Penguin is having this online class using the book 'Practical Mental Magic by Theodore Annemann'.
Has anyone on The Café ever attended a lecture with Luke Jermay that can comment if this might be worth it? ____________________________________________________________ This 8-week class will meet weekly via live video. Hosted by Alvo Stockman. The Effect An incredible experience and opportunity. Starting March 21st, 2010, Luke Jermay will be teaching an 8-week live online course on mentalism. The text will be the classic Practical Mental Magic. If you've ever felt like the classic material in magic books feels a bit dated, or not relevant, then this is the class for you. If you've ever felt like you want to understand how PMM is as relevant as ever, then this is the class for you. Luke Jermay is currently headlining in Las Vegas at the O'Sheas casino right at the center of the city. He has been a professional mentalist since before he could drive, and is the single best point of connection between old and new in mentalism. He's been a pioneer in modern stage mentalism, and is better read in the magic literature than almost anyone on the planet. What You Get Admission to the class. The book "Practical Mental Magic" will be required for the class but is not included.

Is it just me. Or couldn't a person just buy the Annemann book, and just learn it that way. Plus I think you can pick up a copy online for like a few bucks. I'm not trying to be negative here. It's just the book was made for a reason.

Hi James
I have the book and think it's great, don't misunderstand me. I was just curious as to what Luke Jermay will be brining to the table. I understand that he will be sort of modernising it a bit and wanted to know if anyone new what his teaching is like. |

I talked to luke about this last night,
and I cant wait for this! Luke is such a amazing and creative thinker and writer, so to see and hear his idea's and thoughts on the classic effects in this book is ganna be awesome! And for the price its really great, normally to have someone like luke to consult on any routines would cost me much more then penguin is charging ! -k- |

James and truesoldier,
The class will certainly not be Luke simply explaining the tricks in the book in more detail. We hope everyone will do that on their own. The concept behind the class is to get to the heart of what's great about this classic material, to expand on it, and to show how relevant and modern the material CAN be. The inspiration for the class was that Luke and I saw how many magicians pick up PMM and can't see past some of its superficial presentational elements, coming away feeling like the book is irrelevant or dated. |

Joe,
Coming from someone who thought Luke was going to be a shady person when I moved to vegas, You cant always listen to magicians. Luke has made mistakes in the past, and that's why a lot of magicians don't like him. But I learned that you cant always listen to magicians, because a lot of the time there wrong(big shock). Luke is a awesome performer and a super nice guy. Same thing go's for Criss Angles show, every magician hated his show, before even seeing it. I to went in saw the show thinking it was going to be bad show, but I was totally surprised how good the show was and sense then seen 4 more times. So I'm just saying sometimes you need just to do what you wont and not listen to what other people are saying. Alittle off subject.. |

I've greatly enjoyed several of Jermay's downloads at Penguin. In particular, his tutorials on false shuffles and cuts have been helpful. They're not long, but contain plenty of useful information. He comes across as very skilled and genuinely interested in teaching.
Now appearing nightly in my basement.

Hi guys,
The LIVE classes are starting this Sunday at 2:00pm Pacific and will be at that time for the whole 10 weeks. Yes, the classes were increased from 8 to 10 weeks now. There are still a few spots left, so register soon if interested. Luke is extremely knowledgeable, generous and genuine in his pursuit of mentalism. In fact I've never seen anyone more focused on a subject. I know on the Café he's had a reputation for being slow to respond to business issues, but in this case, the business is handled by Penguin Magic, and the class is being facilitated by me. Luke is left free to do what he does best - modern mentalism. Let me know if you have any questions, Alvo |

Lukes lecture was very memorable when I saw it. He is definitely someone who has a deep respect for the history of magic and mentalism.
