South Tyneside International Magic Festival 2009

Magic convention masterclasses

We have another great line-up of performers from the USA and UK, some of which in addition to their lecture at the convention will be holding a Master Class.

Master Classes are ideal because sometimes the lecturers would like to spend more time on a particular effect. They are also a way of getting to see and learn from a performer in an intimate setting, and perhaps getting one-on-one instruction on a routine that has been developed and perfected over years, saving you months of trial and experimentation.

We have been running Master Classes for the last four years and would like to invite you to attend one in 2009.

Each Master Class is limited to 20 people

Banachek
Banachek
Thursday 12th March 6pm – 9pm*
This is a unique opportunity to learn how to make a very good living. Banachek will give and teach his full memory lecture that he gives to corporate clients at thousands of dollars an engagement. He will put you through the class enabling you to learn the best way to teach it and then he will teach the workings of the few effects that go with it. This is a course that can be taught to corporate clients and even school children. Each person will receive a small USB with the power point demo that they can edit for themselves and the booklet that they can edit, personalize and publish. This is a huge money-maker for the right person. You will have everything you need to walk out the door and make a very good living.
Banachek will also take questions on his metal bending, perform a routine in detail and work with anyone one on one – in front of the class of course.
Cost: £80
*Please note this masterclass will be held at the Sea Hotel

This DVD is a generic teaching DVD that magicians can use to copy and sell themselves to the public. Every person who attends will get their own master copy of this DVD and permission to produce these DVDs themselves.
A generic DVD that is valuable for all magicians from street performers, birthday party magicians to stage show illusionists who want to have a great professional product to sell after their shows. In this DVD all the tricks are performed and shot with HANDS ONLY, so you never see the face of the magician teaching the tricks making it a very generic product you can sell after your shows.
The trick on this DVD include:
  • Floating a playing card
  • Floating a candle
  • Fandango coin routine
  • Linking safety pins
  • 2-1 string trick
  • One handed cut of deck of cards
  • PLUS two interactive DVD tricks and three performances (hands only) of classics of magic.
This DVD is worth MORE than the workshop if you were to purchase it from a magic dealer!!
Without a doubt, amazing value for anybody attending this Master Class.
