Magic Tricks

This lecture is so great! So many insights. Yes, great effects or “tricks” but to me it’s the philosophies behind the tricks that can make or break them.
Greg is a wonderful and very experienced host. I love that he has the ability to ask the questions that are important and the fact that he called Garrett out on a flash (in a very professional way) was wonderful!
Also the comment about Jay Sankey always using the Erdanase Change was great (I was thinking that for years now).
If you are looking for great effects and routines then this lecture will be right up your alley. If you are looking for great insight and philosophy about magic then this lecture is right up your alley.
Yes, he fooled Penn & Teller but he also discusses how the effects created for the show are deterring from actual spectator astonishment. Which I fully agree with.
If you are a real worker then you NEED this lecture. If you are a hobbyist you will probably benefit by skipping past it. It’s 3 hours long. Yes there are 5 wonderful ideas and effects explained but for anyone who is willing to invest the time: this is a great lecture and you will more than likely learn 10-20 “tricks” from it!
