Exploring Magical Presentations

An opportunity to learn from one of magic's teachers, this DVD will help you think about your performing style, and grow as a magical presenter.

We all know plenty of tricks, but how can we turn them into memorable magic? In this DVD session, Eugene Burger explores that, and provides examples-including fully developed routines that you can adapt for your own performances.
