The effect with the serial number changing was worth the price of the entire download. So many ways you could present it: hypnosis, amnesia, magic, etc.

Great!!

I have many slates, wood, plastic, large, small, chalk, dry erase, etc. This series takes the concept into the 21st century with the option to go old school. Another excellent job from Dan. Not just for the mentalist, but for the entertainer.

This is a gem of a teaching video. Whether you want to learn classic slate magic or updated work with dry-erase boards, this is the place to start. You even learn a card trick that uses cards instead of slates and the staged change is ingenious. Don't be surprised that this type of magic will take some work on your part to gather and modify materials. That's how it was back in the early days of Tarbell and it hasn't changed.

These are generally stand-up tricks and the staging in a parlor or stage show is needed in some routines. Dan has some nice effects here and the knowledge he imparts can inspire you to modify these for your working conditions. If you would never do a magic square presentation, then you can undoubtedly find many other uses for the gimmicked board he teaches you how to make.

The appearing symbol during the erasing of a dry-erase board covered with wrong guesses and scribbling is super. Arts-and-crafts are required again, but this can really be turned into something special. I've got several ideas already to incorporate into the presentation.

If you just want effects you can watch and perform immediately, then this isn't for you. These will take time and effort to prepare, but you will end up with an array of effects far broader than just the specific presentations given here. I really appreciated learning these items.

At over two hours, this course is packed with so much incredible material. Honestly, the updated method involving spray glue is worth two or three times the cost of this course alone. This is going in my show (I already have at least routines in mind and I can't stop coming up with ideas).

The wild hinged switching prop is amazing, but I'll never be able to make one. Can I convince Penguin to produce these and put them on the market? You can sign me up as a pre-order right now!

For a "slate" lesson you're also going to get an amazing bill routine, Dan's work on the magic square, and a ton more. I cannot recommend this lesson more highly.

I love how Dan updated the material from the somewhat archaic nature of slates to the more updated version of dry erase boards. Dan even goes over using these techniques to photo frames. Very good techniques and principles to add to your repertoire.
