Who is Alexander Marsh? Well he is the pen-name and alter-ego of Alex McAleer and he'd prefer it if you referred to him as Alexander Marsh online, or just Alex is fine too. He thanks you for your understanding.
Under his pen-name, Alexander Marsh has lectured at the prestigious Magic Circle; contributed to publications by Jerome Finley, Elliott J. Bresler, and Banachek; filmed two Penguin Live Lectures; released best-selling effects such as Forgotten Princess and Thy Will Be Done; and with The 1914 Magic released a masterclass on The Art of Stagecraft and the a 5 hour Masterclass on Billet work.
We are excited to have snagged Alex to do a lecture for us while he is in town performing at Lighthouse Artspace.
The lecture covers Mentalism for stage, parlour, close-up, and casual. Topics covered will include Billet work (peeks, predictions, more), ESP cards, an impromptu book test, Mentalism with coins and cash, and much more.

From the April 18th article "Magician to teach some tricks of the trade at Red Deer museum" by Lana Michelin in the Red Deer Advocate:
On April 27 at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery, Key will be teaching magic tricks to anyone who registers (ages 5 and up). The two workshops, each an hour long, are designed to “unlock magical potential,” not only by teaching these skills, but by using the lessons to build self-confidence, public speaking and fine motor skills.
“Magic is a great mechanism to improve your core competency,”says Key. He feels it’s one thing to show somebody a trick, it’s another to present it with the flair of a street performer, while telling a story to build interest.
His fascination with “magic” began at age five, after he got a Halloween-themed kit for his birthday.
