You can be sure you'll accomplish two concrete goals at the Aaron Fisher Seminar.

Goal 1 First, at this seminar you will learn several pieces of easy, powerful card magic. This magic works all but automatically. To a great extent, you won't even control the cards during these tricks; the magic will take place in the hands of your spectator. These tricks come from Aaron's professional repertoire. He's tested these effects in front of real audiences hundreds of times. He knows that anything can happen during a live performance and he'll show you how to handle every situation. After working with Aaron, you'll own these effects.

Goal 2 Here comes the exciting part. You'll learn about design. No matter what your skill level, get ready to change the way you look at card magic. You see, many of us evaluate techniques based on difficulty. If a move seems hard, we don't learn it. If it seems easy, we do. Of course, some of us go the other way. We won't even consider a technique unless it looks like a dragon. No matter which side we come from, we lose when we approach card magic this way.

Why not judge a sleight on factors which really evaluate its effectiveness?  When we look at a new technique we should ask several questions. What does  it do? What purpose will it serve? What simple physical principle makes it work? And these mechanical questions just scratch the surface.
 

More important questions concern how the technique relates to the audience.
How long does this move take to execute? Is the audience meant to watch the deck while I do this move, or must they look the other way? How many beats are in this move? What is a beat anyway? How much strength does this technique really require? Are my hands strong enough? Can this technique be done under fire? What is fire anyway? Does this technique allay suspicion, or draw it? The answers to all these questions lie in the area of design. Our magic books don't teach us to ask these questions. They don't give us the tools we need to answer them.

Learning to ask the right design questions can save us hours of wasted practice. After all, any time you spend practicing comes at a high premium. Your time is worth a great deal to you. You should know all the factors before you decide what techniques to invest in. Often, the flashy techniques we see the trendy guys tooling around in don't really provide value.

When you study design, you'll learn to choose economical techniques. These
moves may not cost very much in terms of time, but they can provide years of
value and dependable service. Today, many of the artists creating and selling the techniques and effects you use have not studied design. They sell you techniques which only look good behind a glass counter of the magic shop; these techniques often fall apart in the real world. Design teaches you to know the difference.

After you start thinking about design, hard moves suddenly become easy. You'll see that design affects every part of the technique, right down to the movement of a finger. You'll learn that the mechanical principles good techniques use are mostly very simple. But they only look simple once you know design. We learn from design that most of us make technique more difficult than it has to be. We try too hard. Or worse, we don't understand what we are trying to accomplish in the first place. At the seminar, you'll learn techniques from the ground up. You'll understand 'why' first. You'll see your self accomplish techniques you may have never thought possible.

You have more skill than you think. At the Aaron Fisher seminar, you'll learn how to apply it. Come to the seminar, and just like a good magic show, the magic will happen in your own hands.
