The Laptop Lecture

Rick Lax's breakthrough Laptop Lecture is jam-packed with 20 amazing close-up miracles. All are performed and explained in exquisite detail. Rick teaches original card magic, original coin magic ... but also original magic with neckties, matchboxes and Doritos bags.

Here's a message from Rick:

"I promise you this: If you buy the laptop lecture, you're going to walk away with at least one new trick that you'll actually perform I packed the Laptop Lecture with tricks for all skill levels:. Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. But even if you're an advanced magician, I'm betting you're going to like some of my easier tricks, because performing them will allow you to focus on your audience. "

For years, Rick has been showcasing mind-boggling magic on his personal YouTube channel. And he's only shared the secrets with his closest magic friends. But now, after years of carefully guarding these creations, he's ready to not only reveal their secrets, but teach them, so that you might perform them, too.

After the tricks and explanations are done ... the lecture does not stop! You'll get to watch two live performances by Rick, and you'll hear postgame analysis on what went right and what went wrong. You'll also get a look at some of the magic creations that inspires Rick.

But at the end of the day, the Laptop Lecture is not about inspiration It's not about theory and it's not about analysis It's about learning new magic tricks And Rick's got 20 of them ready to go...:
