Magic Tricks

Short Review

Carisa’s lecture is a careful study of character, comedy, and creativity. With her combination of strong characters and solid methods, she delivers a detailed 5 HOUR experience that raises the bar of penguin lectures. With advice for stand-up, children’s and close-up performers her lecture provides a lot to the magic world and will act as a resource to many performers. I highly recommend it.

Longer Review

WOW! This lecture is one of my favorites ever produced by Penguin Magic. You're not getting an act assembled and filmed for the sake of filming. You get the act Carisa has performed hundreds of times all around the world. This is easily seen as ever aspect of both acts is thought out completely. Carisa has studied her audiences with as much detail as she has studied the art of magic. You are getting routines and ideas that are solid, they’ve been worked out in the real world and designed to maximize audience impact. From prop management to construction you'll learn everything about the act. You even see how the act packs and travels. These tips are valuable to any performer who is traveling with an act. In this massive 5 HOUR experience, Carisa shares information on:

-Character creation and development
- Working with an accent/speech coach
- Using film, audio, and audience data to make
incremental changes in your act.
- Creating interesting visual pictures and shapes on
stage to make your act more memorable
- How to make all the props you need, including pitfalls
to avoid (additional notes are included)
- A killer coding system
- A sure-fire way to approach someone with close-up magic
in a corporate setting
- Her bubble solution & Bubble Show Notes
- you can make a whole show from this
- Joke construction and theory
- AND MORE

Honestly, this is just the tip of the iceberg with this lecture. It’s everything the ad copy and more. Carisa’s teaching style is detailed, thought out and easy to follow. This is one of the best lectures ever produced by Penguin. With Lucy’s 45-minute act and Dee Dee’s 30-minute act, you’ll enjoy watching this lecture as much as you enjoy learning from it. If you are a serious student of magic and character you need to get this lecture, you won't be disappointed.
