[ozMagic Member Posting] MARTIN LEWIS is Lecturing in Australia for the first time!

[Dave Lord]

MARTIN LEWIS
Three Times Award Winner!
Academy Of Magical Arts
The Magic Castle - Los Angeles

Martin Lewis, an engaging Englishman with long tapered fingers ideal for the performance of his art, has spent his entire life involved with prestidigitation. With 25 years of experience in producing and performing magic, Martin Lewis leads the field in original concepts and presentations. Martin is best known to magicians for his effect “Cardiographic” - the sketch pad card rise, which has been used by David Copperfield both in his live show and on Television.

"... In Martin's effortless style he offered us deft demonstrations (followed by explanations that were easy on the brain) and an engaging sense of humour that ranged from smart witticisms to outrageous puns...
...Speaking of one of his tricks which has been much marketed by others Martin observed that if imitation was indeed the sincerest form of flattery then he had been greatly flattered! After witnessing an evening of Martin Lewis' magic, it is not difficult to see why anyone would want to imitate him. And that's not idle flattery!"
Brian Sibley MAGIC CIRCULAR (London Magic Circle)

"I can't tell you how pleased I was, both as an organizer and as an audience member, with your extraordinary efforts. The stage show set precisely the right tone and your lectures and close up presentations were superb."
Rich Bloch (Collectors Workshop "World Magic Summit")

"Go and see this man lecture! Drive several miles if you must!"
Chris Morrison, Electronic Grymoire

Here's what you can expect in the lecture.....
Part one, stand up magic. 
Undivided
The effect has been around for over a hundred years. Now Martin brings this classic into the 21st century with a new and exciting handling that relies on subtlety rather than dexterity. Used by David Copperfield.
Pocket Technicolor Prediction
A New method for my comedy prediction routine, which includes a great idea by Mike Porstmann.
Senor Mardo Egg Bag
The Senor Mardo egg bag is the most practical and deceptive bag available today. It is easy to handle and the gaff is invisible even upon direct inspection.
Crystal gazing
A spectator slowly names the card that the audience is thinking of by gazing into a crystal ball. Martin’s method is as amazing as the effect.
Comedy Come-Back Card
A very visual card effect for the platform. A card keeps jumping to the face of the pack, which is out of the performers hands.  Created by Martin’s father Eric Lewis.
Cardiographic
Yes you can make one, it’s easier than you think! Martin reveals all the details and subtle touches that brings his sketchpad card rise effect into the miracle class.
Part two, close up magic.
Business Card-iographic
You show an image of a deck, drawn on your business card. Slowly, and in full view, a drawing of a selected card rises from it. You then give it away as a souvenir. Business Card-iographic is a stunning promotional giveaway, that your customer will keep for years.
The Point of Arrival
Two marked cards vanish from the deck and join the ten in a handkerchief. A detailed exercise in misdirection.
S. U. M.
S.U.M. has nothing to do with math, the initials stand for Set Up Marked. It is the stacked, marked, deck that needs no calculation or memorization whatsoever - the deck does all the work.
The Sidewalk Shuffle
Martin's classic jumbo monte effect, still used by magicians everywhere, after 30 plus years.
The Stampede Second
Deal cards out from under a postage stamp in this highly visual illusion. Paul Harris is considering this for David Blaine so look out...
Mcabee Rings
The most elegant close up linking ring routine, with gold bracelets, which is eventually left for examination.
