Magic Tricks

This is a recording of a live lecture Richard Osterlind did on Penguin Magic. As lecture is is not fully scripted and edited performance, still I give it the highest rating. It is not really just a performance of effects followed by explanations, though both of those occur. In fact, one effect Richard would not explain...and I do not blame him. He also makes a mistake with the first effect in the set up and later explains what he did wrong admitting his error and giving advice later on what can be done when something goes wrong.

The lecture is valuable more for its advice on performance, handling of volunteers and general ways of being a magician or mentalist and how a performer should be giving something to his audience...and I do not mean props...but experiences the audience can take with them for the rest of their lives.

This lecture has great general advice that would apply to any kind of magic from close-up to stage illusions and several tricks you can learn to do easily.

As a recorded event from a live Internet lecture, it lacks in production values, but that is simply not important. It is a little dark, but I guess Penguin will correct that in the next video download of Richard's next Internet lecture.

Thank you Richard for this and I will download your next lecture.
