  The Simple Miracles LectureHow many times have you attended a lecture, enjoyed the performance, but then realized later on that you weren't performing any of the tricks you learned? We've all been there. This lecture presents highly visual magic that is also simple to do that you will want to add to your permanent repertoire.Some of the effects taught are: World's Best (fake) Knot- If you have ever struggled with the Hunter's Bow knot, here is a fake knot that is ten times more realistic and five times easier to tie. Perfect Ending to Professor's Nightmare- Imagine doing a standard Professor's Nightmare rope trick but being able to hand out the three equal-length ropes for examination. The New Shell Game- Like the classic Shell Game which is performed with walnut shells and a pea, the New Shell Game is done with coins and shot glasses. This routine has four climaxes and it's a fooler. Rubber Band Tricks Without the Rubber Bands- Rubber band magic is beautiful, but it is necessarily close up. Imagine being able to perform with a slightly different prop which can be seen by a far larger audience ACAAN Outdone- Magicians love Any Card At Any Number (ACAAN), but here is an even better version where you do more than predict where in the deck the chosen card will be. Ultimate Mini Linking Rings- Perform the classic of magic in a close up setting using these doubly gaffed rings. This trick makes a great everyday carry! New Sponge Ball Effects- How would you like to imbue your sponge balls with personalities that kids can relate to? A Brand New Ring-and-Rope Move and much, much more!
