I have been subscribing to Penguin Magic Live for almost a year and half and I think this was one of
the well-prepared lectures.
Some lecturers, despite their reputation or skills just doesn't
put enough "effort" into the lecture. Some of them may not even perform live but just pulls out
some mere "ideas" and "tools" and leaves the students to decide on how to present and perform. It
is very hard to utilize a newly learned "tool" or "idea" and build a whole new act without any
"examples" or "benchmarks" from the actual creator.
In that sense I think Menny's lecture
was very good as he has tried to present all the acts as if he was actually performing to his
clients.
Also, he has come prepared with several lecture aids (such as enlarged version of
certain gimmick to clearly demonstrate the construction) to maximize the learning experience.
One downside is that some of his lecture was mere demonstration and explanation of his products
(thus you need to buy the product in order to perform them), but I think it was still worth it as he
very well demonstrated his products, so you would not need to worry about "would this product be
worth buying?" kind of question
Thank you Menny for a great lecture!
