2012 Programme
Lectures & Events
Mon 16th January - LECTURE – Paul Gordon
Benton Conservative Club
The lecture is entertaining (fun & light-hearted) and full of 'doable' usable (but strong) magic from his books, DVD's and professional repertoire. If you think that card magic is awe-inspiring or, dare we say it, dull –you will be pleasantly surprised by his enthusiastic and energetic approach. He teaches a lot of magic – and more: Sleights, Tricks, Tips, Thoughts, Stories, Patter, Presentation, Angles, Stance etc., etc...and lots of laughs!
