I may be too spoiled by other lectures, but the effects didn't do anything for me. A lot of them were obvious and lacked a wow factor. There were also a lot of bad angle. I have watched a number of lectures hosted by kranzo, and I dislike his crude humor. He also needs to talk less.

Kyle's lecture was great. Much like Bizzaro's Penguin Live lecture, I'd say that Kyle gave me a lot of ways to approach creating my own gimmicks in innovative ways. There's a few effects on here I think I may use, but overall I think this lecture is great for those that want to create their own material. A lot of people may only want ready-to-perform effects, but personally this is a great change of pace. If you're interested in creating your own magic I highly recommend this lecture. Kyle has some great thinking on using every day items and I can't wait to see what he's still got up his sleeve.

On a side note, I agree with the other commenters—it would be nice if the host really only asked twitter questions when appropriate, but not constantly add/interrupt Kyle. If you've ever been to a lecture, you'll know that this would never happen because frankly, it's uncomfortable.

First I want to say Kyle is a very creative young man and I agree with his statement Magic should be fun. In the first chapter of the classic "Magic and Showmanship" Magic without meaning is nothing more then a puzzzle. The material left me Ho Hum. There is allot of good visual's but in the end analysis so what. Yes there is some fun clever things but not much I would perform. I gave the lecture a 3 because again I think Kyle is a very clever guy and he probably gets good reactions from his material. His use of the Magican's force in the bagining trick was not good and I hope those watching the lecture do not adopt this. It was so obvious and would not fool an adult audiance. There are much better forces that could be used.

I do not agree with other reviewrs that this was the best lecture. I am sure I might get some value out of it as I watch it again. But so far luke warm. It was in impulse purchase and I should have waited for more reviews.

this is a realy nice lecture!!!
the tricks are realy nice and i learn some new material that i gonna sure use!
im dont like all the tricks he teached in the lecture, but i learnt as i say, amazing materials that i gonna use, and almost everyone of the magic tricks good, and thats why i gave it 5 stars!
you realy have to buy it!

I hated rating this lecture 5 Stars but it's as high a rating as Penguin would allow me to give.

Highly informative, extremely entertaining original magic! I have taken a lot from this lecture.

The magic nerd is a NINJA! Thanks Kyle for getting my creative juices flowing...

it was very very very bad. it was not nearly worth 25$. I could see how to do every single trick before he even tought it. very impractical tricks and i'm very disappointed. Do not buy!!!!!

I liked this lecture. But please, can some one ask Nathan to put a cork in it sometime?

Lecture wise, I thought it was good, with some very usable ideas. Nice to get a lot of none-card stuff, and some pretty creative thinking.

There are a few ideas that I will use, and that makes the lecture worth it for me.

As a good friend Kyle is he is very creative and shared a lot of great matiarial in this lecture that I will use and most of you probably will use to best lecture ever thanks Kyle

I really enjoyed this lecture, and though it was great. Kyle taught many great effects over the course of the lecture, and I feel that I have spent my money well. Kyle’s magic is all very innovative, and not your usual magic. I can see where some people may have not liked this, because Kyle did not teach too many full routines, but in my opinion this is great. When you get a full routine laid out for you, it ruins the creative part of the magic process and, in my opinion, destroys the point of magic. Overall, if you are creative, and are looking for some new and fun magic I would highly recommend it.

Kyle is a very creative guy and has some great visual ideas!
