Lectures
Craig Petty, Russell Leeds and Ethan Mark have had the pleasure of lecturing all over the world.
We have included information below on all of our current lectures.
Accessible Coin Magic - Craig Petty
Craig Petty is known as one of the greatest coin manipulators in Europe. This is Craig's 2009 lecture, which has been designed to inspire performers to add more coin magic into their repertoire. Many magicians do not perform coin magic for a number of different reasons. Some believe that it is too difficult; some believe coin magic will not work for large groups. In this lecture Craig examines all these different myths and using various coin routines shows that everyone can perform coin magic, even if they have no prior experience.
Over the past year Craig has received feedback from dozens of performers saying that they have become ‘hooked' on coin magic thanks to taking part in one of Craig's lectures. It was for this reason that Craig was invited to hold a Coin Workshop at the 2009 Session Convention.
Locked in a Room Without Coins - Craig Petty
This is Craig's 2010 lecture concentrating on super visual commercial magic. Find out why the magic circle described Craig's lecture as one of the best in recent memory and led to him being offered a place in the Inner Magic Circle with a Silver Star. During this lecture Craig explains dozens of different effects all of which have one thing in common - they don't involve coins. Card routines, mentalism, routines with business cards and lots more besides. Craig's non coin work has been described as sensational with magazines like Magic Magazine recommending every DVD Craig has ever released.
As an added bonus during this lecture Craig performs and explains his award winning close up show with effects that YOU WILL use. Craig also goes into how to make these effects work ‘in the real world'.
Ordinary Objects, Extraordinary Magic - Russell Leeds
In the last year Russell Leeds has gone from being a highly respected underground magician to one of the leading experts within the genre of Rubber Band Manipulation. Both Doug Brewer and Joe Rindfleish have gone on record saying that Russell has evolved the art of rubber band magic.
What people do not realise is that there is way more to Russell than just rubber bands. He has numerous new releases due out in the next few months all of which deal with subjects other than rubber bands. In his new 2010 lecture Russell concentrates on magic that is seemingly impromptu using ordinary objects. As well as touching on his ground breaking rubber band effects he also goes on to explain effects using cigarettes, string, coins, business cards and lots more. As an added bonus in every lecture Russell explains ‘Smoking Gum' which has become an underground sensation over the last few years.
Making Money With Magic - Ethan Mark
Ethan is one of the busiest close up magicians in the UK, in this lecture you will find out why. In order for Ethan to perform an effect it has to be the type of routine that laymen freak over. Ethan talks about effect selection, how to maximise audience reactions through clever and well thought out presentations, making magic memorable and most importantly how to use your magic to make money.
Ethan also goes into depth about how to fuse gimmicks and sleight of hand together to create effects that go above and beyond the norm. This is a rare chance to hear a real worker talk about what he does best - making money with magic.
