“Tony Clark probably has more experience, with more different kinds of magic, than anyone I know. That’s what makes his lecture so interesting, and so much fun. He’s brought all of that experience, all that creativity, to a whole new range of effects. Best of all, once you see Tony perform them, they’re ideas that you’ll want to use.” – Jim Steinmeyer

“Tony Clark is a master magician. His knowledge is expansive; he knows how to successfully perform everything from intricate sleight-of-hand to large-scale stage illusions, and his solutions are always elegant and magical. We are lucky he is sharing his knowledge.” – Danny Cole

“Tony Clark always has the answer! His deep breadth of knowledge in all areas of magic has been built over many years of performing, teaching, learning, and consulting. He has a way of attacking magic that is logical, creative, and smart. He WILL make you a better magician, performer, and thinker!” – Jonathan Levit

What Will He Teach?

4 Ace Cut into “Liar, Liar” Mind Reading Effect: A classic mentalism routine featuring four spectators. This engaging effect begins with participants cutting to aces and transitions into a mind reading segment where the magician reveals who wrote what on four pieces of paper. It’s compact yet impactful for stage performances.

Silk Thru Spectator’s Arm: A captivating illusion where a silk scarf appears to penetrate through a spectator’s arm.

Knife Thru Coat: An impromptu classic where a real knife seemingly passes through a spectator’s jacket, creating a strong visual impact.

Flying Knots in Glasses: A visually stunning routine where knots magically transfer from one set of tied scarves to another glass held by a spectator, packing flat but playing big.

Coins Thru Table/One Coin Routine: A modern take on the legendary Slydini’s coins through the table, teaching essential principles of timing and misdirection.

6 Card Repeat: An excellent opening effect, with Tony presenting a straightforward, un-gimmicked version suitable for any performance.

3 Phase Cut and Restored Rope Routine: Featuring the initial phases from Slydini’s classic, this fun and powerful effect is perfect for any magician’s repertoire.

Bottle Thru Body: A dramatic illusion where a beer bottle is passed through a spectator’s midsection, with an additional bottle through table effect demonstrated later in the lecture.
