Eric Jones Lecture
Eric Jones is beginning to make a name for himself in the world of close-up magic. Armed with cunning sleight of hand and a charming personality, Eric dazzles his audiences with his digital dexterity. He uses these tools to politely deceive and entertain his audiences. Ordinary, everyday items become objects of fancy as Eric delicately handles them with feats of prestidigitation. Coins multiply, cards fly, and audiences cheer.
Eric lecture will challenge you to look at your magic in a whole new light after discussing ways to make close up effects play to large audiences, re-directing attention rather than misdirecting it, how to properly block/stage your performances to both conceal method as well as optimize the audience reaction to the magic. These and several other ideas will be discussed while you learn some of Eric's award winning magic.
