Lee Smiths lecture notes are a collection of recommended, workable effects. Less goes into brilliant depth in many area’s of working a room. From your introduction, right through your act and your closing effects. He takes you through a complete working situation and the effect he has chosen for the book is just the best collection of practical effects. Most of them are incredibly simple but pack one hell of a punch. His advice comes from a real worker and is invaluable. Lee’s done a cracking job with these lecture notes and now I just want to see the lecture. He covers classics like crazy man’s handcuffs, two card Transpo and out to lunch as well as mixing things up with Switch Trick and Key to Amazement. Again every trick is clear and concise. Leaving you so much room to perfect you performance and never go wrong. As far as lecture note’s go, these are within my top 10 just for the information alone. The effects are tipping it into brilliance. A very good piece of literature from beginning to work professionally to those old pros. Bring the lecture my way Lee!

Hi everyone,

The feed back on the notes has been amazing, thanks agian for all the kind words and emails. I so pleased you ae all using some of the routines.

I have a bit more info on the site now for the list of effects.

http://www.walkaboutmagic.com/walkabout ... -notes.php

Stoner also put the list of effects in the original Review, but there is a bit more detail here as some of you have asked.

Regards,

Lee.

Finally found the time to work through these notes, and I can safely say it was time well spent!



Cost £10



Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)

I found this about a 3. Not for a total beginner at magic but theres nothing that was way over my ahead.


Review
I really enjoyed reading through these notes. The first page or two is chock full of tips on performance, presentation and the like and has some really stellar advice in there about presenting yourself, good preperation and some great stuff about burying "misses" with forces. All in all, a good few pages of useful performance tips there before you even get onto the tricks.

I wont list all the effects included in here as it has already been covered in the thread, but I will mention a few of my favorites!

Switch Trick - This is my absolute favorite from the notes. This trick is something you will definately want to take away and try out for yourself as soon as you read it.

Trans-box-ition - I had done something ever so slightly similar to this recently and the effect was good, but I've since scrapped that old way because this trick, with cards escaping from the specs hands and appearing under the card box is extremely effective. I've tried it on some friends and the reactions were very powerful indeed, a superb trick (I can see why it is a signiture trick of Lee's!)

There are several other great tricks in there, some really nice stuff with business cards, but those two are definately my favorites.

Overall
Great tricks that have been tried and tested, very dutifully explained by Lee. Really valuable advice on performance in general too, which everyone will get something out of, from an amatuer like myself right up to a pro I think. If you love good close-up magic, you will definately enjoy these notes. Plus Lee emailed me a follow up effect which takes two of the tricks and makes them so much better, which was really decent of him I think.
Worth a tenner? Definately worth every single penny. Theres alot of excellent stuff here. Thanks Lee!

9.5 / 10

Thanks Matthius88,

Im so pleased you using some of the effects, the two you mention are porb my favourite as well.

I use them on a daily basis, both also give you the option for alternate endings and handlings, so please play aroud. And if anyone comes up with new ideas for the effects please let me know.

I have about three endings I use for the Switch trick, but would love to hear more.


Thanks again.

Lee.

Hi,

I just love Lee's style and work, all very commercial stuff. I've been fortunate enough to have 'seshed' with Lee a few times and I've seen Lee fire most of these effects in action for real people.

My firm favorites are, The Trick With No Name - Simple in plot yet very strong in effect.

Switch Trick - This is so so cheeky and is a real mind f### for laymen and magicians, love it.

Trans-box-ition - Lee's handling of this plot is outstanding, every move is covered so logically with great built in misdirection.

Just Think - This is excellent (I did this about half a dozen times tonight) love it!

The notes also have some great tips on practice, the gigs themselves plus loads of other advice which has been learned the hard way.

Great magic from a great magician.

All the best,

Gary Jones.

I am very pleased to announce that based aroud the lecture material I have a 2 disc DVD set coming out (all being well due for a launch a Blackpool) with RSVP magic.

Many thanks.

Lee.

Brilliant notes - easy to read and workable material. These are definitely routines from a real world worker, rather than a theorist. Simple, hard hitting, and strong

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to point out that these lecture notes are attached to volume 1 of my new DVD's the STEP SYSTEM as a PDF.

You can still get them on the website as a single PDF, but they have been included on the DVD set.

Many thanks.


Lee.

Thanks for a grand review,

I am having the list of effects and the shop etc updated on the website in the next couple of days. Please note the the notes are in PDF format from the website orders, and please allow upto 24hrs (But will be much sooner) for them to get to you as im doing all the orders myself at the moment.

They come in booklet form when brought from the lecture.



I am really pleased with the lecture and the notes. I have included some of my favourite effects and a couple of ideas that I have never put out before, I am extremely pleased with TRANS-BOX-ITION and i know alot of working magicians have added this to their working reportoire.

There is something for all skill levels and none of the routines are complicated, and some self working.

Most effects can be perfromed anywhere anytime, and are all impromptu, visual and most of all try'd and test in the real world thousands of times.

I have also touched on the other aspects of magic. Pocket, audience management Etc.

If People use just one thing from them i will be happy :lol:

Thanks again for great review.


How much are your lecture notes?

Many thanks
