Mark Leveridge
The Pick and Mix' lecture/dem
 Here
is a unique concept in lecturing! Normally when you book a lecturer, it is
he who decides which items you are going to see. This is fine if the
selection of material happens to match the interests of the club members,
but clearly not so good if too many of the items fall outside those areas
of interest.
Now, for the first time, I am offering clubs the chance to see a lecture
which contains effects which THEY choose! From a possible list of 20
varied routines, you can select up to 8 that you would like me to perform
and explain. The list of effects comprises of 20 of my E-Routines, a set
of tricks which has been collected from my many books and lecture notes.
Some of these have been in lectures before, but many haven't. Virtually no
specialist apparatus is required for any of the routines.
When you book the 'Pick and Mix' Lecture/Dem, you simply provide me with
your selection of 8 routines from this list. You can either have the club
committee or a single committee member of the club make the selection on
behalf of the members, or you can print out the list and have the members
make their own choices from which you then opt for the most popular
selections. Either way it puts YOU in control and hopefully will provide
an appropriate and entertaining evening.
The lecture part of the evening will normally last between 60 and 75
minutes. After a short break I will then present a dealer dem for
approximately a further 30 minutes featuring some of my most recent
releases with the opportunity for the members to buy them before the
close.

Gordon

Gordon is an Associate Member of The Inner Magic Circle. He is a
professional close-up/card magician and entertainer who travels the world
with his act and lecture. Paul is a creator, author and publisher of
top-quality books, DVDs and tricks. His lecture is entertaining as well as

received praise from ‘names’ like Steve Beam, Aldo Colombini, J. C Wagner,
Jim Sisti, John Guastaferro, Jamy Ian Swiss, Harry Lorayne & more!
“He held some fifty people enthralled as he demonstrated some items from
his books. In situations like this, his command is phenomenal. He makes
card tricks entertaining! He has the audience hanging onto his every
word!” - Walt Lees on Paul's lecture. (Abra, July 2007)
Paul lectures on magic that comes from his 'live' act and from his books -
proof enough that it is all practical! He truly feels that he can even
