Schedule of Events at the Aaron Fisher Seminar

Schedule of Events

7:00pm - You arrive half an hour early. This gives you a chance to greet the boys and grab a drink. Wherever possible, the chairs will surround Aaron in semi-circles. Everybody will have a good view of the action. Prepare for Aaron to engage you directly. He will ask you questions and work with you during the event. Did you bring a deck of cards? Sharpen your pencil and grab your notebook. You'll learn the kind of tips tonight you won't find magic books. Smart students prepare to write them down.

7:30pm - Aaron starts the seminar by performing two powerful card tricks within the reach of complete beginners. He'll teach you every aspect of these effects, so you'll be able to perform them the next day.

Aaron uses these powerful effects to make a living - the magic happens almost entirely in the hands of the spectator.

Everyone focused on Aaron and Magic!

Now that everyone's learned a few new tricks, Aaron will take you into the first design workshop of the evening. In it you'll learn a technique that frightens the big boys. This old idea will provide the perfect example of the design approach. You'll learn why even experts, out of fear, say the move is impractical.

You'll learn why those experts are wrong.

In twenty five minutes, you'll become proficient in a technique which will accord you status among the pros. You'll learn it, and you'll own it - at the lecture, in real time. Just like the Rangers, no man will be left behind!

Relax. You've done well. Sit back while Aaron shows you a powerful routine with a prop you probably already own. This effect will show you how a clever presentation and good construction can turn a standard dealer's item into a powerful piece of close up magic.

Now as the break approaches, sit back and watch Aaron perform some of his marketed effects. First he'll entertain and fool you. Then everything will be explained.

9:00pm - Break Time. If you're not in California, go smoke that cigarette. Or come up front and watch Aaron perform some eye popping magic. Aaron has a reputation as one of the hottest card workers in the United States. But because the seminar focuses on 'hands on' teaching, he doesn't have time to perform all of his most dazzling magic during the formal program.

Break time is the chance for the serious guys to see the heavy work.

Watch Aaron closely! 9:30pm - Come on back and bring your pack. The second half starts with Aaron displaying some of his most dazzling, visual magic. This material made his reputation. Following the performance, Aaron will discuss the design and application of the Gravity Half Pass. This technique earned Aaron his reputation; it will not be mastered in an evening. But Aaron's discussion on the topic will provide valuable design lessons for anyone interested in improving their card magic. The concepts used in the Gravity Half Pass also guide the performance of a good double-lift.

You'll learn these concepts and how to apply them to your own magic.

Now get ready to have your mind blown. First, Aaron teaches the tricks he opened the set with. Then, he shows every last audience member how to achieve the same effects without the half pass! Aaron will show you how to use your own personality, combined with the psychology of performance to take the heavy work out of the heavy work.

You'll achieve the effects that Aaron spent a decade to learn in less then a half an hour.

10:15pm - Aaron finishes the evening by teaching two more effects you'll be able to apply immediately, no matter what your skill level. Both effects look incredible.

The first will earn you a reputation as a master of misdirection, even if you have no experience in this challenging aspect magic. With great power comes great responsibility. Aaron will show you how not to abuse your new found power. It's one thing to fool people badly. It's quite another to make them like it!

Finally, you'll learn Aaron's color changing deck routine, called Revolution Number #9. When the trick first appeared in Aaron's book, The Paper Engine, it was a stunner. It's still a killer, but now it's all but automatic! Not only will you achieve perhaps the most stunning visual effect in your repertoire, but you already know how to do it.

10:30pm - Ask Aaron any questions you've thought up and see some last minute magic.

See you there!!

Plan to be filled with good magic and new ideas. Get ready to tackle your magic with a new sense of understanding and confidence. You can handle cards. You do have talent. Now go and show the world!
