There was an 8 minute competition style performance, which concludes with the cups (seen in
trailer), at the start followed by a very long explanation of those 8 minutes. It was an amazing
act, obviously, because it won several awards. I learnt a bunch from this segment of the lecture.
There is a bunch of explanations about the jacket loads and modifications and things that
have gone wrong in the past that lead to what he has. This was amazing to me as I've done no work
with loads.
This is followed by some great material which are shown as individual pieces
with clips from a previous show. These include some cube magic, coins, ambitious-to wallet routine.
They all have some great tips and points but were not anything new for me.
This is all
followed by some individual slights and some of this was quite useful.
And the usual
interview at the end with Harlan was great.
I loved his explanations and the way he
communicates. Was fast paced and funny when performing and slowed down for explanations.
Only bad point - It slowed down a lot after the competition performance and became individual
tricks.
