Thanks for your input I have been thinking about getting the Michael Eaton lecture as that one did appeal when I came across it, as you say we all have different needs and opinions for example I have seen Chris Randall lecture live and found it to be one of the most boring lectures I had ever been to and virtually every other magician at that lecture thought the same, in fact I was warned beforehand how bad it was by another magician friend that had saw his lecture a week earlier. He was drinking strong alcohol through out which I didn't think was very professional and spent an eternity on the hover card and his big tip on bill in lemon wasn't really revolutionary but as you quite rightly say we all have different expectations.

Whilst Kevin is an excellent magician there's not enough to interest me on his Penguin lecture as more than 2 thirds of the lecture is geared towards stage magic where as I'm a close up performer but thanks for your input.

I have the Williamson one and agree totally, as for Paul Gordon whilst I like and use some of his effects if you have any of Paul's dvds then there wouldn't be anything new as most of it he released many years ago.

I would be tempted with Nick Einhorns's lecture although from the reviews I read it's more of a dealer dem meaning that you need to purchase most of the items taught.

I have a couple of Paul Gordon’s products and yes there is a huge overlap 😀 but I don’t regret the purchase of the lecture. I am doing a couple of Paul‘s tricks and I enjoy to see them in different situations as there are often little nuances which might improve your own performance of the trick.

As for Einhorns Lectures: Now that you mentioned it, ...I realized it ... there are quite a lot of tricks utilizing dealer items. But I never got such a good „trick I would love to use“ vs. „tricks for the shelf“ ratio. I basically liked every trick he did. And that is usually not the case if you are buying a lecture. He uses some well known principles and brings it to a higher level (Ring flight, Hidden Influence, Rainbow Deck,.......). I owned already a couple of the items he uses, but those are ranking among my favorite dealer items anyway (Nest of Wallets, Rainbow Deck, Ringflight, Black Tack 😃,..).I liked both , his at the table and Penguin Live lecture even though there is also quite an overlap.
