This lecture is an excellent example on how to add presentation and meaning to your magic rather
than just a list of tricks.
I like how each of these effects has a premise, plot and a
payoff that actually makes sense. All too often we see an effect that is "magic" but there is no
rationale or reason to the trick.
Gadabout Coins Revisited brings an entertaining approach
to a common 2 in the hand, 1 in the pocket presentation. I've had this performance script since the
early 2000 and have performed it hundreds of times. The presentation gets a big reaction compared to
the usual sleight of hand approach.
Clones from Brazil is an excellent presentation that
actually brings rationale to a sponge ball routine.
Second Sight, The Bar Bill Stunt and
Lots O' Luck provide entertaining approaches to classic acts of mentalism and sleight of hand.
The lecture provides a lot of insight into sleight of hand techniques and subtleties that will
improve your technical approach to magic as well as improve your presentation and impact on your
audience.
Great Lecture. Presentations that make sense!
