This is my first introduction to Paul Vigil and I’m so happy that I bought his lecture.
Two things that I love:
1. How he takes classic and simple effects and adapts them to his
unique performing style. It shows you how with a little bit of thinking and routining you can
transform a simple trick into a full entertaining presentation.
2. I like how each trick helps
transitioning into the second one. A great demonstration of how you can have 4-5 simple trick yet
create a full act that flows from beginning to end.
One think that is lacking a bit:
1.
His teaching assumes context and knowledge that may not be in every person watching the lecture
library of knowledge. Many times if it wasn’t for Dan’s interventions a lot of important information
would go unexplained.
Yet even with Dan’s help, there are several effects and gimmicks that
are not fully explained and no resources are provided to help give a full understanding of the craft
and/or performance.
This is a missing opportunity from an education and learning
perspective.
That said, this is a MUST watch lecture!
Mostly brilliant
