Scroll to the bottom of the post for a pro-tip from Loran, regarding the conference of Eberhard Riese, author of the book “Foundations - The Art of Stage Magic."
A great video to get you in the spirit of the 9th edition of the Festival de magie de Québec coming up May 2nd to 5th! It is full of reminders of some of the extraordinary promotions from previous years. (I don't remember seeing the gag at 1:06 before. What fun!)
If you're attending, please share the event's social media hashtag so that we can all follow along!
