Jeff McBride came to At The Table for two weeks in a row. The first week (reviewed here) was filmed in the Murphy's ATT studio, whereas week 2 was filmed at the Magic and Mystery School (see the second review).
During this lecture, Jeff gives you some extremely valuable insight into creating and putting together an act. He gives you a sample act and from there, you can take the routines taught and place them into your own act. There is a lovely "knots off silk" routine (with an extra variation taught), a card manipulation opener and a paper swarm of butterflies routine with a fan. Each effect is covered in detail, and he always gave extra variations and versions of the effects.
A few other effects taught were:
Long Distance Spinner Variation - this simple prop that is often overlooked can be used to speed up your long distance spinner. I discovered that it also gives you more accuracy too.
Floating cane - Jeff taught his floating cane routine which uses a light up cane whilst the lights are dimmed. The routine is incredible to witness, and Jeff's theory on this routine is very valuable.
Torn and restored bill - Jeff taught a really nice impromptu torn and restored bill with two phases. It is completely impromptu and can be done with a borrowed bill. This would be great to perform for a cashier when you get change back from a purchase.
A few more card manipulation moves were taught as well :)
Jeff's insight and advice is invaluable. During this lecture, Jeff gave so much away, and feel like I have become a better magician after watching this lecture. I honestly believe that. This lecture is definitely worth your time. 10/10
