  • An IMPOSSIBLE transformation using borrowed pocket change and a borrowed camera phone
  • An organic transposition with ordinary key tags
  • And MUCH more…
Jeff will discuss his best-selling marketed products, including Gum, Keylicious, Fuze, The Silencer, Voices, and some new, soon-to-be-released items! All the while, Jeff will demonstrate how to be more creative in your own magic.

ABOUT THE EVENT
All of Tony Clark’s magic incorporates principles of Timing and Misdirection learned during his formative years studying with the legendary Slydini. Tony was one of his last students. His new lecture features many brand new, never before revealed effects and routines and is a mix of close- up, stand-up and stage effects. These are the valued repertoire (plus the story and inspiration behind them) that Tony has wowed the world with over his 20+ years of professional magic. Visible and powerful, yet easy to learn magic effects that you’ll actually want to practice and use!
