The Meridian Technique will help you create a lasting impression that will keep audiences talking about you and your magic for years to come. It will have you leaving each show knowing that you made a lasting impression.

The basis of the technique is that you end each strolling performance with one parlor piece performed for everyone, gathered around you. To build interest in this amazing ending to your evening's performance, you "tease" what you will do to each group that you perform for. You talk deliberately about how impossible the trick is, when you will do it, and that they are all invited to see you there later. There are many advantages to doing this, both theatrically and economically. Best of all, your host remembers that you did something far beyond what any other magician at a strolling performance would do.

The running time is 3 hours, and you will see over 45 minutes of performance footage from Mark's restaurant residency in the UK. Some tricks are discussed, but the focus is really on the Meridian Technique, and how to take tricks you already do, and turn them into climactic showpieces at the end of your strolling magic. Truly, this simple, brilliant strategy could have a huge impact on the way you work close-up.

Two DVDs and slipcase. Running time: 3 hours. Includes Meridian Technique ebook.

If you are looking to learn any particular effect this is not the place to look.

Mark uses this release to teach a wonderful philosophy of how to create a crowd for yourself. Any entertainer looking to move from a small setting to a larger venue would definitely be able to use this as a resource.

Five stars! Great teaching

This is a purchasee I'm glad to have made. For awhile I've wondered how to go about approaching and/or creating large groups when I perform magic in the hope of attracting potential business as well. The Meridian Technique isn't focused on teaching you effects but rather it gives you insight on how to use what you know to create and control a crowd. I'm gonna be using what I've learned to finally launch my career in magic rather than just make it hobby. This dvd can help you build THAT kind of confidence if you adhere and pay attention to the info provided. 4 out of 5 only because know tricks were taught but this is still a great addition to your magic resources.

We all know effects, but how to grab an audience and keep them is important. If you are like me, these methods and subtle changes to your performance really can elevate whatever you already do to much higher levels. Elsdon is one of the great thinkers and delivers a very important lesson.

I bought this for a rock bottom price through an open box deal and had low expectations after reading some of the reviews prior to purchase; however I was pleasantly surprised by the content in here.

Mark’s thinking behind this technique is strong and easily customisable to any performer based upon their preferred method of performance. The DVD comes with a few effects, although additional items and training are required. These are fairly common items so you may already have them in your magician’s case.

I took a star off because Mark’s hurried pace and lack of clarity around one or two details was frustrating at times.

On the whole, this was a thoroughly enjoyable DVD with some great insights into strolling venue events.

Great theory in practice Report this review

A deep dive into workable routines for a big finale. You’ll receive the book as pdf. Although I was pleasantly surprised, there were some inconsistencies in the presentation of some routines that weren’t addressed.
However, all in all my recommendation, this is worth the price.
