Jumping Off Points (lecture notes) Expand

My 2018 lecture notes presented either as a PDF Download or a printed A5 Booklet (52 pages).

Most magicians have a large enough repertoire of tricks to entertain, but it’s our engaging presentations that leave a permanent imprint on our audiences.

Within these notes, you’ll learn insider tips from a professional performer, which you can apply to any trick you already know (or some of the new effects taught between these covers). You’ll gain insight on how to design presentations that help you stand out, adapt your existing magic into new situations and ultimately connect with your audiences.

Jump in for a fascinating look at simple and powerful magic that plays across ages for friends, family and paying audiences.

Paris in the Spring (single trick) Expand

How do you make the revelation of a playing card both interesting and engaging for an audience? With this one of a kind routine, you’ll have the name of a card sitting in plain sight from the very beginning. Not only that but you’ll cause an audience member to see a card that doesn’t even exist in the deck, proving your ability to influence their thought process. This self-contained routine is perfect for close up environments or can be easily adapted to parlour or stage.

A Lesson in Forgery (single trick) Expand

Magic with money is a great way to hook an audience in and make sure they’re paying full attention. Combine that with the chance to learn how to supposedly make their own money and you’re really on to a winner. In this fun routine, you’ll begin by providing an explanation for how money is forged but with a clever linguistic trick, you’ll be able to twist the whole thing on it’s head and provide a surprise in more ways than one. Perfect for walkaround or parlour magic, this can be adapted to any currency or you can use the included stage bills.

Double Take (single trick) Expand

It’s often difficult to find versatile routines that can slot into any performance. Well, you’ve just stumbled upon one such piece of gold. This fun three card monte effect is presented here as a routine for family shows, but can be adapted to close up, parlour or stage. It’s easy to perform with one of the included sets, or can be customised easily with artwork of your own. For professional performers, this could even become a potential upsell for future events. Is it any wonder this is, without doubt, my most performed trick?
