From the opening gag, this special kept getting better and better. The Jeopardy parody and seeing Bizzaro's imitation as AJ was the topper and I rate this as the best Holiday Special to date (these holiday specials have all been great). I look forward to it every year. Thank you, Scott (you are an excellent writer), Dan, Bizzaro and Puck. Merry Christmas!

The video starts off well but it kinda becomes annoying with so many interruptions and silly stuff. I honestly expected something more christmas like. Most of the video is like they decided to film a party. However it's still worth the money, if you managed to get it for free, lucky you. Dan Harlan's effects are great. and his secret revelation (not even mentioned in the description) is something i wished he'd revealed before. Just because of that, this video is worth every penny and deserves a 5 star.

I got this for free and it was literally the only Christmas present I got. Lucky for me, this was a fantastic lecture and worth it! They had some really funny skits, and some absolutely fantastic magic routines taught too!

A LOT of work goes into this. And there are some cool tricks to learn along with fun conversations.

It is so cool that they can create a 3 hour presentation like this and pull it off.

I enjoyed it and found a few fun tricks for a corp gig I have.
I'll look forward to next year.

Why 4 stars? Well...some skits could be a bit shorter oh look a bunny gotta go.

Both Dan and Scott worked hard and were very well prepared, as was Bazaro. I think however, that I would have preferred more magic and less silliness, but maybe that's just me, and am in the minority. My preferences would be magic tutorials, magic history, and stories about magicians and shows. We all want to be better magicians, and in my opinion, most of the show was not structured to that end.
Thank you,

I have been a penguin fan for a while now. hope to meet you guys someday soon. Here is a quick version of my crazy life in magic.
Illusionist 20 years, never Vegas but did well. A tragic series of events took me out of the magic business.

Many years later (2016) my wife and I decided after all we have been through (which includes living under a bridge in the winter and hearing diabeaties and cancer in the same month) we are going back to magic. We are storage managers who make little money and started from not rock bottom, but under the rock. I gave you that history so you would know when I say Penguin magic and Dan have greatly helped us, both with Dans Tarbell series and with lastnight, you could feel how much we mean it!
All goes well, we will have a great parlor and mentalist show by the spring of 2018... thank you Dan and penguine

This lecture was good. A good mixture of styles for a broader spectrum of magicians. I did feel that some of the routines weren't polished like they had been in previous lectures. I did get a working routine for my show out of this lecture. I really saw the potential of the sound effects trick. The routine that is presented is confusing from a spectators perspective. After performing it a few times, I've cleaned up the routine and it's a Solid 5 minutes of Comedy that gets strong laughs and a great Round of Applause at the end of the routine... it is worth looking into. I am happy with this lecture. And look forward to the next Christmas lecture. Thank you Penguin Magic.

I'm waiting for it every year, it's funny, it's magic, Dan and Scott are amazing and this year the joy is double because of Bizzaro and Puck, great funny teachers. The tricks explained are very good and easy to perform, I like art and craft and I already made the oreo box by Bizzaro for my kids show.
I'm ready to learn more and have double fun with the next episode, thank you to all of you.

I absolutely LOVED this lecture! I was able to get it for FREE but to be honest, if I would of paid for it, I surely would not have been disappointed. Its 3 hours of fun bits, cool magic, and just plain silly entertainment. Those of you who got this for free and are still bitching should shut it. Those complaining about the antics and lack of materiel need to sit back and revaluate it. I’ve added two of the awesome effects to my professional show and if you even add ONE effect from this lecture, you’ve gotten your money’s worth. This lecture was informative and at times had me in tears at the funny bits they added. Great work guys!

This is very a informative show for the magic explained. Thank you.
