John Archer is his humorous self. And he teaches a lot of interesting tricks. But he does so in a
way that highlights that the tricks themselves are not what make the magic, but the magician.
His magic is not technically complicated or difficult, but many will find it hard to have the
same impact that he has. Why? They're trying to be John Archer when they they should be trying to be
themselves. This is a point John makes again and again in the lecture. This is the most fundamental
secret in magic.
John does a great job of showing how amazing and fooling magic can be, and
then surprises us by showing us how easy his magic actually is. And the lesson is this:
find
the easiest way to do the most amazing tricks and then work, work, work, work at making them your
own.
