BLUF: Brad's lecture offered classically solid magical performances, with engaging patter, and
thoughtfully motivated sleights. You will find something of value that you can use.
Brad
Henderson delivered a solidly engaging performance. It was exactly what this new Penguin LIVE ACT
format has been missing. I'm not going to single out any one act, but several acts/lectures have
been subpar at best and the ad copy-quotes and reviews have been riddled with exaggerated and overly
flattering statements.
Brad was eloquent in his patter and pleasant in his demeanor. There
was evidence of years of thought behind his performances and a level of likability and
professionalism not found in many performers, of late.
Historically, with few exceptions, I
have found the LIVE ACTS offer very little in the way of new or inspiring magic, but I stayed for
Brad's explanations and motivations. I was pleasantly surprised to find the lecture portion was
just as thoughtful and engaging, if not more, than his performance.
I believe, regardless
of the type of magic you perform or the level of your ability, Brad has something to offer.
Solid Performance from a Solid Performer
