What will he teach?

Kernel- After swallowing an uncooked corn kernel, Eric makes it come out of his EYE! You want to get a TON of mileage from the smallest of props.

Chopstick- A stunt that hurts to watch but it is a great impromptu stunt you can do at the dinner, . You place the sharp end of a chopstick at the front of your throat and push it into your throat until it finally breaks. Looks painful but it isn't.

Mental Floss- Eric pulls a balloon through his his nose and out his mouth and flosses his nasal cavity.

The Human Blockhead- The classic of all classics.

Deck Tear- Flex your superhuman strength when you tear a deck of cards in half. The spectator will try and fail but when you demonstrate your superman strength they will be completely stunned.

Instinct by Matt Mello- Eric's favorite version on the classic Smash and Stab routine. After a spectator secretly hides a nail under 1 of 4 cups, Eric slams his hand down on 3 of the cups leaving the nail cup unharmed and his hand safe and sound. One of best party tricks of all time.

I have been very interested in sideshow stunts for a long time and have performed a number of them in my shows. As Eric says, there aren't really any good resources to learn a lot of this stuff, so I jumped on the opportunity to learn some more.

All in all, this is a pretty good lecture. Eric teaches the stuff well. A lot of it is very basic. If you've been doing this stuff before, you probably know much of it. Blockhead, for example, is the oldest trick in the book. Kernel, as well, has been taught many times. I first learned it from Marc Spellman, but it's (or a variation) been taught in plenty of other places. I do like Eric's handling slightly better than Marc's, but both are good. Eric also actually does a better job teaching instinct than Matt Mello, who I have long suspected doesn't actually perform in the real world.

About half of this was new to me. The can smash is excellent. I was shocked at how well it worked when I first tried it. Hopefully my wife won't mind too much if all of our cans get dented :) Chopstick is great too. We'll see if I ever work up the courage to do it. He teaches the deck tear well, as well as how to build up the strength for it, but I'm pretty weak. I don't know if it will ever be relevant for me. Mental floss is good but it feels like there's a step missing. I don't have the right kind of animal balloons at the moment. I have to get some to see if I can make it work.

Verdict: While this lecture was excellent and I enjoyed every minute, I own about 75 penguin lectures and this was by far the shortest one I have seen. Eric is clearly an incredible resource, and its a shame he didn't choose to teach more.
