I own a lot of Penguin lectures and saw this one by John live in person.

1)This is filled with real workers.

2)Almost everything John teaches here is very practical.

3)Magic is performed by too many technicians (people that know how to technically perform the trick) but don't understand or know how to be entertaining or how to be a showman. John does, and watching this lecture you'll see/learn the difference between being simply a technician and someone that can truly entertain and command attention.

4)Too often magicians focus on the trick itself (the wow factor) and neglect routine (the entertaining and engaging factor). It's the routine that makes a 1 minute trick into a 4-5 minute performance that captivates an audience/spectator and makes it entertaining and memorable...the trick just gives it the wow. John is a master. John demonstrates a consistent ability to do the wow, but perhaps more importantly, the entertaining routine that makes it a performance. Watch how he does it here, take inspiration from it, and catapult your magic to the next level !

5)It's a very enjoyable lecture and fun show just to watch!

Totally agree with you. The demonstration magic is not about the trick but the performance. Great lecture!
