Just to preface I rarely dislike anything. Some lectures are better than others, but they all have
some good to tons of great!
I am a huge fan of Piff the Magic Dragon, but after this
lecture I find that I do not share the same feeling for John VDP!
Every lecture I have seen
had one thing in common, the performer CLEARLY loved what he was doing. Not only was it clear that
from John's body language that he really had no interest in being there, he actually says it. As he
teaches each trick he shoots it "putting it to rest" because he never wants to do it again.
While I disagree with him (some of the material is very good) his distain for what he is doing
left a bad taste in my mouth.
This lecture was poorly structured (if he structured it at
all). He spent more time fumbling through papers on on his words and talking about himself than
anything else. My recommendation is that there are so many other lectures on penguin that are
great....skip this one!! Unless you are like me and have to see them all! lol
Just didn't do it for me!
