Magic Tricks

Just to preface I rarely dislike anything. Some lectures are better than others, but they all have some good to tons of great!

I am a huge fan of Piff the Magic Dragon, but after this lecture I find that I do not share the same feeling for John VDP!

Every lecture I have seen had one thing in common, the performer CLEARLY loved what he was doing. Not only was it clear that from John's body language that he really had no interest in being there, he actually says it. As he teaches each trick he shoots it "putting it to rest" because he never wants to do it again.

While I disagree with him (some of the material is very good) his distain for what he is doing left a bad taste in my mouth.

This lecture was poorly structured (if he structured it at all). He spent more time fumbling through papers on on his words and talking about himself than anything else. My recommendation is that there are so many other lectures on penguin that are great....skip this one!! Unless you are like me and have to see them all! lol
