Here’s what the papers say about Mr.Wilson, the Honest Con-Man and two-time FISM winner:

“Gregory Wilson is much more than a magician. He breaks stereotypes and the law at the same time!
As a world-class sleight of hand artist (okay, con artist), he earns his laughs and living with pick-pocketing, card-sharking, street-swindling and psychological deceptions.

“Picture The Sting and Catch Me If You Can. In Greg’s show, nothing is what it seems. You’ll questions reality and before you know it, he’s “Con In 60 Seconds!”

His “M.O.” is to make you laugh so hard, you never notice your missing watch and wallet. But, since he is the “Honest Con,” after he steals your valuables sometimes he gives them back. Deception has never been this much fun!

Greg’s “criminal act” is world class—literally. Over the last decade, he has “stolen the show” in over 40 states in this country, 5 provinces in Canada, 26 countries in Europe, as well as Australia, New Zealand, South America and Israel.

He has wowed and worked with such celebrities as Ted Danson, Mel Brooks, Anne Bancroft, Jason Alexander, Dean Koontz, Paul Haggis, Bill Pullman, Kevin Pollack, Bill Walton, Rod Laver, Jim Brown, Larry Elder, Wynton Marsalis, Natalie Cole, Pat Benatar, Aerosmith, Stone Temple Pilots, Jefferson Starship and Heart.

His con artistry has been seen in the movies, on TV and in some of the finest theaters worldwide.”

Paul Gordon - Impromptu Entertaining (and ‘doable’) Card Magic lecture

Paul Gordon is an Associate of The Inner Magic Circle. He is a professional close-up/card magician and entertainer who travels the world with his act and lecture. Paul is a creator, author and publisher of top-quality books, DVDs and tricks. His lecture is entertaining as well as jam-packed with magic, tips, hints and anecdotes. Paul’s magic has received praise from ‘names’ like Steve Beam, Aldo Colombini, J. C Wagner, Jim Sisti, John Guastaferro, Jamy Ian Swiss, Peter Duffie, Harry Lorayne & more!

“He held some fifty people enthralled as he demonstrated some items from his books. In situations like this, his command is phenomenal. He makes card tricks entertaining! He has the audience hanging onto his every word! He has all the attack of a Ken Brooke or Rovi” - Walt Lees on Paul’s lecture.

Paul lectures on magic from his ‘live’ act and from his books; proof enough that it is all practical and very magical! He feels that he can even turn non-cardmen into, well, at least semi-interested cardmen. If you want to learn strong magic (in a fun and informative way), this is the lecture to see.

Visit Paul’s website to see photos, reviews and a free (exciting) promotional video of Paul in action.
