October 19th 2017 – Chris Woods Lecture
Those of you that attended the first lecture by Chris will know the sort of detail he can dig into regarding performance. In this second lecture he deconstructs seven more effects that he regularly uses in his professional work. Each has his own take on handling and presentation and have been proven winners with the paying public in both parlour and close up contexts.
The Kitson Miracle ~ Las Vegas Swindle ~ Switching the Die ~ Chinese Challenge ~ Ambitious Aces ~ Twisting the Aces ~ Fechters Aces.
