Let me first say that I really enjoyed Danny's lecture. I read his cover story in Genii magazine
back in march and knew I wanted to attend. I was not disappointed at all. He spoke from experience
and gave the rest of us some very sage advice and pitfalls to steer away from.
I am
primarily a children's entertainer and found this lecture far more valuable than the dozens (yes,
dozens) of lectures on cards. Thanks to penguin for going outside the box and bringing in an expert
on a field other than cards or coins. Bravo!
My only criticism is that there were too many
times Danny was plugging other products of his for sale on "his" website. I understand an
occasional plug here and there, but at times (for me) it got a little excessive. No less than 6
products He talked about and plugged for a while during the lecture. I bought the lecture for the
content, theory and sound advice on effects to perform for children, not to sit through an
informercial. It got to be a little frustrating after the 4th blatant plug for his products.
Dan Harlan did a great job moderating the lecture and kept the interview discussions on point.
I learned a lot during that portion, so kudos to Him..
In all, great lecture. Definitely
worth the buy. Just be prepared for multiple commercial breaks ;)
