Lloyd Barnes

Lloyd Barnes has emerged as one of magic’s most electrifying creative forces. In this workshop, he will share some of his favorite workhorse original routines, as well as his approach to magic and the creative process. You’ll leave with a new plan of action for creating your own magic, improving the magic in your repertoire, and squeezing every ounce of impact out of an idea or presentation. Come ready to interact, because this workshop is all about elevating your level.

Guy Hollingworth

This is a rare opportunity to take an “almost” private lesson with one of the greatest living magicians. The convention will showcase Guy’s one-hour lecture. But so, so much must be left out due to time constraints. This is where we’ll dive deepest into the magic of More Drawing Room Deceptions. This is a chance to see material from the new book live, ask questions about it, and learn it from the master himself.

The real value in our workshops, though, is the chance to spend an extended period of time with one of magic’s most intelligent creators. How does he prepare for each performance? How does he string together a series of tricks into a show? How do you make the transition from close-up to stage magic? You can ask Mr. Hollingworth yourself and learn from a true master.
