Dave Gemmell Lecture
Portsmouth & District Magic Circle
1st June 2009
Reviewed by Clint Barron
On Monday 1st June we were treated to and evening of Dave Gemmell's latest
material. Those who know Dave will know that this is an opportunity not to pass
up! His professional working experience and knowledge are something to grab a
hold of and squeeze as much juice out of as you can!
We were presented with a selection of workings and routines from his 2009
Lecture Book, as well as from his upcoming book "Pasteboard Adventures". This
latest work primarily focused on packet effects with regular playing cards. It
covered a selection of transposition and sandwich routines, amongst others. All
the effects require NO gaffs and are pure, easy to learn, KNOCKOUT routines
requiring minimal sleights, if any. Even those without a card interest are sure
to find a few things of use as there were a number of self working effects.
One thing that shines through in this lecture is that everything is structured
around routines that will work out there in the world.
His 2009 Lecture Book features a foreword from none other than Peter Duffie, a
credit to the quality of Magic enclosed and is currently being sold on
Lybrary.com for $20.00 (around £13.50) and can be found below:
