"By any standards, Jon is one of the finest magicians and entertainers you could possibly learn from. What Jon doesn't know about entertaining people with magic -- and earning a good living into the bargain -- isn't worth knowing. This will be a terrific lecture of brilliant thinking and top-class entertainment... don't miss it!" - Ian Rowland

"Jon Armstrong's Magic is a worker's dream! I have seen him devastate audiences at the Magic Castle and other venues. They were laughing and gasping at the same time!

"If Jon Armstrong were a comic book character, he'd be a super knowledgeable sidekick with magical powers that saves the day. Now he's ready to make you the hero as he shares his most powerful secrets, expertly instructing you in how to produce the kind of miracles that have made him a crowd pleasing multi-award winner. If you want to master the superpower to astound and amaze an audience, you want Jon Armstrong." - Bruce Gold

He brings the same stellar level of ingenuity and craftsmanship to his scripting and routining as he does to his sleight-of-hand.

Jon shows us his transition from a close-up to a stand-up show which he has done incredibly well. An engaging show from start to finish. All the explanations of the effects are very thorough, but more than that, the tips on staging and presentation were immediately useful to me, one of which, with regards to sequencing, I implemented immediately and will never look back. An invaluable lecture to be sure.

Benefit from decades of performances... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 14th, 2017
The effects Jon discusses are crowd-pleasing miracles, but the true value is dissecting each performance from the POV of a seasoned and polished touring magician.

His insight into why each beat of his performance exists has a value that far exceeds any price associated with the video. For over two hours you step into the mind of one of the most popular working magicians of the modern age.

The last ten minutes is filled with surprises as Jon recounts pitfalls and life experiences that shaped his character both on and off stage.

Watch this video wearing a diaper because the magic and comedy are amazing enough to guarantee your bladder will fail.

Jon Armstrong just keeps getting better and better every time I see him! This lecture is jam packed with ideas, routines and gags that you will use. He is someone who cares so deeply for card magic and it shows because he leaves no stone unturned here. I can recommend this lecture enough!

Phenomenal Lecture Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 27th, 2017
This is a lecture for working pros. The material is inspirational. Very direct and powerful effects that you can tell Jon has put a lot of work and effort into. If you are a hobbyist, I'm not sure how much you will get out of this lecture, but if your main focus is on performing clear and impactful effects, you will get a lot out of this lecture.

Great for platform or parlor Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 22nd, 2023
The two standouts are a great Omni deck routine with a couple. And the coin in bottle is has great construction (blocking).

Also there a number of good bits of business, and other thoughts.

One of the finest Lectures I have seen Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 20th, 2017
I have seen a lot of lectures, both on Penguin and in person. This rates as in my top five (up there with Tommy Wonder and Eugene Burger). Jon is clear, well prepared, and the material that he teaches is very, very good. Not only that, but the bits he drops in about staging, directing, and making your material better are gold. Dan Harlan says about a quarter of the way through "that is worth the price of the lecture." Dan should know.
Get this, and you will be a better performer.
