Don’t miss the amazing opportunity to witness Lennart Green live at Magic-Con 2011.

As an encore, Dan and Dave are presenting an exclusive workshop from this incomparable magician. Limited to only 30 seats and recommended for serious students, this is a rare privilege to learn hands-on from a master. The workshop will begin at 7pm on Sunday, March 27th, and is scheduled for three hours. However, considering the breadth of material in Lennarts’ repertoire, who knows how late this might actually go. This workshop will cover entirely different material then explained during Lennart’s lecture for Magic-Con.

The research doesn’t have to be earth shattering, although we will be choosing the best ones. Perhaps something along the lines of comparing and contrasting the double lifts in Expert Card Technique, a paper documenting all the times that Jay Sankey uses the Erdnase Color Change in his most recent video and for what purposes, a complete bibliography of the published works of Tony Chang, a list of the secret ends that a half pass can accomplish (switch, force, change, ?), etc. Have fun, be clever, and make it short and interesting.

In addition to the registration discount, you may also have the opportunity to present your research at the convention, if you are so inclined.

Research papers must be submitted by Sunday, February 27, so you have time to book your plane travel to what will be a very awesome experience!

*New registrations only, unfortunately.

The Last Greatest Magician in the World: Howard Thurston versus Houdini & the Battles of the American Wizards by Jim Steinmeyer is now available.

The exhibit will breath daily as a “conceptual magic shop” where Kaino and DelGaudio will develop magic tricks based on suggestions from guests visiting the gallery as part of their piece, Ready to Be Made.

Visit them in the LAXART Annex at Space 15 Twenty for more information and to offer your own suggestion for what they might develop into a real trick.

It should come as no surprise both Apollo Robbins and neuromagic team and Magic-Con 2011 speakers, Stephen Macknik and Susana Conde-Martinez were on the scene pinpointing why we are fooled through advanced scientific technology and years of research. Other magicians offering up a ruse for research were Tell, of Penn & Teller, and Mac King, who is also a Magic-Con 2011 speaker.

Now magic can reveal how our brains work in everyday situations. For instance, if you’ve ever bought an expensive item you’d sworn you’d never buy, the salesperson was probably a master at creating the “illusion of choice,” a core technique of magic. The implications of neuromagic go beyond illuminating our behavior; early research points to new approaches for everything from the diagnosis of autism to marketing techniques and education. Sleights of Mind makes neuroscience fun and accessible by unveiling the key connections between magic and the mind.
