constructed, but once made will last forever (instant reset).
The Naked Mind Reading Magician: Mentalism card revelation. Funny & a little risque, but no suggestive language used.

He teaches a great bunch of tricks. All with advanced gimmicks or preparations.

But he also teaches how they instantly reset so you can do them again and again for walk around, though many things you will need to BUY to do the trick.
And also some of the tricks need big hands.

Different Kind Of Lecture Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 1st, 2014

(This review is for Matthew Johnson LIVE)

I personally enjoyed this lecture. Mathew is a good teacher, but does kind on go on, so to speak. If you want a very fun and not to technical ACAAN routine, he teaches a very good method. It will take some practice in removing the deck from the case, but worth the effort for the effect.

Most everything taught ends with you reset and ready to perform the effect again. This is great if you table hopping. A little heavy on card magic, but above average routines.

If you are into smart phone magic, he explains a REALLY GOOD effect using your internet capable phone. No app to buy, but a very impressive routine you can do that is very easy to do and very fooling.

Overall I gave this a 4 star rating because of some strong language and slight audience thumping. Nothing to bad, but I personally prefer my Magic to be Audience friendly without the adult theme. Good Magic, be sure to check out his effect "Melt" also sold on Penguin.

i thing i got a lot from the lecture. i like the mentality he has as a working perforer. also the best thing was the pdf that you could download: the rule of thumb. the vanishing card box was great. i like how he thinks to have tricks that reset. the tricks are not the important thing in this lecture. its how he thinks

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 7th, 2014

(This review is for Matthew Johnson LIVE)

I've been a Matthew Johnson fan for a while now. I do his effect "Melt" all the time. Check it out here on Penguin as well. For me, this lecture is jamb packed with great material for the Walk around or table hopping Magician.

His Any Card at Any Number is about as easy of method for this classic effect as you'll find. For me, this one effect is worth the cost of the entire lecture. You reset right in front of the spectator, but they don't have a clue you are re-setting as the patter makes perfect sense. It's perfect!

This lecture is a nice mix, and most of the effects taught reset easily and naturally. I thought it was easy to follow and well taught, without a lot of goofing around. I liked this lecture and I'm sure you will too. Get this one!

Solid. Not retreads of other routines. Lot’s of humor, although some is racy, so be mindful.
