Magic Tricks

Dan Harlan does a great job of being entertaining while teaching magic. He also goes over the concepts behind these tricks, teaching things that will improve all of your magic.

Some tricks are inspired by the recent Tarbell tricks he's covered -- in particular, Sightless Sight from lesson 84 and Telephone Number Prediction from lesson 91.

The only of these tricks that I plan to try out myself are Push and Psychic Paper. If I ever get into gimmicked coins, Rising Dough is one I'll keep in mind. The only one I didn't like at all was Win/Win which I though was too much work for the effect.

A negative is that this lecture is misnamed as there was nothing "live" about it. Most of it was recorded over a month ago, when Harlan had a smaller beard.
