"Morgan & West have produced a dizzying volume of original performance material in a staggeringly short space of time. Their performances are original, compelling and unique. I consider myself their biggest fan." - Luke Jermay

"It would be inaccurate to describe Morgan & West as one of a kind, because there are two of them. The result is an approach to magical teamwork that is delightful and innovative. And, by the way, although I don't know which routines they'll be teaching, my prediction is that they'll fool you -- and make you like it!" - Max Maven

"Morgan & West are among my favorite acts. Their material is innovative, their presentations are fascinating, and best of all, their show is so very whimsical. I am in awe of their material, and I will look forward to this unique opportunity to find out more about how and why they do what they do." - Joshua Jay

What will they teach?



The Real Transported Card - Two spectators are invited to the stage, where they select and sign cards. Without the spectators, the cards, or either of the magicians on stage ever crossing the stage, the signed cards impossibly teleport from one side to the other.

Hopes and Fears - Four spectators come onto the stage and are instructed to think of either a hope or a fear. By feeling the backs of the spectator's heads, Mr. West not only deduces who is thinking of a hope and who is thinking of a fear, but also the exact fear they are thinking of.

Balloon Animals of Death - A spectator is given the task of naming a new sidekick for Morgan & West. One by one, balloon animals are paraded in front of the spectator who decides which should 'die' and which one will 'live'. The spectator's choice of animal and name is predicted on a metal nametag found in an envelope they have been holding since the beginning of the trick.

Happy Rotter - Morgan & West invite a spectator to choose any of the volumes of JK Rowlings famous wizarding books, the audience picks a page, the spectator freely chooses a word on that page. Morgan & West have predicted every choice - book, page, and word - but incorrectly. Luckily Morgan & West have a time machine and manage to fix everything with a spot of time travel.

Hearing With The Ears - Mr. Morgan is blindfolded and a spectator brings a handful of change to the stage. Coins are dropped in a glass bowl and Mr. Morgan correctly identifies them by sound alone, culminating in correctly counting an entire handful of change dropped into the bowl. When the spectators driver's license is dropped in the bowl, Mr. Morgan is even able to hear details printed on the card.

Forgery - Morgan & West display four identical pictures of the duo. Three are 'fake' and one is 'real'. A spectator is asked to choose, one by one, which are fake. The fakes are marked on the back for later disposal. Morgan & West reveal that the spectator is correct in their choice not only by way of a sealed envelope, but also because the three "fake" pictures have transformed into a series of increasingly absurd images.

Who are they?



Morgan & West are the world's foremost time travelling magic duo. They make their living performing their stage magic shows all over the UK, and sometimes the rest of the world, as well. Despite both being under the age of 30, they are veterans of the Edinburgh Fringe festival, having performed a new hour long show there every year since 2009. They fooled Penn and Teller on the first series of Penn and Teller: Fool Us and have acted as magic consultants for theatre and television in the UK. They are renowned in the magic community for the amount of thought and originality that goes into their act, and for writing about themselves in the third person.

A 'Smashing good' lecture, eh what? Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 7th, 2015
These gentlemen produced and excellent lecture showing
their routines, how they perform their magic and then all
the little 'secrets' and 'advice' that you won't normally
find.

They have excellent material and really did a 'smashing good'
program instructing the viewer on more than just tricks such
as finding your Character.

Detailed and presented with a lively pace and good humor.
This is a very fine lecture well worth your time.

Stunning lecture Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 3rd, 2017
(This review is for Morgan and West LIVE)
I didn't know what to expect--or take away--from a lecture by two time-travelling Victorian magicians. After watching this download straight through in enthralled silence, I can unequivocally say that these two guys are geniuses, and it's easy to see all the high ratings.

Of course, you aren't going to copy them, but their small lessons in method, character, acting, and stagecraft are peerless, little wonder from two Oxford-educated former science teachers. It's all very logical and concisely laid out. (They even have PowerPoint to emphasize their points!) Like all of the world's best mentalists, you might be surprised to see that the methods themselves are simple, sometimes very simple, but have tremendous impact. Their work on two-person coding, for those who do it, is off-the-chart great. I can't wait to watch this again with notebook and pen in hand.

In summary, I'd love to see these guys live on stage. They are smart, funny, charming friends who just happen to be the best mentalists--time-travelling, Victorian, or otherwise--around.

Great, well rounded lecture Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 24th, 2016
I loved this lecture! Having seen these two perform live and also give a lecture at a convention in the UK I bought this knowing I was in safe hands.

As I hoped this, this 3-and-a half-hour lecture covered many different aspects of the Morgan and West act -
* performances and explanations of routines
* an insight into their creative process
* tips for creating codes from scratch
* handling situations that don't go as expected
* details on creating a character
* tips for getting on well when spending so much time together

Highly recommended!

Great entertainment Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 8th, 2019
I had just seen Morgan and west preform in London and was blown away with a few of their effects, being a penguin customer I didn't hesitate in downloading Morgan and west's lecture...it's amazing, from the tricks to the tips of performance these 2 chaps are great teachers and everything is easy to follow. I have completely fried a few of my friends with their effects and hope to catch a few more in the future..

Great character work Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 29th, 2018
Up front, let's be clear that if you are looking for some mind bending illusions or complex card sleights that will blow people's minds, this isn't the lecture you want. Rather, this is three and a half hours of illustrating how to put together a good act, how to develop a character, how to trim the fat and emphasize the most impactful parts of tricks. Most of the tricks performed aren't complicated--a point the pair make note of repeatedly--but keep an audience enthralled because of the character work and attention to detail. Their coding work is mindbogglingly good, but if you're a mentalist trying to get tips, there's not much advice they can offer beyond "come up with verbal and physical codes and practice until you memorize them."

Up there with the best Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 7th, 2015
If you are looking for sleights, moves or complicated gimmicks this isn't the lecture for you. But if you want to see how a modern double act that are at the top of their game works you're in the right place.

This is one of my favourite Penguin lectures so far.

Outstanding parlor magic Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 16th, 2022
There is so little platform / parlor magic that just about anything in this field is valuable. But Morgan and West provide so very much more. The effects are string and the methods clever. And boy are they entertaining.

Inspiring Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 6th, 2021
I am truly impressed with these two gentlemen. they are most informative, and very willing to share, both the information that lead to the tricks, but also in many ways these can be used by other magicians.

Outstanding ,splendid and spiffing Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 10th, 2018
Morgan and west take you through a superb lecture with insights into character building. They talk about how their tricks can be adapted to a single performer. Well worth the money just for the show alone.

Love the facial hair! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 13th, 2015
I absolutely loved this lecture. It is filled with simple, easy to perform miracles. But don't let the words easy or simple fool you. These routines are all well thought out from method to presentation.

If you didn't already want to be a time traveling magician you will once you finish this lecture!!!

Enjoy!
