Ron Bauer has given his 2008 Lecture Notes a facelift, and if you missed out the first time around, here's your golden ticket! And for those of you who grabbed the original notes, good news—you can snag this Revised Version for a sweet 40% off!!
This isn’t just any old rehash; it’s a REVISED AND EXPANDED booklet of The Ron Bauer 2008 Lecture from the Golden Gate Gathering in San Francisco. Those thirty-two saddle-stitched pages are jam-packed with words and visuals split into three tasty courses…
Part 1: THE WRONG LECTURE essay along with a rundown of some of the RBPS series PERFORMANCE PIECES that were either shown off or chatted about.
Part 2: DO YOU HAVE AN ACT? RB dives deep into how to whip up a cohesive ACT, covering everything from FORMAT to PREMISE to PLOT OUTLINE to PERFORMANCE SCRIPT. This method is tailor-made to let you use all those random tricks you’ve got lying around, stitching them together with an OPENING, a CLOSING, and TRANSITIONS. Each of those theatrical gems gets the spotlight, complete with examples sprinkled throughout these notes. In just one afternoon, you can whip up a killer act using The Big Bag of Tricks & The Little Black Hat PREMISE (What if I could throw ALL my tricks into a BIG BAG and let the audience pick the show?).
Part 3: Get ready for in-depth and illustrated how-tos for two iconic “no-tell” sleight-of-hand techniques: the Two-card Turnover Technique (TTT) and the Riffle Action Palm. These are the only COMPLETE ILLUSTRATED INSTRUCTIONS you'll find for these moves. Charlie Miller once said in Genii, November 1982, "I must confess that I never even suspected that Ron was turning over the two top cards as one..."
BONUS: A full rundown and breakdown of an RB exclusive that's been under wraps for almost fifty years. It’s the "Case of the Card in the Case," which he used to land the Magician in Residence gig at Detroit's Kenwood Club back in 1959, and kept it on the down-low until he let Jack McMillen and Paul Chosse in on it in 1989, which sparked the buzz. McMillen and Chosse quickly realized that some of the sneaky methods he employed, acting as clever stand-ins for utility moves, were way more jaw-dropping than the actual effect! Trust us, you will too.
