Magic Tricks

For those who are considering purchasing this, this is what was covered (I'm sure I've missed some things, and this only covers the first three hours of the lecture, not the 45-minute Q&A section that followed):

- "Search and Destroy"
- Tilt subtleties/misdirection
- Sandwich effects to complement S&D
- Hofzinser Catch; "Peel and steal" technique; Robert-Houdin break technique
- "Veggie Sandwich"
- Bluff pass/Nowhere Pass, technique and subtleties
- The Illusion Control; "Sexy Sadie Sandwich"
- Four-card Revelation Sequence
- "Panic"
- "Standing your ground" controlling audience's attention exercise
- "The Long and Winding Trick"
- "Machine"
- How flourishes fit into magic
- The classic pass, tips, techniques, misdirection
- How to practice the pass: "Think Stop"
- One-handed Popover/Indicator card handling
- "Hello Goodbye"
- "The Graduate;" effect and learning techniques
- "The Rising" (getting into some really challenging stuff here!)
- The Gravity Half-Pass
- "Revolution No. 9"
- Diminishing lifts sequence
- Additional work on the Robert-Houdin break
- "Helter Skelter"

Oh, and "House Pants."

This list doesn't give a feel for the overall themes of the lecture, which are what makes it so good. At one point Aaron talked about "the intersection of technique, misdirection, structure and presentation," and I really think the lecture was a masterclass in that.
