I'm a big fan of Mac King's and this was a wonderful opportunity to hear wisdom of his pertaining to
a long career in magic.
I did not go in looking for tricks to perform, but for insights
and thinking related to creating and performing. He delivered.
One small drawback, and I'm
including this just in case my critique can have any influence on future lectures, is that host Dan
Harlan had a tendency to speak over Mac and interrupt him, particularly during the Q&A. I know it
was unintentional, and Dan is a cool person, but a good rule of thumb would be: if the guest
lecturer is speaking, the host's mouth needs to stay shut :)
I don't want to end my review
on a critique, so I will say that topics discussed included: packing light, pocket management,
politics (getting along with other performers at a club), spectator / audience management, dealing
with bad crowds / bad shows and way more.
Great Lecture
