If there's a theme for the lecture, it's got to be Comedy. Comedy! Comedy! Comedy! Tamariz understands this fully, and he doesn't only explain how to use it, he proves it too!

 

He begins with the performance of six full routines, it's a great performance and they're great routines, they both baffle and entertain the audience of magicians. He then proceeds with the teaching, and in doing so, chooses one of the routines (The Same Trick Twice) to explain his theory on how Comedy is used in Magic. Tamariz goes into great detail, explaining where it should be used, when it should be used, why to use it and why it works.

 

To finish the lecture, Tamariz treats us to a performance of Follow The Leader. In doing so, he uses the principles previously explained, and shows where they're used in this routine, pointing out why they work.

Although only two routines are explained, this is not a lecture aimed at learning tricks, this is a theory lecture that teaches in detail the use of comedy in magic and performance. The routines that aren't taught, are here for you to watch and enjoy, and with sufficient magic knowledge you can easily understand them. But why they're really here, is to demonstrate the theories taught by Tamariz, and its use in mis-direction.

 

A great lecture for magicians looking to improve performance, by a magician who knows how to perform.
