Larry Hass LIVE (Penguin LIVE)

"In readingInspirations, the new book by Dr. Larry Hass, I can’t count the number of times I said to myself, “Larry is crazy for giving away this routine!” Really, who would give away such strong, well thought out, killer material for the price of a book?I’ll tell you who! Someone who cares deeply about the Art of Magic! Someone who wants to elevate the level of Magic. Someone who loves Magic and Magicians, that’s who. The tricks in this book are great, but the thinking behind them and the philosophy behind the thinking are even more impressive.I congratulate my friend, Dr. Larry! With the publication of Inspirations he has made a significant and long-lasting contribution to our art. This is required reading for the serious student, amateur, and professional."-Lance Burton

What will he teach?

Magicians typically think of magic in terms of close-up, stand-up, and stage. In this lecture, Lawrence Hass will show that there are at least seven distinct styles or venues of magic by teaching routines from his professional repertoire that are tailored for each of them.

The Intuition Test– Lawrence’s highly acclaimed borrowed deck, magician-fooling card mystery. Sleight-free and repeatable!

How to Find Your Other Half– Lawrence’s celebrated handling for Woody Aragon’s card routine, in which an overtly mathematical sequence is replaced with a free choice!

Blind Man’s Poker– A deep-fooling version of Bob Farmer’s “Tsunami.” It sold out quickly in 2008 when it was released as a limited manuscript. Now you can learn this professional routine and all of Lawrence’s latest work on it.

A Simple Gift– A go-to, “never-leave-the-house-without-it” piece of Gift Magic. Finally on video!

Walking Through Walls– A fast, flashy piece of coin magic, and a lesson in transforming a stunt into magic.

Showdown Poker– An entertaining, in-the-hands version of the Ten-Card Poker Deal. Perfect for walk-around!

The Banded Dollar Bill– Bob Neale’s unpublished method for folding a bill into an attractive band to encircle a packet of playing cards without tape or glue!

The Impossible Prediction, 3.0– A deeply deceptive card prediction for the parlor, platform, or stage. Strong enough to close a show.

Tale of the Rabbi Magician– Utilizing a stand-up variation of Max Maven’s “Overdose,” this magical story is one of Lawrence’s signature effects.

Test Conditions Mind Reading– A fully realized theatrical experience of mind reading. A participant THINKS of any playing card and, without pumping, pre-show, or stooging, you name it.
