Mark LeveridgeGoing Walkabout – Mark Leveridge’s latest lecture

How to cope doing magic at reception events

Working without a table, completely surrounded, and to groups of spectators who may move, leave or join at any moment during a performance, is a challenging situation for the close up magician. In this brand new lecture I reveal a whole host of tips, techniques and ideas to make sure that you can rise to the challenge effectively. I will give advice born from experience on:

  • how to break into groups
  • how to command the attention of the spectators
  • how to manage the group effectively
  • how to cope without the use of any table
  • how to select the right tricks to carry
  • how to tailor material so that it can be worked surrounded
  • how to adapt to cramped or awkward venues
  • plus plenty more topics relevant to the walkabout magician

As well as giving my professional advice, I will also perform and explain a number of my routines which are ideal for walkabout magic making the Going Walkabout lecture of interest and value to everyone. With many years lecturing experience behind me, I always endeavour to deliver a fascinating and professionally presented evening which guarantees a good time for all those who attend.

The lecture part of the evening will normally last around 90 minutes. After a short break I will then present a dealer dem for approximately a further 30 minutes featuring some of my exclusive marketed products with the opportunity for the members to buy them before the close.

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.
