Peter concentrated on the “Why what who” in this lecture asking questions like; Why am I interested in it? Why would anyone else want to see it?
He explained more on the way we interact on what we do, for instance the way magicians vanish an reappear a coin, how we should imagine exactly what we are doing in the effect, he explained this with vanishing a coin to dust, imagining the dust, forming the dust back into a coin again.
He also took the entire audience through his “phoenix” routine, a burnt and stored napkin, each member of the audience having a paper napkin to follow along. From the previous nights gala show the ring in box was also explained.
Peters lecture was good and covered a number of effects and thoughts into performing, and followed on nicely from his previous close up show.
