Great for theory Report this review

If you are wanting to learn effects, then I would recommend checking out getting Michael Ammar's Live Lecture or Michael Ammar's Live Act from Penguin. While Ammar does teach some effects a lot of what is covered is theory and stagecraft.

A few effects are not taught: his new gimmick for the pencil thru coin; a card transposition; and phone in balloon (this one is not his to teach which is understandable).

He quickly covers silk thru mic, little hand, his topit work, cracked & restored phone screen, coin from credit card, the side steal, and an add a number effect. If this is your first exposure to the workings of these effects, then you may want additional tutelage which is why I recommend his other lectures & live acts.

Ammar goes in depth on Crazy Man's Handcuffs, a coin switch, and serial number prediction. While the effects are nice, the real value comes from him talking about how he created his set for Late Show with David Letterman; how he selects effects; how he keeps his magic memorable; restaurant work; act structure; and a variety of other stories.
