Magic Tricks

DON'T BUY THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! Instead you have to buy http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/5602. It's only $2 more and you get this lecture and Chris Mayhew's fabulous lecture too. This lecture has been a bestseller for the last month and it's been driving me nuts! There is no reason to get this when you can get the whole month of May for only $2 more. Please!

Now that I got that out of the way, the lecture itself was decent. Well worth the ONLY $5 I PAID FOR IT (and you could too hint, hint) but it could've been so much better. Some of the tricks were super lame (the one where the spectator guesses his PIN. side note: use a super Sharpie/boon writer. BAM! Now it's great trick. That tip is worth at least $5. You can pay me next time you see me) What was great was to see his ability to make a lame trick very good. Now your job is to learn how to apply what he's telling you to great tricks and make them unbelievable.

By far the best thing here you could totally miss, so watch for his tip on having them not write on the business card by the guy working behind the counter who thought of Leo. That tip is worth far more than this lecture. I do just wish I didn't have to sift through so much garbage to get the gold. Now I know some of you are going to get upset and say but the theory is important too, and the inspirations are important too, and the .... is also important, and it's okay if he just teaches 3 or 4 tricks. True. But compare this to Luke Jermay's incredible PenguinLIVE lecture. There are also only 3-4 tricks, but they were ROCK SOLID KILLERS THAT WILL WORK, and there's a ton of theory and inspirations and history and all the other stuff, and guess how much rambling there was? Not 1% of what this lecture had.
