Week one updated
For the first time, Homer Liwag will be presenting a lecture for magicians during one of the most eagerly awaited Vanishing Inc. Masterclass sessions.
Homer Liwag is an acclaimed director, cinematographer, and artist with nearly 30 years of experience working alongside David Copperfield. His expertise spans video and music editing, sound design, script development, illusion staging, and theatrical lighting design. However, his true passion lies in the art of magic.
Before becoming the co-director and design director for David Copperfield’s live Las Vegas shows and Emmy-winning TV specials, Homer was an active magician. He refined his craft in the bar and restaurant scene and is excited to share his most treasured magic creations, along with essential lighting and video techniques that every magician should master.
“Homer Liwag’s Masterclass” can be purchased separately, but the best value is through Vanishing Inc. Monthly. This subscription includes the Masterclass, access to hundreds of dollars worth of exclusive streaming tutorials, and free or discounted shipping on all orders—at a fraction of the cost of the Masterclass alone.
