Evidence of Deception by William W. Larsen
Here's an entertaining, 40-60 minute lecture that you, the magical performer, can present on the topic of paying attention to avoid getting taken in by scams, cons and crooked politicians. And it's a money-maker, too.
Entertain your talk with magic: Your audience will not only be informed, but entertained with magic effects that you likely already have, or modestly priced items easily obtained from most any dealer. This newly revised edition also includes three effects recommended by Larsen, that you would previously have had to buy separately.
This lecture is in demand: Not a magic show in the strict sense, this is an informative lecture, which is how you present it to potential clients. This talk is just the ticket for corporate shows, keynote speeches, civic groups, women's groups, men's lodges, public libraries, "brown bag" lunches ... anywhere adults gather.
During election years, this lecture is even more important, as it hammers home the idea that audiences need to do more than simply see, they need to comprehend what they are seeing.
Larsen originally presented this lecture to bar associations, law and judicial groups, political organizations, etc. He soon discovered that the appeal of his talk was general in nature, making it well-received by any adult group. After performing it more than 200 times, he agreed to print his lecture, including patter and choice of effects, and offer it to the magic fraternity at large. Everything needed should fit into an average briefcase.
This revised edition provides complete directions and patter for Tom Bowyer's Repeat Bill Trick. Also includes directions for constructing Eddie Clever's Hallucination effect, as well as patter and assembly instructions for the Chicago Magic Co. Improved Afghan Bands trick.
