I gravitate towards the dark, subtle and esoteric, and usually try to be supportive of other
performers in this genre. That being said, I was disappointed by this lecture. I knew Bill's name,
but was not familiar with his work, as it is usually released as extremely expensive PDFs that I
can't afford. When I saw that there was going to be a lecture, I was very excited to learn these
mysteries that had been out of my reach, and taught by an expert. I was expecting a masterclass in
bizarre magic.... Which it wasn't.
The presentation seemed unprepared and unrehearsed.
The lack of confidence as a public presenter, and the questionable successes of the material leads
me to beleive that Bill is more "theoretical" than "real-world" as a performer. Maybe I am wrong,
and if so apologize. When I watch a lecture, in any field I am interested in, I am wanting insights
from a professional who can share the skills and experiences that allowed them to succeed in their
vocational arena. I did not get that from this lecture.
You will find at least a few
things useful, and some of his ideas will definitely get your creative juices flowing, regardless of
your genre as a performer, but there were no "aha!" moments. I was expecting professional, but it
wasn't...
