4F- Saturday Mini Lectures
April 24th, 2010 by Shawn FarquharSaturday morning started with two mini lectures. The first was from three-time FISM winner Simo Aalto. Simon has won a bronze, silver and gold prize from FISM and his lecture on the mini matrix and standard size matrix showed why this clever thinking man has some many awards. He used a clever gimmick to remove many of the unnatural moves and made the effect look like magic.
JC Wagner did the other lecture and it was such a pleasure to see this master at work. He gave us the real work behind the Gambler’s Cop and presented and explained several effects from Seven Secrets. He also explained a version of “Lie Detector†but, the highlight for me was the work behind the “Heavy Mexicanâ€. This is a wickedly good move and to be coached by JC made this super special. In the end he offered for sale a special DVD that was produced exclusively for 4F … Lucky us.
