Last Night's Lecture

I had the honor of doing a lecture on Bizarre Majick/Mentalism last night for the Vancouver Magic Circle
Here is a quote from Graham Kita, Past President, Vancouver Magic Circle, and Director on Executive: "There are a lot of people that said they really enjoyed your workshop. Thank you for taking the time and energy to come out and do that for us. Our vision is to do more and more magic at our meetings. members like yourself really do help us to instill the attitudes of professionalism . I especially liked the fact that you mentioned bizarre magic is a hard sell to the public for shows. it is super cool, but you could make a lot more money just doing kids birthday parties. For the beginners in the group, information like that is so valuable. I’ve seen so many younger magicians go off and wanna be different. They don’t understand how much more difficult that path would be as opposed to Doing commercially accepted magic .It can definitely be done. It takes a lot of years to know and understand what your audience likes. I really like that your workshop wasn’t about look what I can do . It was about teaching the members and sharing our Art of Magic."
Another from the great Donovan Edward Wert: "One of my favourite books in my collection, Signed by my great friend The incomparable Dr. Michael Likey!! His lecture at the Vancouver Magic Circle last night was absolutely delightful!!
From the amazing Shawn Farquhar: "Thanks for performing and lecturing last night for the VMC, I think I can confidently say everyone had a grand time."
Roy J Hopwood: "If you missed the VMC meeting on Thursday, you missed a great workshop by Dr. Michael Likey. His thoughts and demonstration of Bizarre Magic / Mentalism showed that a well-developed character and costume - Steam Punk - along with effects that suit the character creates a potent image. Michael also showed that keeping the method simple does NOT lessen the effect."
Thank you Yoosik Ethan Oum for the great pics, and to Cheryl Hayes my amazing assistant/partner in crime!
