Sunday 16th of January 2011, I attended a day of card magic held by Paul Gordon called card capers. The day was packed full of great card magic.

The day started off at 10am where Paul Gordon did his lecture. Where he explained everything from beginner to advance tricks from self working to slight filled and tricks with full decks and packet tricks, there was something for everyone. He also spoke told stories about his experiences. The bit I liked best of the lecture was when he spoke about presentation and how to make your magic better.

At around 12:30 pm we stopped for lunch and I had chance to speak to some of the other guys that were there, spoke to a few people and showed a few tricks. I also was able to indulge in an awesome 3 course meal which was on offer at the hotel (I enjoyed the meal a lot)

Paul started the event again at around 1:30pm and in second half Paul took some questions which covered a few topics such as

  •  Misdirection when doing the pass (magicians own what I speaking about )
  •   Getting booked for gigs
  •   Slights that were causing some people problems
  •   Some more tricks
  •   And loads loads more

 Paul also had some of his published material for sale at really low prices which I managed to get my hands on some

some of Paul`s products on offer

Overall the day was great I really enjoyed it learned some killer magic, some of which I will start to use soon once I have practiced and perfected them and I would recommend Paul Gordon’s Card Capers to anyone who is into card magic.
