Magic Tricks

Having heard Allan Ackerman's name many times over the years I was expecting a very high caliber lecture. How disappointed I was. Although it's true that Ackerman's moves are deceptive, they do not look natural or motivated, indeed at times it's as if he's gone out of his way to make his actions look unnatural. Add to this presentations that are dull, poorly constructed, badly worded, dated, and at one point arguably homophobic, and teaching that was seriously rushed and frequently hard to follow, and you have a bloated confusing mess of a lecture that only really serves to illustrate why so many laypeople hate card magic. Anyone considering this should get something else. I'd give it 0 stars if I could.
