The first half of the lecture was fairly predictable, not very well performed - with more than 1 mistake made - and generally a bit boring. The animal revelations were just ok but convoluted. The other stuff was standard effects with only a slight variation here and there. His work on DR is frankly awful.

The second half of the lecture, basically boiled down to learning to be a weather man! I mean seriously, in this day and age where anybody with a smart phone can get the weather 24/7 - this is not going to fool anyone but the most gullible!

I actually googled Art Vanderlay after this lecture to check out his website for the muggles. All I can say is, going by the standard of his website - a free wix one at that - should tell you all you need to know about the professionalism of this lecture.

Avoid at all costs and check out Bob Cassidy or Richard Osterlind for proper insight in mentalism!

What is his muggle website? I can't find it on google. I'm interested in knowing these things before I spend money on lectures.
Thanks!

he charges 75$ for a pdf on "moon manipulation" (penguin sells it)
yet his website costed exactly 0$ dollars... something is not right

you should better check Kennedy´s lecture
Ken Dyne on penguin
He is hilarious, he is a great performer, all his effects work, none of them fall flat and no Cloud Busting at all

Hi guys, thank you for the feedback on my lecture, I fully believe that the negative reviews help the most so we can all learn to become better at what we do.

Considering this was my very first magic lecture, I am extremely proud of it. The guys at Penguin have been amazing and the entire experience was simply "magical"

Regarding my website, which is www.matthewtownsend.tk, I have always used a Wix website as I prefer to handle the running of it myself and it has served me very well throughout the years and I have never felt the need to change it.

If you have any questions or comments regarding my lecture or my effects you can always contact me via artvanderlaymysteries@gmail.com.

Thank you once again for reviewing my lecture, it has certainly helped me work harder to become a better performer and creator.

Kind regards
Art

Very nice response Art and I hope all of them are "constructive" criticism's. It's always very easy to criticize and not put your talents out there. Best regards.
