ABOUT THE LECTURE
NATE will share his latest and best kept secrets covering all aspects of magic (including mentalism) as well as provide invaluable performance tips you're sure to use! This is a magic-packed lecture with something for everyone!
THE OPENER COIN ROUTINE
This is a multi phase coin routine that Nathan has been performing for over 25 years. Interactive coin magic at its best.
Moneyball
You pull a quarter out of your pocket and in an instant it visually changes into a Superball or bouncy ball. You can immediately give the ball away as a souvenir.
Schrödinger's Card
One of the most visual and fooling card transpositions you'll ever witness. Don't worry, no one is going to kill a cat. But a deck of cards will teleport in the most magical of ways.
Repetition
This is the trick that was nominated for trick of the year in 2022. This is a self working and extremely visual and streamlined version of the standard Six Card Repeat with a very cool ending. You'll love it!!!!
Tip Trey
This is a fun visual Magic moment. A playing card, visually Suspends/levitates for several seconds and finally you reveal that this card that defies gravity is indeed their selected card.
Organic Copper Silver Brass
Nathan will teach his personal routine with this classic “copper silver brass” gimmick. He will also be offering a beautiful set of coins made by Ted Bogusta. This is a quarter sized CSB.
Stand Up Triumph
A super visual triumph effect where the cards magically UN shuffle in a visual way. And the best part is it's all done in your hands.
The Stone Purse
A small leather coin purse is introduced, and the coins are extracted from the purse. After performing your favorite coin routine, you ask the spectator to place the coins back inside the purse. They try, but they fail. Only to realize that the purse has now become a solid ROCK!!!!
...And MUCH MORE!!!!!!
ONDREJ PSENICKA In-Person Lecture (Sunday, June 9, 2024, 2 PM EDT!)
This is an extremely rare opportunity to see one of Europe's finest magicians perform and explain his amazing magic. Performing on the famed Penn & Teller FOOL US show multiple times, he's a proven topflight magician in the world of magic. Tickets at the door: $10 for IBM RING 22 members, $20 for non-members and guests! EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
MORE ONDREJ FACTS
Based in Czech Republic, Ondrej has built his career on the global stage and, by the age of 30, gained recognition as one of the best and most popular magicians working today. He has showcased his wide range of original magic all around the world, including The Chicago Magic Lounge and the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, California (in addition to his Penn & Teller FOOL US TV appearances). To date, he is the only Czech performer to have fooled Penn & Teller, and one of few who has fooled them no less than three times! .
His fresh performance style was honed during six years of acting studies in Prague and Los Angeles during which time he discovered his biggest weakness: he had no patience for practicing sleight-of-hand techniques. What did he do? He embraced it and turned it into his greatest strength. Not by getting good, but by getting smart. He started working on ways to perform jaw-dropping effects without any sleights, devoting eight years to the development of his beautiful and best-selling Butterfly Playing Cards—a deck that enables magicians to perform effects not possible with any other cards.
And now, he wants to share its secrets with you! EVERYONE IS WELCOME - DON'T MISS THIS RARE LECTURE EVENT!
