this was not a lecture, THIS WAS THE UNIVERSITY OF BUSKING and Gazzo is the DEAN!
Let me
just say this, Penguin Magic is not paying me to write any of this and if you have ANY INTENTION OF
MAKING MAGIC A CAREER or EARNING MONEY or HAVING A LIFE WHERE MAGIC PROVIDES FOR YOU AT "ANY" LEVEL.
Get THIS and WATCH THE LECTURE. (Period. No questions. No funny stuff.)
There are so many
tricks out there but not enough CONCRETE, PRACTICAL AND ACTIONABLE INSTRUCTIONS/ADVICE on how to get
rolling once you go from being someone who performs with a passion to making it a lifestyle.
GAZZO GOES OVER EVERYTHING!
*How much $$$$ you can make
*What tricks to perform
*How to control crowds
*Being Funny
*How to ask for money in the end
*How to find
what areas to perform
*How/what to do in regards to busking laws
*Differences between Europe
and America
*Developing a character
*Differences between internet performing and real life
*How to set up your table
*How to get people (ie. improve confidence)
*How to handle
hecklers, drunk people
AND SOOOO MUCH MORE! Btw ALL OF THIS WAS UPDATED FOR THE *2012*
PERFORMER! THERE IS SO MUCH TO BE LEARNED in just this small lecture that its almost CRIMINAL that
you don't watch this. Never have I seen someone be so direct on what to do and how to do it in
today's highly competitive world of entertainment that the only drawback I guess I can HONESTLY
write was that the lecture couldn't be MORE than 2 hours long and that he didn't address whether or
not magic can compete in today's of world of entertainment. But I guess common sense would be why
would we perform if we didn't think that?
Never let the price of an effect or knowledge
scare you from learning and expanding your horizons. ESPECIALLY LECTURES AND KNOWLEDGE, which are
the 2 most significant things that separate those who are serious from those that Gazzo refers to as
"internet magicians." Buy it. Watch the lecture. Become a REAL magician.
5 out of 5 stars.
