Bill Abbott is a full time professional who will teach you some of his mixing and blending/cocktail magic style processes in this over 2.5 hour assortment of talks. These are some of the processes he uses to make a living. Each effect is straightforward, commercially viable and, most importantly, easy to implement. Bill also has some valuable advice for you. If you want to start going out and performing magic in public, then these are the effects for you.

You are surrounded by people who seem to know each other. They are talking, laughing, engrossed in conversation and busy eating and drinking. On the other hand, you have been hired to 'entertain' these busy people with your magic, and at that moment you wish you were somewhere else. One thing is to prevent you from disappearing from the party.

You are being paid to be there.

Walking magic, strolling magic, roaming magic, mixing magic, cocktail magic and so on. It goes by many names, but it all boils down to the same thing, spoiling otherwise meaningful conversations and expensive food and alcohol for people to play beautifully with your magic.

In Bill Abbott's Alakazam Magic Academy cocktail magic workshop, he will demonstrate the exact effects he uses to break the ice and entertain in a cocktail hour venue. This will include his verbal approach to each group of guests, how to win their support and assemble techniques to suit this sometimes challenging environment.

These include:

Sponge Cocktail Napkins (sponge cocktail napkins)

Ring to Wallet

The Autograph (autographed transfer effect)

The Heart Photo (the ultimate business card to give away)

CTRL ALT DELETE (Omni Deck process)

Ultra Mental Mingling (cocktail style invisible card process)
