Putting together a magic show can seem like an insurmountable task, especially if you've never done it before. But, as challenging as it seems it actually comes down to a few easy-to-grasp concepts that have been used in theatrical productions for thousands of years with incredible success.

In this lesson, Dan give you expert guidance from his extensive background in theater and knowledge gained as a professional magician.

He tells you how to capture your audience's attention right from the start and keep them entertained for your entire show.

But he also goes deeper into the core of what a great show is, by explaining step-by-step how you can increase the impact of every trick you do and give each one a unique feel by using premise-driven scripting based on your own relatable ideas so your show will have more variety.

In short, Dan tips the real work about how to take any trick and turn it into an entertaining piece of magic that will find a permanent home in your show.

No esoteric nonsense or theoretical conjecture here. Instead, you will learn the fundamental principles of the critical aspects of the performing arts.

Dan shows you the Three-Act structure derived from Aristotle's writings, and still in use today in every form of entertainment: movies, TV, and live theater.

Dan explains how to create and identify finished pieces from your repertiore and how to use his Triple-Trilogy concept to plug them properly into your show.

So, if you're willing to do the work, Dan's advice will have you performing the best magic of your life in less time than you ever thought possible.

If you're ready to truly become the magician you've always wanted to be, then this is the most important lesson you'll ever learn.

This is gold! Report this review

If you're like me, when you first started out in magic you saw someone perform a routine that just blew you away. Then you practiced until you could perform the routine too, only to go out and perform it for others and find that the routine or trick didn't move them like it moved you.

Dan does a brilliant job of explaining how you can get the biggest reeactions out of the effects you show your friends, and how to leave audiences that you perform for remembering your show for years to come.

This lesson can even help you find your personal style if your magic persona has an identity crisis.

The pros already know how important having a vast knowledge of how to plan a magic or mentalism show is, and the content in this video and book are worth far more than the asking price.

If you're aiming performing for real, this video and supporting pamphlet are pure gold. The dollars you spend here will shorten your trip to your first performance, aim you toward being as effective as you hope to be, and pay a return on your investment several times over. I imagine that many magicians who already perform regularly can learn some valuabl lessons here. Thank you, Dan.

Solid advice Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 6th, 2015
I have almost all of the Tarbell lessons Dan Harlan has done so far, and I've never reviewed any until now. This one is worth a mention because it stands out. This is a lesson worth many times more than its cost. This lesson has some of the best routining advice you'll find anywhere. Harlan knows magic and he knows theater, and magic is theater of a special sort. There's a big difference between being able to do some great, jaw-dropping magic tricks and being able to do a professional-looking magic show. If you've never put a show together, this is where you can easily start to learn how to do so. If you know some good tricks and you're thinking of doing shows for money, get this lesson and watch it carefully.

The Best Yet Report this review

The price for the PDF file should be more than what's being charged. This is a lesson I've already gone through a couple of times and it hasn't even been out 24 hours. I've already started utilizing the structure to create a more rounded interesting show.

The bar is now set incredibly high Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 2nd, 2015
I have loved these videos by Dan. His ability to find new ways to make old tricks applicable is nothing less than genius.
In this lecture, Dan has outdone himself. Anyone who listen's carefully, reads carefully (a set of Dan's lecture nots is included), and actually takes action with what they have learned cannot help but get much, much better as a performer.
This is worth much more that the price of the video. Every single reader should sell what they have and buy this lecture. This is said often, rarely true, but this lecture has the ability to change your magic, and yourself forever.
My highest recommendation

Useful and practical information Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 28th, 2015
This is great information and guidance about magic in theory and practice.

As a magician you will come to a piont where you know enough "WTF?!" and "how does that even happen?" effects that gets a good reactions from audiences. this is when you should start thinking about being able to perform some of these pieces as a set.

This lecture will teach you the fundamentals of making a performance entertaining alongside tips on scripting etc.

You will also get help picking out and personalize the rigth effects and organizing your "needs".

Along with the please you audience lecture (With Michael Ammar) this is one of the most enligthening tarbell lectures. Dan Harlan is good at teaching, and you can tell he put alot of thougth into it.

We need more practical knowledge like this...

Just knowing exactly what to say during an effect really makes a difference...
