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

Garth
This guy is brilliant ! I love the theory stuff, this is the kind of stuff I long for in magic. Make some audio shows with him !
Lewis
The entire lecture was fantastic great lecture.
Buck
This lecture is what every performing magician needs to see. Garrett goes deep into theory, shedding light on aspects of performing you never even thought to think of.

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.
Brandon
THREE hours of Garrett Thomas, need I say more? I have already watched this lecture multiple times over. You're not going to get trick after trick in this lecture, but the value of what you do get far outweighs the price. Whether you are a beginner in magic or a working professional, everyone should own this lecture.
Chris
Great work on theory, every magician should see this.
Claudio
One of the best lectures I have seen. Highly recommended. I don't intend to get the 50 points.
Thomas
this was by far the most interesting and encouraging lecture which makes me proud of my art!
A
Honestly the best $8 I've spent in magic. How the hell is this $8, the theory that Garrett teaches is unbelievable. Don't tell the story, be the story
Daniel
Really enjoyed this. I liked hearing Garrett’s thinking about presentation and the thought behind the construction of each effect, as well as the importance of the connection/interaction with the spectators over the tricks themselves. Best laugh goes to Gregory Wilson for “Yah-way!”
Rick
Very enjoyable and inspiring lecture.
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 :)
Thomas
SIMPLY INCREDIBLE my entire way of thinking changed because of this lecture. Garret thomas is a genius in every way
Christopher
This is a 5 star lecture on magic theory made difficult to watch by Greg Wilson's need to be the centre of attention. He spends the whole thing trying to be funny, talking over his guest, and adds nothing
Erik
His tricks are not something that i would use. But its clearly visible how much he loves this art, his theory is amazing, he thought out every detail in his tricks also in performance and presentation of his material. Overall 10 bucks for this is basically free on how much u can learn from that.
Brian
Superb !!
David
GT is far and away one of the best Magicians today! Very good!!
Rick
All I can really say is Garrett is an amazing magician & philosopher. To me, the best part of the lecture is at the beginning when GT & Greg Wilson is talking about problem & skeptical spectators & presenting and framing your material or effect as a "gift" instead of "I am here to trick you or fool you." That is really something I can use right away.

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!
