Rob Bauer’s approach makes you think. But applying it to magic that is classic, but not the best is
a disservice. I also agree with the other (perhaps now withdrawn) review that the script in the show
is worn out and painful.
If someone is relatively new to magic, this lecture might be
valuable. But better magic (the more magical a trick, the more it does the heavy lifting of
entertainment) and better theory exists.
This is good for historical thinking and
approaches, but not for modern, better approaches.
