Magic Tricks

I've seen over 20 magicians lecture and have to say that Calen Morelli was, while not the highest rated, still a very good lecturer. I appreciate that he tried to do some things to help make it a unique experience, like adding props and a creative guest. There is a great Torn and Restored Transpo, based on both David Williamson's and the one David Blaine did in his first special. He also explains the method to a very visual hoodie-string through hoodie-string effect for those individuals not in the corporate sector. One of the more unique aspects was a sample "creative session" between him and Blake Vogt that was designed to show the audience how to get their creative juices flowing. I believe most of the rest of the effects are from his Function 9 DVD.

My only problem was that he's still young and it occasionally showed, especially when he brought his friend Blake out to help him. While both undeniably creative, there was just a bit too much giggling for my liking...

Although there's no denying that Calen has definitely proved himself in the business, I just think he has a few years left before he'll be able to more effectively communicate in his lectures. And I am definitely looking forward to when that time comes.

Overall I found the price of the lecture to be well worth the information I received from it.
