Mattthew Dowden ( you know him from the PARTY ANIMAL DVD set ) announced in another thread that he is making his 2008 lecture notes avialable.
It's about 34 pages and Matthew says there are brand new effects plus hints and tips on getting a residency ( full time restaurant gig ), building a crowd at trade shows and also getting the best possible reactions to your magic. They'll be e-mailed in PDF format and the cost is £10 which is about $20 American and you can pay through Paypal. If you're interested PM Matthew on the Café at mjdowden or e-mail info@matthewjdowden.com and he'll give you all the details.

Got this yesterday and it is brilliant.Brilliant tricks and sound advice.Three of the tricks are going straight into my repertoire and I'll be working on some of the others.My favourite is the first effect Underage Gambling a great sucker effect with automatic suspense built in.

I would also like to add to the praise of these notes. Ideas are great and not too difficult. I should also mention that there is information on gaining a residency as well as Getting the Best Reaction which I both found very valuable. Also, Matthew is a great guy and is has been great with answering any questions I had with his material!

I really enjoyed Matthew's notes and give them my highest recommendation.
The tricks are wonderful - Underage Gambling went straight in to my repertoire, but the advice is quite honestly priceless! I know saying something is "worth the price of the book" is an overused cliche in magic, but in this case, Matthew's advice on "Getting the best Reaction" really is worth many times the asking price. If you've seen Matthew perform, live or on his DVD's, you'll quickly realise that this man knows a thing or two about getting great reactions. In his notes he spends 8 or 9 pages analysing exactly how you too can achieve this in your own performances. Plus, good advice on getting a residency, building a crowd during trade shows and much more! Iain. |

Hi Lil Magic
Effect wise it is: Anniversary Waltz Underage Gambling Watch This (Card under watch presentation) Presentation for Wayne Dobson's Revelation Matthew's Hot Shot Routine The Card Locator Matthew's Combination Force New Card To Any Number Hope this helps. The only thing in there that's also on Party Animal is Anniversary Waltz. Cheers Matthew |
