Selling lecture notes without the lecture is like eating popcorn without the movie. The excitement, the visual component of watching the tricks is lost when only purchasing lecture notes. Plus the gamble of laying out twenty clams on some folded pieces of paper that were printed on a home computer can be too much of a risk for many people. I say this because in my life of collecting magic material more often than not, I have been disappointed when purchasing lecture notes without the lecture. Andy Nyman’s Short, Punchy, & Mental is worth the $20. Deep Red Prediction is a Video Title and membership prediction premise that fires the imagination, topical and fun, I think many people will enjoy the thinking on this one. Homicide is very clever. It is a way to know exactly how many cards a spectator has cut from a pack and a selected card. Not much premise is given on this one…but with some thought one could make this a real stunner. Take the money and run is a multi-phase routine that has you know which canister an unseen coin was dropped in, what kind of coin it is, and the date on the coin. Very clever stuff. There are additional routines as well..but I think you get the idea.
