On Wednesday, March 30, we will welcome Aaron Fisher (www.aaronfishermagic.com) for a lecture on card magic. Aaron is the author of The Paper Engine: Tension, Focus & Design in Card Magic, and is a professional perormer with over 20 years experience. Aaron's approach to card magic is based on presentation, not difficult sleights. His goal is to help us to improve our card magic. He even offers a free preveiw of his work in the form of a free download for anyone who goes to his web site and signs up for his newsletter. In Aaron's words, the download, "will literally transform your approach to one of magic's basic techniques in a matter of minutes." The lecture will be part hands-on workshop, so you will want to bring a deck of cards and learn along with the group. The lecture will be held Wednesday, March 30 at 6:30pm at the Urbana Civic Center (108 E. Water St., Urbana, IL). Cost for the lecture is only $20.00! This lecture can help us all in two ways: First, every magician is expected to know at least a little card magic, and Aaron's routines are powerful and accessible. Second, Aaron's thoughts on the construction and design of his routines can be applied to other effects to improve all your magic. More details on Aaron and his lecture are available at his web site an in the download below.
