Ed Ellis Penguin Live ACT
What will he teach?

Forbidden Planet- Produce all of the court cards in an impressive way. This will make you look like a sleight of hand expert. After producing the court cards several phases of visual card magic are performed, further proving your sleight of hand wizardry.
Luis Otero Penguin Live
“Luis is a brilliant entertainer with a pack of cards. I have seen him on large stages and close up and his dynamic style always leaves the audience breathless.” – Jeff McBride
“Recognized Latin-American artist. His vision of magic, from the deepest to the most superficial, their continuous studies, countless collaborations, and a lifetime of passion and work and magic, certainly place him in the spotlight of all those who love this art and make it prosper more and more. I really recommend his master lecture, far from being commercial, and focused on teaching, not just games, techniques, thoughts or ideas, but also a philosophy (almost become a way of life). No doubt who sees Luis Otero sees something different, fresh, original, entertaining and very magical.
I’ve seen him work a hundred times. I’ve seen him succeed a hundred times! I shared, dialogued, studied and worked with him, and so, from the virtue of being able to speak in first person, I assure that Luis, Mr. Otero, is the ideal mirror for everyone who wants further progress in this beautiful art with is magic.” – Dani DaOrtiz
Jeki Yoo LIVE ACT
“Jeki Yoo has an entertaining energy and unique close up magic! I love his FISM act” -Shin Lim
“Jeki’s close-up magic utilizes a lot of stage magic elements which is uncommon and
very refreshing. Watching Jeki’s lecture will definitely introduce new perspective and
inspire more creative work for magicians at all levels.” -Andost (FISM 2012 Micro Magic first place)
“Jeki Yoo is one of my favorite magicians. He is a GENIUS!” -Yu hojin (FISM 2012 Grand Prix)
Naathan Phan LIVE ACT
What will he teach?
A 30 minute parlor act that is the perfect mix of visual magic and hard hitting mentalism.
Wine Bottle Production- This is total shocker. Quick, visual, funny, and for once, completely justified.
Bill to Wine Bottle- A dollar bill is vanished and reappears in the same wine bottle. This is an awesome call back to the first routine and an updated handling of a classic effect. Includes a brand new bill vanish appearing here for the first time.
Adam Elbaum – Penguin Live
What will he teach?
The Visible Deck My versions of the Ultra Mental deck that make it much more impossible, more commercial, more versatile, and more impressive. The Visible Deck is more of a concept that you can customize to your liking, but I will offer several presentation suggestions.
Ambitious Routine/Reverse Cull My take on the Ambitious Card. Also taught is my version of the cull that is both easier than the Hoffsinzer cull and also truly invisible. Dan Harlan said it was worth the price of the lecture alone.
