“Chris Korn has been inspiring magicians with his unique style of magic for decades. This latest offering is no different. His 10 coin production is worth the price of the lecture.” -Eric Jones
“I’ve seen Korn melt brains (including mine) with this material in real life. Pound for pound one of the best close-up magic lectures I’ve seen in a LONG time. Just buy the damn thing. If you don’t find at least one thing to add to your working set immediately, then you probably think Nickelback is ‘music’. -Nick Diffatte
“If you never saw Chris perform that’s because he was too busy performing his magic abroad….now you can see his most prized material that made him travel around the globe.” -JB Dumas
“One Jack Off… SEXY! That doesn’t sound right… but it is! Commercial, strong, practical magic! You can’t expect anything less from Korn!” -Daniel Garcia
“You can’t trust anything I say about Chris Korn. He’s my friend, my brother, and one of my most talented and trusted friends in magic. Trouble is, almost anyone you’ve ever (or never) heard of in magic could say the same. He’s awesome. His material is awesome. It’s just a shame the poor guy hit every branch when he fell out of the ugly tree.” -Paul Wilson
“Speaking as one of the coin guys who has been nagging Chris for years to release ‘One to the Tenth Power’, I can tell you that this lecture is worth twice whatever they’re asking for. If all that comes out of this quarantine lockdown is Chris Korn 2, it will have been worth it.” -Curtis Kam
“Chris Korn’s dedication to the art and the courage to perform for real audiences is a rare thing. Learn as much as you can from this man. Chris is one of the few who has truly walked the walk.” -Tony Chang
“I’ve seen Chris Korn perform and lecture many times over the years, and his creativity and incredible skill blow me away. Chris considers all the details and creates strong, commercial routines that are real workers. You are in for a treat.” -Chad Long
“When it comes to coin magic, Chris Korn is a true legend! I can’t believe he is finally revealing this stunning routine after keeping it secret for the past twenty years.” -Tobias Dostal
“Chris Korn makes my eyes hurt from amazement. Seriously, one of the craziest skilled, funniest dudes I have ever seen perform.” -Blake Vogt
“There is good and then there’s really good. Chris Korn is the latter; a master of cards, coins, wit, and psychology. Korn is one of the few all-around wonder workers. I’m so looking forward to this!” -Paul Vigil
“Chris Korn is one of my all-time favorite magicians! I’ve been using his material as a secret weapon for years.” -Mike Pisciotta
“Chris, you are revealing your work on the Jacks routine in your lecture??? For that, I both love you and hate you!” -David Regal
“Chris Korn is one of my favorite magicians to watch. In this Penguin lecture, he is sharing his ‘A’ material—the exact set I’ve seen him perform for audiences worldwide for over 20 years. This is the magic that has built his reputation and earned his living. Truly commercial, audience-tested material from one of the best.” -Eric Mead
“Chris Korn is an enigma. It’s not just his mastery of coin and card magic that intrigues; any interaction with him will leave you questioning reality. His humor is quick-witted, and he has an uncanny ability to read people. If I had a dollar for every encounter with Chris that left me bewildered… well, it wouldn’t matter anyway; Chris would have pick-pocketed my every dollar.” -Cassie Kohler, Riverfront Times
What will he teach?
Kennedy Said So- Chris’s handling of the translocation plot where coins vanish from one side of the table and reappear on the other.
A Time For Outs- A Triumph-style routine where a number between one and five is called for. The magician leads the audience down the garden path, shuffling face up into face down with convincing displays, before finally restoring the deck to face all the same way except for the four of a kind that matches the called number.
One Jack Off- A production of an apparently called for four of a kind, followed by a transposition effect where a selected card vanishes from between the four of a kind only to jump into the spectator’s pocket and then again change places with the four of a kind. This is impactful card magic.
Tell Me I’m Wrong- Korn’s take on the classic two-card transposition where the audience indicates where the cards should be only for them to switch places.
One to the Tenth Power- A masterpiece coin flurry that top pros have been urging him to release for years. This gimmick-free, pure sleight of hand routine is a knuckle buster, but you’ll learn everything that makes this what the best coin workers in the business have been wanting to master. One coin is introduced, vanished, and reappears at the performer’s will. It jumps from elbow to elbow, visually vanishes from one hand only to appear in another. Suddenly, the magician splits the coin, producing another and then four… five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten coins in rapid succession before every single coin vanishes in an instant. It’s a masterpiece, and Korn is finally sharing all of the work.
Beginnings, Middles and Ends- These are practical tips to enhance existing tricks, making your routines more powerful.
