Magic Tricks

Adam Christing is a nice, likable guy. But this two-hour lecture was very disappointing to me. I don't suffer from insomnia, but if I did, I would watch this again, and I'm sure I would fall asleep in a minute. I find it surprising that companies would be happy with his bland motivational advice and his lackluster magic, but apparently they do. Maybe it's just me. This presentation might be acceptable for young magicians who have had no experience in front of an audience. Hence, I give it what I feel is a generous 3-Stars rating.

I might add that I've been a fan of Dan Harlan for years. He's a wonderful magician and entertainer. He does an excellent job as host of Penguin lectures. He always presents a lecture with hype and enthusiasm. To do so with Mr Christing must have taken all the energy he could muster to sell the act. Speaking of selling, this presentation to me was not only an attempt to motivate and entertain (which it didn't for me), but it went a little far as an attempt to sell books and products.
