This is obviously a performer with a wealth of experience... with magic that may not excite
magician-- but audience will love.
Some may be put off by his avuncular persona and humour
but, again, I imagine it plays great with his audience.
There is also a terrific balance
between theory and effect. Mark sets out his premise of the area of magic performance he's talking
about (close-up, walk-around, trade show, etc) and then delivers real world examples of effects that
he has doubtless performed 100s or 1000s of times.
For me though, the real gem of this
lecture was hidden near the end. I had heard rumours of Mark's Ring on String work for ages but had
never seen it. The two moves he shares here were, for me, worth-the-price -of-the-lecture moves.
Some good, some GREAT
