It has certainly shown me the strength of this style of structured learning, a style I will carry on well after this course is over.’ –\u00a0Chris Jones<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ‘Been looking at the first video this morning and am excited to get the first Months techniques mastered and get my magic going now I have a study plan. You have no idea how long I’ve been searching for a training plan as I seem to get bewildered and waste my practice time when I’m left to my own devices.<\/em>‘\u00a0– Wayne Mason<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ‘<\/strong>Just what I have been looking for. I found it very confusing to know where to start learning sleights. I like the way the course has given me a timetable to learn the material. I’m working through each section slowly. Well done, Merchant of Magic<\/em>‘ – Tim Stanmore<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ‘Great idea guys. I already use an Elmsley count, but having so many ways to use it has made me start performing it again.<\/em>‘\u00a0– Mark Williams<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ‘I’ve spend to much money on magic tricks over the years, but just keep jumping from the next new trick to the next. This is a great way to stay focused, learn each effect correctly, and build a working magic act. Highly recommended<\/em>‘\u00a0– David Snatten<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ‘I am one of those few people who has been working through the videos one at a time, and I have been very impressed by how well this course has worked for me. For example, I thought I could do the Elmsley Count before month one, but by the end of it, I was amazed at how much my technique had improved.<\/em><\/p>\n The entire course has been very beneficial and has given me a template for learning sleights in the future. I will be recommending the course to all the magicians I know who would benefit from it.’\u00a0– Chris\u00a0 K<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sleight of Hand for Beginners.
