His lecture, “Close-Up That Paid Off My Mortgage”, is John giving back to the magic community. You’ll see and learn routines he still uses today, refined over three decades of real-world performing.

🗣️ “The advice and tips on getting work are pure gold for the professional.”
🗣️ “A true professional at work… This is a lecture not to be missed.”
