This was not only an excellent lecture, but an important one for a number of reasons...
If
you are into magic theory, Bannon discusses not only how to create sleights, effects and routines,
but effectively describes WHY various approaches work, and why others do not.
If you are
one of the few who are lucky enough to get paid to perform for "real" people, Bannon's historical
presentation of effects revisits some of his "classics," and progresses to his current offerings,
all of which are in the working repertoires of some of today's pros. As some of these routines are
now decades old, they can actually be played as "new" for younger generations.
Finally, if
you are just a fan of magic, Bannon has the goods, and tips his hand on some of his finest
offerings. The trouble with someone like Bannon, is that he has such a wealth of outstanding
material, it is difficult to whittle down the choices for a lecture.
No "filler" here -
this one is certainly worth the minimal investment.!!
