Get set to learn some KILLER, and surprisingly-easy-to-do, COMMERCIAL material. Something for absolutely EVERYBODY, close-up & parlour, ALL skill levels, cards, coins, rubber bands and LOTS of miscellaneous ideas & tips to improve what you already do and to make your performing life MUCH easier.
Just a few of the highlights in this lecture:
– The ‘I Hate David Copperfield’ Trick”, an eye-popping version of Jennings’ “Close-Up Illusion” – was on Penguin Magic’s top ten list for nearly an entire YEAR!
– an incredibly easy (but shocking) bit of magic – the PERFECT OPENER for any stage/parlour show
– a wonderful 3-phase, 8-card NO-SLEIGHT “Oil & Water” routine that looks UNBELIEVABLE
– the COMPLETELY CLEAN vanish of a half dollar (and it’s INSTANTLY REPEATABLE)
– E.A.R./ELECTRICAL ARTLET: two miracles that rely almost entirely on SOUND (and real reputation-makers)
– an astounding, impromptu, NO-SLEIGHT card trick that uses subtlety (and some verbal linguistics) to DEVASTATE your audience!

No pipe dreams or untested, confusing disappointments to waste your time – these are POLISHED GEMS that Geoff relies on for his professional stand-up and close-up gigs. Some LEGENDS in magic (Fantasio, John Mendoza, J.K. Hartman, Bob Wagner and others) have given permission for variations of some of their miracles to be included here. Super easy to do but have a MAJOR IMPACT on lay audiences and magicians alike, Geoff GUARANTEES you’ll take away something from the lecture that you can put to use IMMEDIATELY!
Skill level required for most of the tricks: beginner to intermediate. There are NO second deals, one-handed top palms, multiple-coin classic palms or pipe dreams of ANY kind here. All effects are direct from my strolling and parlour repertoires and are no nonsense, do-able, real-world workers (that appear to be much harder than they really are)! I can assure you that magicians of all skill levels will have fun playing with the moves and ideas in this lecture.

– CHRISTOPHER K.
