Magic Tricks

This was a great lecture on many levels. First, because Jonathan's story is one of redemption. He had some problems which he mentions, but he has come out the other side much better for it. It is tremendous to see him doing well, in many ways better than he has ever been. Jonathan is one of the nice guys in magic (I've only worked with him a couple of times, but it was clear that he tries to help anyone who asks).Second, the lecture is good because Jonathan's love of his art shines in his work. This is not just a here's a trick, here's how to do it. It is much more a here are some tools, here are some ways to use those tools to turn a trick into magic. Third, it was great because of the depth to which Jonathan goes to explain and really teach the work. He want's the listeners to truly learn and goes out of his way to make things very clear. He is a natural teacher and it shows. All in all this was a truly incredible four hours. Even if you never do any of the pieces from the lecture, you will still learn much from the explanations. Highly, highly recommended.
