what an absolute lovely academy that was great easy tricks very well executed and well explained such a lovely manner from Martin really enjoyed this one

Great lecture, easy to do magic. Reminds me of when you first start out and learn some simple stuff and then as you get better you use more sleight of hand and technical stuff and kind of forget how powerful simple stuff can be. However the truth is this stuff is easy and floors laypeople. Using some simple gaffs like a double backer/face Martin has some great tricks on here. My faves were the card to wallet (with a great gag too) and his super easy brainwave. Really recommend this one! Only thing that would be nice is for the human calculator effect would be good to a have a separate PDF with the numbers on to make it easier to make up.

It deserves more than 5 stars!! Awesome Academy, I learnt sooo much from it. I literally now have a new, brilliant and highly entertaining close up set. Well done Martin and of course Alakazam.

Strong stuff all around. I will be adapting like 90% of this stuff into what I already do. If you hands are getting old like mine and you want powerful pieces that require zero sleights then this is the one to look into.

Great magic ease to do the best Academy so far

Great academy. Simple effective magic. Highly recommended. BP Brainwave is one of my favourites, which I will use.

Martin has picked such a wonderful selection of effects, they are so convincing but yet simple to perform with little practice! It's a great academy for both beginners and experienced mentalists, and also - it's very easy to get your hands on the objects you need to perform the effects.

My first academy and I will certainly be coming back for more. Martin was excellent - really clever, entertaining, funny and explained the tricks really well. Thank you Martin and Alakazam Magic, top work :)

Lots of easy to do strong stuff. Good value. Some simple arts and crafts and “certain” decks needed thoug.

Loved the Academy tonight. Really practical effects and martin's easy teaching style means you can take the effects and perform straight away. I'm can already see how I would use Paranormal and Great Banana Trick. :) Thanks Martin and Alakazam.

Our club did a demo of Ace Magic and their effects are great. So damn practical and at least in the US, most are new to us. This academy was really fun and really useable.

What a great Academy! Martin is very high energy and all of his effects are fun, simple to do, and truly entertaining, just as the title suggests! Every one of the effects is a worker that could be added to anyone's set today! Some of my favorites include Paranormal with ESP cards, The Great Banana Trick with an actual banana, and a fabulous way to hand out your signed business card. Highly recommend!

Brilliant. Couldn't still until the end and left before the break. Still already got my money's worht and will be looking forward for the download. 5-4-3-2-1 is my favorite so far!

Very practical magic. The epitome of “Packs Small Plays Big!” Good stuff you WILL use!
