I am a huge fan of Spelmann. When found out Marc was doing a lecture I instantly booked in to watch
it. This lecture is one of the best I have and he always manages to give that bit extra to the
people who support his work. The routines he teaches are so well taught, greatly presented and
superbly explained, you can see his thought process as he explains every element, what works, what
didn't and the changes he made. He knows how to build rapport with his audience and make them feel
at ease, he is charming and funny but also serious at times.
He talks about pre-show, when to
use it, why its done badly at times and why it can reduce the impact you created days after the
show. He talks about your impact from what the layman sees and how to keep that level of impact as
high as possible.
He discusses 6 effects which might seem very minimal for a lecture of this
length but what he does do is go through every tiny nuance and even give you different thoughts and
presentational ideas, so to me it was a lot more than 6 effects.
The host Dan Harlan is a great
mind and even answers some of my own thoughts and questions so a personal thank you to Dan Harlan as
well.
Marc also explains invisible thread work and a hook up that is superb and can be used for
many thread work PK demonstrations and Dan Harlan shares his own hook up which was very gratious of
him.
The final Q and A section made me think from a different perspective and made me laugh at
his stories, advice, mistakes and experience.
Marc has a huge passion for his work and equally
for those that love and use his presentations. There maybe only 6 major effects taught here but it
is full of advice and experience that you wont find anywhere else.
Thank you Marc, Dan and all
at Penguin for a fantastic lecture. i would have given this higher than 5 stars but it only goes to
5 stars.
