“Oz Pearlman has drive, energy and enthusiasm!” -Magic Magazine

Oz Pearlman is one of the busiest performing mentalists in the country. He developed an interest in magic at a young age and what started as a hobby ended up becoming a lifelong passion. After a couple of years spent working on Wall Street, Oz decided to pursue his dream and become a full time entertainer. He has now been dazzling audiences with his world-class sleight of hand and mind reading ability for over a decade.

In 2004, Oz launched his own one-man Off Broadway show, WatchMagic, a hit with audiences and critics alike. Upon witnessing the upbeat show, the New York Times declared “Even skeptical viewers are won over!” His client list reads like a who’s who of politicians, professional athletes, A-list celebrities, and Fortune 500 companies. Oz’s television appearances have aired on both national and international networks, including a recent appearance on NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon; his radio appearance on the top-rated Elvis Duran show in the morning was heard by millions across the nation.

His natural charisma and charm make him the perfect choice for corporate events and private parties alike. Oz’s unique blend of magic and mentalism create an interactive experience that is redefining the very nature of a magic show…one that truly needs to be seen to be believed.

Who is Oz Pearlman?

Oz Pearlman has been dazzling audiences for the past 10 years. His talents caught the eye of an up and coming company named Penguin Magic. Along with his help, they became the dominating force in online magic distribution in less than 2 years. He has released 3 card magic DVDs, Stealing Pips, Born to Perform card magic, and WatchMagic, all of which have become blockbusters selling thousands of copies in over 35 countries. More recently, he released 3 new DVDs on close-up mentalism. He is also an accomplished performer, completing a 9-month run of his Off-Broadway show, WatchMagic, where the NY Times hailed “even skeptical viewers are won over”. Oz is a real world performer with extensive experience in close-up and stand-up magic in a variety of venues, and has a true passion for teaching.

What does Oz cover in his lecture?

Oz Pearlman’s lecture consists entirely of high-impact, visual magic! Oz will perform some of his most treasured routines and creations, and after he’s done fooling you, he’ll teach them in great detail. The material will consist of primarily card magic, with a mix of mentalism and magic with everyday items. Not only will you learn the sleights and moves that go into each routine, but the subtleties and little touches that transform a trick into a miracle. There is a variety of material covered in the lecture, and something for magicians of all skill levels. The routines, sleights, and flourishes range from beginner to advanced, with an emphasis on direct, commercial magic that you will USE. This is one lecture you can’t afford to miss!

best lecture so far Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 20th, 2012
I'm a big fan of this recent wave of online lectures, having seen nearly every one of them. This, in my humble opinion, has been the best of them.

There are a few reasons for this. First, one of my biggest disappointments/critiques with the other lectures has been that it seems like there are times during the lecture where they are free-styling it, a.k.a. using everyone's time inefficiently. This wasn't so with Oz Pearlman; he's a guy who thoroughly understands teaching and pacing, given the number of videos he's done. He was very well prepared and it showed. He also gave us some great material, instead of filler.

Next, there were excellent insights on performance, theory, and magic management. This is the main reason why I watch the lectures; for me personally, showing how a trick is done is nice, but I already have so many products I don't really need more. It's the stories and practical advice that highlight my experience.

Finally, Oz did an extra HOUR of lecture! It was a nice nod to the people who paid to see him and it showed how much he loves doing what he does. His attitude towards the craft is contagious and really motivating. It was an encore performance that I greatly appreciated.

One final thanks to Acar for fielding a large number of questions from the Twitter feed. Feeling like the internet audience could actually ask questions and have them answered makes a big difference in making me want to come back for more lectures.

Overall, definitely worth the price. If you're looking to test one of these lectures out, my advice is to start with this one.

Seriously awesome Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 5th, 2012
Oz Pearlman (for me anyway) really is the best magician on Penguin.. his style of performing and teaching make him a pleasure to watch.

This lecture contains so much advice and tricks for every situation, whether it be close up card magic or mentalism on a stage full of people.

Its such good value for money and I really want Oz to do another lecture/release more tricks on penguin.

I'd recommend this to any magician, especially those with a bit of experience and who are willing to branch out from just cards and perhaps head into new territoy.

Nice one Penguin/Oz... great tricks, great advice all of which has made the purchase worthwhile.

11/10.

Great lecture, great performer Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 19th, 2012
I think Mr Pearlmans lecture was one of the best lectures "Penguin LIVE" offered thus far.
A very relaxed lecture with a very good pace and energy!

And wow...I couldn't recognize Oz at first. I still knew him from his demo-clips for penguin and the Born to perform DVD, but the evolution since then is amazing!
I think it would be amazing to see him perform in real life!


PS: If you can...Please buy ALL the Penguin live lectures...
The advice and tips in all of these lectures are worth ten times the price!
And that just the advice and tips :-)

Very much a mentalism lecture, and a few effects we've seen before... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 27th, 2018
Many people here got into Oz from his fantastic Born to Perform Card Magic DVD and his various Penguin promotions. As a mentalist he's certainly a lot quieter as a creator, presumably enjoying his performing career.

This is a great, detailed lecture. Oz is as good a teacher as ever but don't expect much in the way of cards - the focus is definitely on mentalism (and includes his famous AGT routine) and the card tricks he opens with are covered in more detail in his other products.

It's a solid purchase, but having Oz's DVDs I had most of the material already.

Oz delivers a knock out Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 14th, 2012
It took me 6 tries and two weeks later to watch his whole lecture. I was able to watch the last 1/2 hour live then I was able to watch the rest of it as I had time. I have seen Oz perform in person 3 times and got to watch him perform and lecture at IMX 2011. Oz is the person who got me back into magic in 2009. The first time I saw him I was in aw at how smoothly and flawlessly he performs. This live lecture did not disapoint me. I have watched it all the way through twice now and I plan on watching it over and over again. Oz's personality is perfect for lecturing, he tries his hardest to explain every detail so that the student can undertand everything even the small details nothing is left out. If you only purchase one lecture, this is the one, Oz is great. I can't wait for him to come back and do many more lectures.

If I may say, these Live lectures have been well worth the money that they cost, buy them all. Support live magic.

Solid Mentalism Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 4th, 2012
I must say up front that this isn't my type of magic or mentalism that I like to do. But the information and thought behind the ideas are solid.

Most of the lecture is dedicated to mentalism. There is a few other tricks discussed, but these are in the minority.

Fast paced and amazing Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 30th, 2018
It's 11/30/2018, and I'm just watching this lecture for the first time. Although I've been a subscriber for months, and have purchased many lectures from the back catalogue, I guess I thought, "Oz. He's the card guy who did the early demos, right? So now he's into mentalism? Yeah, no." But here's the thing - this is far and away one of the best lectures I've ever purchased anywhere. Oz has some terrific ideas for tweaks to routines you may already be familiar with. Based on the advice he gives for presentation, marketing, and working parties and corporate events, its obvious that he speaks from experience. He even says more than once, "I thought this would be the best way to do it, but based on reactions during professional gigs I decided it was best to do it this other way." Truthfully, I purchased this just to learn 21st Century Phantom, as I have a set of prop cards sold by Propdog, and the actual DVD has been discontinued. That explanation of that one effect was worth the purchase, but this is so much more in this lecture that's equally awesome. At something like 3 1/2 hours, there is absolutely no downtime in this lecture. Oz brings it every second, and is extremely generous and candid about sharing his experiences and his professional repertoire. I learned 21st Century Phantom, and was happy just learning that, then there are so many other incredible routines in this lecture, I can't imagine anyone not being happy with this.

Very detailed! Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 18th, 2014
Ok, let me just say that anyone who is considering buying a penguin lecture and can't decide which one to watch first, Oz Pearlman's would be the way to go! Oz has some pretty cool effects in here and some well thought out mentalism, but what I love even more than that is with every trick, this guy explains the psychology behind it when interacting with your audience. Everything in this lecture is explained in such detail, right down to the toenail. I just can't cover how much I love it, because I love it so much!! He gives such great advice about how to present your magic and mentalism. I wish this guy was my personal mentor!
