"In my eyes the very best of us came from the streets. The greats like Robin Williams, or Penn and Teller. Harry is one of those who cut his teeth on the streets. Put aside his time as one of the biggest tv stars in the world. He was a real worker who made his living performing magic that is powerful but even more importantly entertaining. Harry is the best of all of us and I'm honored to call Harry a friend and mentor. The opportunity to see a true living legend talk to you about performance of magic simply seems like a no brainer, DON'T MISS THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY?"

Aaaamazing Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 5th, 2012
I liked this lecture to the moon.

He gave some insights into this way of thinking about magic. He made some great remarks about making sure to include your audience in what you are doing.

To quote him about doing the magic square the way he does: ""When they do it. We all do it." If you want to know more about this moment...buy this lecture. You will not regret it. He means what he says and everyone should follow his advice.

He even talks about mistakes and how they lead to him doing a better version of a trick...

And be sure to write him at harrythehat@mac.com : to get a list of his tricks. I wrote him last night and he already sent me his list.

He talks of books to get. He speaks of some of his favorite tricks and routines. He gives tons of insight on how he keeps going...keeps problem solving until -eventually- you just know it is right/perfect. As close as you can get to perfect.

He gives so much in this lecture in regard to experience and his knowledge of what has worked for him. He is just dam* funny.

Get this lecture. Now. Do it. You'll be inspired. You'll be challenged. You'll be asked to put your audience in a better place and you will become a better performer for having done so...

Slightly underwhelmed Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 15th, 2012
Harry Anderson has done more for magic than you and I ever likely will, so it pains me to write anything even remotely critical here. However, I felt that while, on the whole, Harry is an engaging and entertaining performer, very little of that came across in this particular lecture.

Harry's presentation seemed to lack some of the polish that I had hoped for and while I don't begrudge anyone making a buck, I was a little disappointed that at several times during the lecture he appeared to be shilling for some of the products that he sells.

Still a "thumbs up", albeit a less than enthusiastic one.

Incredible Report this review

I saw this lecture in Toronto a few months back, and was thrilled to see it again, and even more thrilled that I now have it to replay at will.

If you know Harry's stuff, you won't learn any tricks from this. If you know Harry's stuff, you'll learn a lifetime's worth of performing lessons and philosophy.

I love Harry Anderson, he is an awesome performer and he is entertaining as hell.. but this lecture made me think he didnt even wanna be there.. i am only giving it 4 stars out of respect to the guy, but there are better penguin lectures out there.. if you are on the fence, dont buy it.

Golden performing tips! Report this review

The most important lecture I've ever seen real time or online. I've started to do open mic nights and the performing information Harry passed onto us was gold for me.

Harry's version of the Magic Square was worth the price of the lecture!

What a Pro, & Great Guy Report this review

That was a class act. Harry showed some great routines but more importantly the insight and thought he puts into them. I think we all know the magic square but never would think of using it in a show. I would do that routine, it was great. Hats off to ya Harry. Awesome lecture. :)

I actually decided to purchase the DVD version two days before his death 😥... Sorry buddy you were my favorite and will be greatly missed. Yes he plugs his other products but teaches you so much more.

Harry Anderson (Live) Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 28th, 2015
The content and presentation deserve a 5 rating. However, the production is a weak 3. The host did not know how to handle a microphone and much of his participation was lost. The audio was not monitored and as Harry spoke his voice volume varied and no compensation was made to keep the level at an understandable volume. Camera work was marginal. I don't know what the charge was for those in attendance but I paid $29 and would expect close to the same as they received in person. I would say you need to lower the price of the download to equal what you get for your money.

Harry is without a doubt one of the smartest and committed to the craft magicians/showman alive. All practicing magicians should take note and learn from Harry The Hat !!!!!

(This review is for Harry Anderson LIVE)
Brilliant thinker, creator and entertainer Harry had not done the act in a while and was a little rusty.

His comment on the magic square and card counting are some of the best I have ever heard.

Harry believed that the presentation and attitude you have trumps the trick every time.

Re: A Treasure Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 12th, 2019
For me, the value in this lecture is not the material. I may or may not adapt some of the material. Frankly, his material arises from his stage persona so it is clearly not right for everyone. The value of this lecture though is in his thought process which he clearly explains. If you understand how magical creativity works, the whys and wherefores, you are in a much stronger position to create your own magic which will greatly enhance your performance and improve our art. That is why I gave this lecture the highest rating possible not to mention that it is an opportunity to look behind the curtain of one of the greats of our art.
