An Evening with Michael Vincent – The Anatomy of Strong Magic
Hull Magicians’ Circle is delighted to welcome the internationally acclaimed Michael Vincent for a very special evening exploring The Anatomy of Strong Magic.
The evening will begin with a performance from Michael, allowing members to experience his magic exactly as an audience would. This performance then sets the context for an in-depth conversation about what makes magic truly strong, memorable and magical.
Michael will explore his creative process and explain how he designs his magic not simply to fool an audience, but to create a genuine feeling of wonder. Through performances, discussion and practical examples, he will share the thinking, structure and philosophy behind his approach to classical close-up magic.
During the evening, Michael will discuss and demonstrate material including:
Classic Strong Magic
The Slot Machine
Supercharged Coins Through Table
Thoughts on Card Magic
Intuition Speller
Synthetic
Think A Card
Card Up Sleeve
Miracle Card to Pocket
Plus much more
This promises to be much more than a traditional magic lecture. It is an opportunity to see a master performer at work and then explore the decisions, thinking and experience that sit behind the performance.
Whether you are interested in cards, coins, sleight of hand, presentation or simply making your own magic stronger, An Evening with Michael Vincent promises to be an inspiring and thought-provoking night for magicians of all levels.
