The 2005 Lecture
 
Part one, stand up magic.
 The prismatic pencil
A pencil changes color  when passed through the hand. Change a plain pencil into one bearing your contact information for a giveaway they won’t forget…
 
The torn cigarette paper
The effect has been around for over a hundred years. Now Martin brings this classic into the 21st century with a new and exciting handling that relies on subtlety rather than dexterity. Used by David Copperfield.
 
A technicolor prediction
A prediction effect with built in comedy that leads up to a suprising finale. Easy to customise for differrent audiences. Each time the outcome is different.
 
The mardo egg bag
The Senor Mardo egg bag is the most practical and deceptive bag available today. It is easy to handle and the gaff is invisible even upon direct inspection.

The comedy come-back card A very visual card effect for the platform. A card keeps jumping to the face of the pack, which is out of the performers hands.  Created by Martin’s father Eric Lewis.
 
Crystal gazing
A spectator slowly names the card that the audience is thinking of by gazing into a crystal ball. Martin’s method is as amazing as the effect.
 
Cardiographic
Yes you can make one, it’s easier than you think! Martin reveals all the details and subtle touches that brings his sketchpad card rise effect into the miracle class.
 

Part two, close up magic.

The Big Switch
A great MC. Bit. Attempting to right a wrong the performer shows the audience how to switch a card… Literally!
 
The cheap cup
Cheap cup! Cheap jokes! Priceless! 
 
The point of arrival
Two marked cards vanish from the deck and join the ten in a handkerchief. A detailed exercise in misdirection.
 
The sidewalk shuffle
Martin's classic jumbo monte effect, still used by magicians everywhere, after 30 plus years.
 
Magician’s poker
The dealer can't lose in this highly commercial, yet almost self-working, poker deal which automatically reset after each performance.
 
Ghostwriter
When the name of a selected card is found mysteriously written on a borrowed paper napkin or handkerchief, it can only be the work of the Ghostwriter.
 
Mcabee rings
The most elegant close up linking ring routine, with silver bracelets, which is eventually left for examination.
