What will he teach?
A Force Like No Other This is a psychological force that involves 2 audience members. Jonathan will teach his psychicality and psychology when working with a spectator to give the impression that a selected card is arrived at with no involvement from the magician, while seemingly taking place completely in the spectator’s hands.Bill Switch Jonathan will describe his handling for a bill switch that allows the bill to truly never leave the audience’s sight.
Mental Miracle This is Jonathan’s opening routine from his close up act in which he divines four cards that are selected in four unique ways.
Over There An impromptu reveal of a selected card that emphasizes the build up of an effect.
Card at Any Number A selected card is positioned at any number called out by the spectator. Combined with performance technique, the impression is made that the cards were never handled by the magician.
Everything Changes This is Jonathan’s signature color changing deck routine in which a selected card, as well as the pack of cards, changes color after being in play for some time during the routine.
In addition, Jonathan will be discussing Performance and Character in the construction and presentation of an act.
