David Regal – Penguin Live – Online Lecture 2

To set this lecture apart from the standard show-a-trick/teach-a-trick format, David has decided to break down a complete act he recently performed in the Close-Up Gallery of The Magic Castle. He will discuss the methods he uses to assemble an act as well as the methods of the effects performed. Topics will include:

  • Why Perform an “act”?
  • Establishing a Theme

All-Good Card Warp – The classic effect… with all the hinky parts removed.
Return of The Miser – Jerry Andrus’ brilliant Miser’s Miracle, with a new ending.
My Friend’s New Place – My popular mouse chop cup routine, with a new easy-to-make prop.
Close to My Heart – A brand new routine with a pocket-sized photo frame.
