Michael Weber Lecture
September 28th, 2008 by Richard Morrell
10am Saturday Morning saw the start of the Michael Weber lecture. Michael set out to teach some easy to do but commercial ideas, that were well off the beaten track. He started with Self Centered a great, and simple pseudo centre deal demo where you give the spectator the power to supposedly deal centers, but you still end up with the best hand.
Urigami takes a great optical illusion to new heights, where you can seemingly bend a paper outline of a spoon. Michael then went on to teach us all, in just a few minutes, a simple Memorised Deck system, and used it in a hands-off mental card divination sequence.
Finally Back to the Drawing Board was a mental divination. Three spectators drew random images, a fourth mixed them up and looked at one, and Michael was able to duplicate the drawing sight unseen. Michael didn’t explain this as he was selling the notes, and there was certainly a rush to buy after the lecture.
