DOUBLE LECTURE
August 23 2009

Thank you to all who attended the one-of-a-kind Norman Beck and John Carney double header lecture.

...and, congratulations to Tony Eng Youth Fund winner: Rueben Gazer.

 

NORMAN BECK

Norman Beck Aug 23Norman Beck is one of magic’s best kept secrets!

Witnessing Norman’s clever, witty and unorthodox methods will be worth the price of admission alone at his, first-ever Toronto lecture. Norman is a success. In his lecture, An Ear Full of Cider, Norman will share secrets of his success while entertaining and proving the power - and value - of a fine presentation.

The lecture will feature a great number and range of great magic effects that highlight his tips on fabulous presentations, sleights – and  yes, - swindles!

 

Reviews:

“Norman Beck is one of magic's hidden gems. Until now, he has not been well known to most magicians (although that is in the process of changing). But, in "underground" networks, he is both established and respected. His magic is charming, clever and commercial, and those qualities also define his lectures."

"Norman Beck is one entertaining magician with great presentations, excellent original magic and a personality that allows you to enjoy yourself while you are watching him.  I highly recommend any magic club or shop to secure him for a lecture because everyone attending will walk away with a wealth of information and entertainment."

JOHN CARNEY

John Carney Aug 23John Carney is acclaimed as one of the finest magicians in the world. His books, Carneycopia and The Book of Secrets, are considered by many to be modern classics.

John now offers a brand new program, available in a few select cities. His two hour lecture includes stage and close-up magic using cards, coins, cigars and a variety of everyday objects.

Each routine is a lesson in itself, containing the insights and ingenuities that have made John one of the premier teachers of magic today. Topics include presentation, routining, misdirection and creativity.

Reviews

"John is truly a man who understands magic."

Tommy Wonder

"One of the best lectures I've ever seen ... excellent advice ... His tricks are superlative ...an expert in pure sleight of hand."

Dai Vernon

"Carney has rediscovered and reinvented classic platform magic. He talks to you like a guy, a mentor, a tough-love teacher. He doesn't expect you to come to him with a 5th degree Elmsley-Aronson black belt. But he does expect you to love magic as much as he does, and be willing to earn your miracles."
