"Gaetan Bloom is one of the most creative and interesting people I have ever met. He's a genius when it comes to magic but he's much more than that. An amazing man, an incredible thinker and a top performer who knows how to really entertain an audience. He will fool you. He will make you laugh. And best of all he will inspire you." -Luis de Matos

"One of the greatest magical minds of our lifetime. He will fool you again and again." -Andy Nyman

“Gaetan Bloom is a French national treasure. He is really a creative superman. The most amazing part is not the sheer quantity of excellent material he comes up with. Believe me, he has great ideas all the time. For me the real genius is how simple and clever his methods are. When I grow up I want to be Gaetan Bloom.” -Kevin James

“Gaetan is not only a superb inventor of subtle secrets, but he is also one of the most entertaining performers – one whose magic is the high watermark of visual deception.” -David Ben

“I gave him his first lessons in magic when, as a child, he came to see me at the magic shop saying that he wanted to become a magician. It is a joy to see that he has surpassed the master. Gaetan is a magic superstar.” -Dominque Webb

“Gaetan is one of the most original and creative minds in magic. I've performed with him and he's a true gentleman with well thought out magic.” -Pete Biro

“Gaetan Bloom is the Einstein of Magic." -Kozak

Worthwhile, but.... Report this review

This one is really hard to rate, it had very few complete tricks but lots of stimulus for new ideas. Also Gaetan's accent was a little hard to follow at times.
Overall though the tricks were excellent and the stimulus excellent as well. The sort of video that leads to a search of eBay and Amazon right after. Perhaps weeks later a whole new original trick to add to your performance.

Great Lecture! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 19th, 2013
I had never seen Gaetan Bloom lecture before, and I was really looking forward to it! This lecture is really long, full of amazing tips on performance and on creating your own routines, interesting anecdotes about legendary magicians, but above all, some great effects to add to your repertoire. Gaetan is a very generous man! He didn't just share his tricks, he actually shared the original thinking that underpins his creativity! Consequently, I not only learned clever effects that will astonish laymen and magicians alike, but I also got a lot of inspiration to come up with my own creations.

If you want some really clever out-of-the-box thinking and original routines that your audience will have never seen before, then don't hesitate and buy this lecture!

good stuff for laymen to do at an event Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 8th, 2015
He's got good stuff if you're an MC at a wedding or throwing a stag and doe. You'll learn some inexpensive and easy ways to do tricks that play big, involve people, and have potential for fun.

His material might be helpful to a beginning magician trying to develop a stage show. Personally, I wasn't inspired or wowed or educated very much.

Some good stuff Report this review

The Man is a great entertainer and has some nice ideas and the few things I got out of it was worth the price of his lecture. Thought he talked a bit to much but glad I got to purchase it as I said previously , got me a couple of things for my show.

There really is nothing of value for me in this that isn't in Amazing Standing Card by Gaetan Bloom. I was disappointed.

wonderfully varied Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 11th, 2017
The "standing card" is a great visual, but you do need a table.
It messes with people's heads.

The dice routine is something I adopted, and it is similar to the bonus routine in Max Maven's "Nothing" dvd.

The subtle addition that Gaetan added to the "vanishing bottle" is brilliant.
Check out Jon Armstrong's penguin lecture for a similar subtlety.

The routine with the paper plates is wonderful. It packs relatively small and plays big. It's mayhem as the plates are tossed around, yet the plot is simple to follow. The dice in the box though needs to be made.

The "inexhaustible sponge" is a nice running gag, but not for me. Also, you'll need to get the sponge - if it is still available. It does demonstrate Gaetan's way of thinking.

Great thinking Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 29th, 2022
There were few complete effects on show although the standing card is worth the price of admission. I loved the chalk board effect (which you’d have to build yourself).

What we got was a 3 hour conversation full of great insights and a look at Gaetons way of thinking. We got a few examples of how he’d taken an existing trick and improved it. This was all wonderful stuff.

He recounted stories from his career which I found relatively interesting although your mileage may vary.

Gaeton was ill on the day of filming but persevered and there isn’t too much impact. Dan interacted well with him to keep things flowing.

The audience were a bit meh. I assume they’re all magicians but they didn’t come across as overly enthused. I’m not asking for L&L levels of insanity but it does impact on the whole lecture if they’re not into things.

SO CLEVER Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 22nd, 2013
This Lecture is full of creative magic. Alot of the tricks you will have to make and buy some boxes or what not but the effect is really amazing. He teaches so many great gags and tricks that each should be worth the price of the lecture.
