Adam’s Lecture Will Focus On Strolling Magic!
Highly visual magic, that’s easy to perform under almost any condition!
– Powerful repeatable openers
– Where to look for gigs
– How to approach groups that will be fun, inviting, and original.
– Get booked again and again
– Know your worth!
– Get yourself away from needing a table
– How to step up your game like never before tricks of the trade from a lifelong performer, who always puts the spectators first.

Learn visual power magic:
Instant oil and water- The only oil and water you’ll ever need. No table, no set up, all sleights. Instantly repeatable.
Hollingsworth Change- Adam’s take and routine on this extremely visual four of a kind card change.
50 Under Box– This very visual and simple effect will blow your audience away. They won’t see the ending coming!
Rubber bandit– This highly visual routine with one rubber band and a deck of cards is a real crowd pleaser. Watch a rubber band vanish from the entire deck and reappear visually around a chosen card. Without forcing anything or having any gimmick!
Pound it- The perfect follow up to Rubber Bandit, have the spectator locate their card hands free while the deck is wrapped up with a rubber band.
B.A.M.F Basic– A device that will allow you to vanish any small object without any modification or sleeves! You can even transform one small object into another seamlessly, and end clean. Includes original effects: Billed, Flight Time, and Morph. These effects will keep your audience talking about your performance long after you leave.
Rubber Band effects!
Adam will share his knowledge and expert handling on visual rubber band effects that your audience will have rarely seen and adore.
Bonus Effect: It’s A Set Up!- A hard to find method where the spectators are the stars and do the impossible with a fool proof method.

Join us for an incredible lecture from Tony Clark!
Tony Clark is a world-renowned magician, producer, and consultant with over 30 years of experience captivating audiences around the globe.

In this special lecture, Tony opens the vault on his years of firsthand experience with Slydini. You’ll watch as he performs and breaks down elegant effects and powerful routines, all while emphasizing the essential principles of timing, misdirection, and off-beat moments that defined Slydini’s genius.
Whether you perform close-up, stand-up, or on stage, Tony’s insights, techniques, and real-world wisdom will give you tools you can use immediately. This is more than a lecture—it’s a rare opportunity to learn timeless magic from someone who lived it.

John Bannon Lecture!
2026-02-19 19:00 - 22:00 | Holy Virgin Mary Russian Orthodox Cathedral, 650 Micheltorena Street, Los Angeles, CA, 90026, United States
Join us for an incredible lecture from John Bannon!
A true legend of modern card magic, John Bannon is famous for his “lean and mean” philosophy—devastatingly strong effects that rely on brilliant construction rather than knuckle-busting sleight of hand. Much of his magic is self-working, but it hits hard.
John exploded onto the scene in the early ’90s with the groundbreaking books Impossibilia and Smoke & Mirrors, followed by the iconic trick Twisted Sisters. His book Dear Mr. Fantasy is widely regarded as one of the finest magic books of its decade, and later collections like High Caliber, Destination Zero, and Mentalissimo quickly sold out to rave reviews.
His video projects—including Bullets After Dark, Bullet Party, Fire When Ready, Fractalicious, Sizzle, and the landmark Move Zero series—redefined what self-working card magic could be. For eight years, his Genii column “Dealing With It” showcased his signature blend of clarity, elegance, and killer impact.
His 2023 release Very Hush-Hush sold out in weeks and is now in its third printing—proof that his thinking is sharper than ever.
John has lectured worldwide, and if you perform card magic, chances are you already do at least one of his tricks. After fifty years of “messing around” with playing cards, he still has new ideas—and you’ll almost certainly walk away adding something to your repertoire.
Smart. Direct. Powerful. Don’t miss this one. 🂡

🎩 Step Into the Strange… If You Dare.

The IBM Ring 21 in Hollywood invites you to a night unlike anything we’ve done before — a Bizarre Magic Night where the rules are broken, reality bends, and the impossible gets… unsettling.

This isn’t your typical card trick and applause kind of evening. This is magic at its weirdest, wildest, and most mysterious. Think eerie storytelling, haunting illusions, strange objects, and performances that blur the line between magic and the supernatural.

Our performers will take you on a journey into the unknown — where things may not make sense… and that’s exactly the point.

Whether you love the theatrical, the mysterious, or just want to see something completely different — this is a show you don’t want to miss.

One night. One room. Endless weirdness.

Come curious. Leave questioning everything.
