Garrett Thomas Live Lecture
Garrett Thomas Live Lecture

Garrett Thomas needs no formal introduction. A genuine master in his craft, Garrett is one of the few magicians who can claim the titles of innovator, performer, and all around genius. While Garret was releasing hit effects like, "Banded", "Imagination Coins", and "Stand-Up Monte", he also focused his creative ingenuity as a behind the scenes consultant to David Blaine, and here At The Table, he'll share that brilliance on camera. While Garrett teaches a number of unbelievable moves and effects, his lecture is aimed at drawing out your inner magician. If you're satisfied with being a mediocre performer, this is not the lecture for you. But if you've ever dreamed of gaining deep insight on how to become a master magician with the ability to create miracles, join us as we welcome Garrett Thomas, At The Table. Here are some of the things you'll learn:
Garrett's Tilt - The best tilt move you'll ever see. Magicians and spectators can be burning the deck and still never see this one coming.
Garrett's False Pick Up - A flawless move that seems like the magician is simply cutting deeper into a pack while forcing a chosen card. Combine this with Garrett's tilt move, and you've got a hypnotic array of reveals.
Garrett's Smith Myth - Garrett shows three spectators three cards. The spectators then push each card into random places in the deck, and the deck is randomly cut into multiple piles. The magician can now reveal that the spectator's chosen cards are the cards on each pile.
Lie to Me - Garrett starts out by pulling out a random card. He then shows the spectator a card, then asks the spectators to lie about the card by naming a random card. He then is able to divine the spectator's true card, but even more surprisingly, the random card pulled out from the very beginning ends up being the lie card.
Dime and Penny - The spectator holds four pennies and a dime stacked and locked between their fingers. Without going near the spectator, the magician now reveals the dime is now in his hand, and has vanished from the spectator's hand.
Pen Thru Quarter - A super clean pen through quarter effect.
Silver Dollar to Ring - A routine where a coin becomes a ring which then becomes a coin which then transforms back to the ring. Every single moment feels naturally motivated and incredibly magical.
Customer reviews for Garrett Thomas Live Lecture
You will not be getting fancy card tricks with this lecture, but what you will get is far greater: philosophy, approach, and inspiration. You won't walk away with a lot of new effects, but with the insight that Garrett provides you'll draw better connections between your audience and the sleights/illusions you already possess.
The only downside to this is Mr. Wilson, who continually interrupts, side-tracks, and slows down the lecture. It's frustrating and quite annoying. Vanishing Inc, please do not have him on again. Massive props to GT for barreling through and delivering gem after gem.
I've seen it at least 6 or 7 times and can honestly say I didn't learn any tricks.
And I think Garret Thomas says in the lecture something like, there's more important things than just the tricks. His How and Why's are very interesting. And his point of attitude on approaching people and the idea of Magic as a gift really sticks with me.
There are some amazing tricks on here. Sadly I don't have two of the simple gimmicks. Being Canadian (me) has it's drawbacks :)
Some of you will buy the lecture for the tricks, but I already know a million tricks, the value of the lecture is in Garrett's philosophy on magic. GT has an interesting view on mentalists which I don't totally agree with, but at least I know where he's coming from.
For me the best trick on the tape is the classic Pen Though Quarter, that is the smoothest version of doing that effect that I have ever seen.
I don't what else he could have added to the lecture that isn't already in there. Except I would have loved to hear more of his philosophy rather than watched tricks. Overall, for $8 you really cannot go wrong here. Two thumbs up!
