Program Details:
This month's lecture is aimed at magicians who are NOT finger-flickers or move monkeys, but are looking for things you can do to deliver the magical "moments of WOW!" Steve will be bringing along an assortment of effects (primarily cards) that you can do by the time you leave the 90-minute lecture.
Steve will also be talking about his theories of what makes good magic and what practitioners can do to make their work more effective...and what not to do that invariably turns their audiences off.
Steve Friedberg is an internationally-recognized sleight-of-hand magician, who delights in delivering the magical “moments of WOW!” He has headlined at Hollywood’s Magic Castle, Washington Magic and the Chicago Magic Lounge. He’s also performed at New York’s Monday Night Magic.
He has been awarded a Doctor of Magic degree from the invitation-only 4F convention, a yearly gathering of 250 of the world’s best close-up magicians, and has been admitted as a member of Hollywood’s Academy of Magical Arts and London’s Magic Circle. He’s also the author of “Castle Notes: Thoughts on the ‘Why’ as well as the ‘How,’ now in its second printing.
As a close-up magician, Steve says he prefers working with standard playing cards, saying they’re easier to shuffle than bunnies.

We hope to see you on Monday October 6.
