Hope to see you there!!
In my “real job” I had a great boss, mentor and friend who would stop by my office and ask “What do you know for sure?” I would just laugh and respond with some “witty” retort. After a while I thought about it and began to wonder what did I know for sure? When Mark asked me if I’d be interested in doing a lecture, I said I would and shortly thereafter began thinking about what I would do for the lecture. I knew I wanted it to be something more than just a bunch of tricks. We all know way too many tricks already. I began to think about what I wanted to say with the lecture. What did I have to say? What did I know? What did I know for sure? I sat down and made a list. In no time I had a list of 10 things I knew for sure about magic and this lecture was born. I should mention I stopped the list when I hit 10. The list could have been longer but I only wanted to include the things that I felt gave me a strong foundation in studying and successfully performing magic. In this lecture I’ll go through each of the 10 things I know and why I feel they’re important. I will illustrate most of them with effect using cards, ropes, eggs and including the marketed effects “In The Hands Wild Card” and “OiATER”. (www.chicagomagicbash.com) The trick explanations in the lecture will be brief but thorough. You will be able to learn a few of the effects during the lecture itself. In going through this process I came to the realization that there’s an even longer list of things I still don’t know for sure about magic. I would suggest that everyone take the time to create their own lists. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if it were quite different from mine. I hope you both enjoy and get some useful information from this lecture. Oh and the next time we meet: I’d love to see your lists. Members are free - non-member can pay $15 at the door.

Sounds like fun, wish I could get up there again. Sorry I have to miss this Tom. I missed you at the shop back when Whit lectured. Stopped in and saw Tim. Hope to get back up there soon.

This sounds like a great lecture, I wish I could make it. Just so everyone knows, I've seen Tom wrestle a bear using only his thumbs. Just think of how good his lecture will be!

What David didn't mention was the bear won!
Sorry you couldn't be there Dave. The lecture was fun! |

The lecture was fun. Some nice magic and nice points on what Tom has learnt from magic and can pass on to us. Good lecture overall.

Jeff:
First off thanks for coming to the lecture and your kind comments. Glad you liked it! It was a lot of fun. For those who were not able to attend and for anyone else interested, I have a few copies of the lecture notes left and available for sale. They consist of a 13 page document discussing the "10 Things I Know for Sure" (see first post above for more details) and an approximately 60 minute lecture NOTE (NO performance just explanations but you can easily follow the effects) DVD explaining the effects/ideas I did in the lecture. Price is $ 20.00 plus $ 2.95 s&h to anywhere. They are not available through my website. If you'd like a set just paypal me the $ 22.95 to tdmagic@sbcglobal.net with the words "lecture notes" in the "Instructions to Merchant" section and I'll send off a set. Thanks again to all those that attended the lecture. There will be more coming. |
