"International Close Up Session 1 "
由於內容太多,所以只好由在場人士進行複述:


"Chad Long Lecture"
對牌術有一定程度認識的魔術師絕不會不知道這位大師的存在!

1.      Chad’s verion of “Razor Blade” with意大利粉 (真的瘋了)
2.      Card vanishing by eating the piece one by one (真的,真的吃掉….)
3.      A very clear math trick (據說只用了很普通的手法就已經把這招玩得出神入化!)
4.      “Flash” (不知道這招的魔友請面壁思過 =P)
5.      4 coin production in a flash way (據說有人分不請他是用手法或者是用道具把硬幣藏起來,因為那些硬幣出現的太強、太突然………….全場的魔術師都異口同聲說了 “OMG”)
6.      “Look in my ……..” card routine
7.      “Scratch card” themed Chicago card opener
8.      “Book Test” without the book cover !! all pages are loosen up shuffled up (據說這招叫做 “Spine-less” )
9.      最後用一個搞笑的招式做結尾!

"Danny Cole Lecture"
曾經是兩度在Magic Castle獲得 “Stage Magician of the Year” 的大師,當然不會令人失望!
這是他當天表演的招式:
1.      Coat Hanger Illusion --- linking rings同類

3.      Card to pocket + transposition
4.      大部份時間用在魔術理論上 ---如何創造招式 (這真是無價呢~*)

"Michael Weber Lecture"
Weber大師是近景魔術果數一數二的高手,所以……評語就不用說。 =)
這是他當天所表演的招式:
1.      A very clean vanishing rubber band à then appear on a spectator seat (據說他只是輕輕一摸,rubber band就不見了@@)
2.      A SUPER clean handling of “ACAAN” with a BORRWED deck from the crowd (這又是神招…..)
3.      Ring on stick (the ring is borrowed from a spectator)
4.      A GENIUS deck system (據說只需要數分鐘就已經學到了…..)
5.      他分享了如何創造一副 “sealed deck”, 讓人覺得它真的是全新的牌 @@
6.      “Dealing with lifes little troubles” ---大概就是我們如何用魔術把那些平常很麻煩的事得以解決! (這個我想去看一下@@)
太嚇人了!只看這個已經值回票價!

"Andy Nyman Lecture"
神人通常都太嚇人,這位大師當然是其中一位:
1.      “Coin, Watch and Wallet” ---首先他跟觀眾借了硬幣、手錶和銀包。然後請那些觀眾上來,每個人都切一疊牌。當他們3位都切完牌後,他們所切的位置的牌寫著 “coin”, “watch” “wallet” 的字,而其他的牌就只是 blank faces @@ (我自己translate之後都已經絕得心寒………….)
2.      他請了9位觀眾,其中一個是當天的 “birthday boy” 。他之後就給他們9個信封,上面寫著9個號碼。這些numbers9份禮物有關;最後,只有那個生日的人有teddy bear在他的那個袋!
3.      心靈魔術:他用了一副有很多不同的英文詞的牌作表演。然後他請了2位觀眾上台,請每個人選一張牌。他首先估第一位觀眾的牌是甚麼詞;他答對了、並能夠指出那個詞在字典的哪一頁。同樣地,他估第2位的詞,但今次他只寫了數字,而這數字正正是那個詞在那本字典的第幾頁;他們一看那字典,又對了!
4.      一個很特別的牌序
5.      “Boo or Go Crazy” ;請觀眾選數字、顏色和花式。到最後,那張所選的牌是唯一一張有 “Go Crazy” 的字樣at the back;其他的就只有 “Boo” 的字!
神啊救救我吧………..
