This lecture (and his second one on these series) is a true masterclass
You will be inspired, you will learn interesting material and you will get a taste of what real magic should look like.

Thanks for the experience mr Jeff.

First of all, this is not one of the longest lectures ever,but it is definitely one of the best.

Jeff McBride is a living legend and even if you don't perform any of the tricks he shares,you will learn a lot of things about the art of magic and you will be motivated to become a better performer.

This lectures contains something for everybody,from the beginner to the seasoned pro. Make yourselves a favor and get this. After all you don't get the chance to learn from a true master everyday.

The commando show is the premise that you walk up to the venue, perform, and walk out without having to set up, clean up, provide audio cues, etc. Truly a packs small and plays big without restrictions on the venue. Jeff's commando show involves card manipulation & throwing, silk magic, sponge effects, and butterfly blizzard.

Jeff teaches
*Card productions
*Card throwing
*Serpentine silk
*Knots off silk (BEKOS)
*Dancing silk
*Butterfly blizzard
*Torn & restored bill
*Dancing cane
*Liberation ritual (string through finger)

They run out of time before he can teach the sponge ball routine. He demonstrates using the squeaker to produce sound effects, but does not teach how to produce individual sound effects.

If any of the effects sound interesting to you, then go ahead and purchase that effect. McBride provides an intro to the effect, but you will want to purchase the effect to get all of the nuances, details, and props for it. If you got the props for BEKOS second hand but without instructions, then you could use this video to fill in the gaps. If you wanted to truly learn BEKOS, then you should buy the effect proper. I own BEKOS and heartily recommend it and its instruction. I cannot quite say the same about the instruction here.

The philosophy and tips provided by McBride are excellent. He provides considerations for taking a close up effect and bringing it on stage. He does teach how to pack small and play big. He has other material about the commando show; however, and it is a better resource than this download. Nothing here is bad, but there are better resources - also by Jeff McBride.

this is by far the best download ever do yourself a favor get this ,,,,,

Its wonderful only thing bad about it is you need to get his 2nd lecture because there was a few delays.
