Magic Tricks

I recommend Axel Adler's lecture quite highly. His work is for workers--because he's a worker. His routines are not "pie-in-the-sky" ideas filled with breakable gimmicks and "smoke and mirrors." He performs (and shares) "classic" style effects cleanly and with a contemporary flair (such as a rope routine with his own twist, a billiard ball routine without any "you-know-what," and a very special cups and balls routine). Though he has "chops," as they say, he is not just a magician, he is a performance artist who understands how to use the stage and the significance of "movement" and blocking! Great lecture and some great thinking by Axel!
