Lecture* by Jeff Hobson

Take a little Paul Lynde, some Frank Gorshin, a pinch of Charles Nelson Reilly, Red Skelton and Don Rickles, shake it up in a bottle and mix well and you'll end up with the recipe for Jeff Hobson's performance. . . . Hobson is a first class magician in his own right, although whose comedic timing  would have you believe he had spent a lifetime honing it. His mincing and manic stage persona is a whirlwind of fabulousness that simply cannot be contained or described without laughing!

A very special event at the LI MYSTICS! For the first time ever...The LIFESAVERS  Lecture!

Ring in the first meeting of the new year by learning  a few new impromptu effects you can do the next time you're unprepared to  perform and someone asks you to "Do a  trick..."

An idea that has been  in the works for over a year, thirteen Assembly members have submitted twenty  tricks that require no props, card, or gimmicks; tricks you can perform by  borrowing a pen, paper, a few coins, a
fork...whatever is handy.

At the  lecture, these members will perform and explain the effects, and go over the  subtleties that can turn a simple trick into a stunner. New twists on  dusty old classics...original and clever routines...tricks
that require little  or no practice for anyone with basic skills...

Something for  everyone!  Free admission for all!  & Free Lecture notes of all the effects!
