Howard Hamburg shares great stories and wonderful magic!


Howard Hamburg delivered a wonderful lecture to our New York City crowd last night. He delighted the audience with his stellar card tricks and his anecdotes about spending time at the Magic Castle with close-up legends like Dai Vernon, Charlie Miller, Martin Nash, Larry Jennings and company.
"Vernon always thought 'select a card' was better than saying 'take a card,'" Howard said, "Semantics? Perhaps, but he [Vernon] knew a lot more then I did."
The highlights of the lecture included a great control which Howard dubbed the Oops Replacement as well as his extraordinary effect The Mystical 13. If you'd like to learn Howard Hamburg's material you can buy autographed copies of Howard's lecture notes D: Limited Edition here.

See a photo gallery of the Howard Hamburg lecture here and watch this video of Howard saying "hello" from Tannen's.

Lennart Green is a super-human card magician!


Swedish card magician, Lennart Green, lectured to a sold-out house last night!

His lecture was absolutely amazing. He shared his pet-effects, some of which were self-working and some of which involved super-human sleight-of-hand abilities. Lennart's work on the lateral palm, was awe-inspiring, he used the technique to lap, switch, deal, steal, etc. If Lennart can think it, he can do it.

One of the highlights was a weight based puzzle that Lennart developed using three boxes of cards. Check out this photo gallery of the Lennart Green lecture to share in the experience!

Want to see more great magic in NYC? Make sure you sign-up for the Howard Hamburg lecture, which will be held at Tannen's on Thursday, August 23rd, 2012 st 7:00 PM.
