Tinychat Lecture

[Afields]

Hey guys! Got a surprise for you...


There are very few places and people I trust to share my material and thoughts with. With that said this place is one of them. You guys are great people and great magicians.

For helping me advance the art I love, I'd like to help you guys out too. I've put together a lecture of (as far as I know) original material or original improvements on existing ideas.

This is a "What you think it's worth" lecture. There's a pretty dead period right now in magic where not a whole ton of things are being released. Even then you pay for a book or DVD and find that you're lucky to use a single thing off of it. This is where I'm trying to help you. At the end of the lecture if you feel like you got nothing out of the lecture that you would use, I'm not going to force you to pay anything. These are mainly sleights and tools, only a couple full routines with patter will be explained.
However, if you are going to use something I would hope that you help me continue to perform/create magic by sending me what you think the lecture/effect/sleight/advice was worth. That's all I ask.

This is a pretty last minute thing. I'm thinking of releasing an Ebook on these thoughts, but that won't be for some time. The day of the week usually isn't a busy day for anybody so I will hope you'll log on and watch what I've been working on for the last few years.

Here are the details

Where? tinychat.com/afields
When? Sunday 6/12/11 @ 8pm PST start time - join a couple mins before
How? Just log on, no password needed. I ask that everyone that joins change their name to what they are named on the forums so I can recognize this isn't being posted to other forums
Why? I've been using the same basic working material everyone else uses, but I have variations and thoughts on things that I use that maybe other people can benefit from.

as a disclaimer: This is all CARD work, no coins or mentalism. Just cards. I'm not ready to release anything else quite yet


This is all what I consider to be original material in one way or another - Either original script that makes an existing effect far more workable or variations to a sleight that make it far cleaner/more practical. This is a very informal lecture, feel free to ask questions about anything at any time.

Thanks,
Austin

I'll try my best to get on, but you know how much of a pain in the derrière these difference in time zones can be. If i don't get a chance to get on, everyone enjoy the lecture

Sorry to hear that man I hope you can make it, I think I'm only going to release the material once, if you work with cards I know you'll get something out of the lecture.

[Eoin Lavery]

So sorry to say that I cannot make it, 8pm PST is 4am on the monday morning where I am(GMT) and my day starts at 7am, out the door at 8am come home 3:30pm. Sorry Austin Everyone else enjoy the lecture and jamming session, looking forward to the feedback

[Afields]

Hopefully people will show up, I see views but nobody has confirmed that they will be there. We'll see how it goes haha

[Alex Hess]

How did it go Austin?

I was working

[Afields]

It went well! I think I'm going to start having regular chat sessions - Shane Black and Max Krause showed up.

Let's get it going again- when are you free buddy?

[OwenGraven]

I will be doing a show, while you do you're lecture because of the time difference.


Still I wanted to be there, but maybe next time.

I wish you good luck, and everyone a good view.

Greetings,

Owen Graven
