Dameon, to most magicians, is a recently discovered prestidigitator, yet he is an accomplished entertainer specializing in manipulative magic. He creates visually captivating presentations working silently to the universal language of music. Dameon has performed for over 35 years and has appeared in numerous shows and revues around the globe.

Featured at the 2018 S.A.M. National Convention in Orlando as a stage performer, lecturer and card throwing

contest sponsor, and a recent recipient of the “Bill Baird/Neil Foster Award for excellence in manipulative magic at the 78th Abbott’s Magic Get Together, Dameon brings his unique, fast paced, fun-filled, interactive lecture to your group! He covers numerous topics in a lecture which has been designed to fit your club’s time schedule.

Plus, as you enter the lecture “space” you receive several free items to follow along and take home with you at the conclusion. This lecture invites you to participate. In addition. If you have time and the interest, he also offers a two-hour master class (with a maximum of 5 participants), or private sessions, The following day for those who would like personal attention/in-depth details on several of the lecture topics or your own routine, act, or show!

 Lecture Overview:

I’m going to show you a number of simple  basic  affects using cards thimbles rope, balls and doves - things that I actually do and use on-stage and in close-up situations. I’m going to take you through those - quickly - and if you get the lecture notes – in pdf format on the DVD you will also be able to watch short Quicktime clips of these effects/routines.

Now - if you see an effect or routine with the word  SECRET  next to it, or I say, “this is a SECRET”  I am going to ask that you … not talk about  this outside the lecture, or demo, or attempt to show a friend  - until after my performance (if I am …). And should you purchase a particular item I am selling and the lecture notes (on CD or DVD), I will ask that you do not show it, share it, practice in front of others, or demo any of the items, again, identified as “secrets” until after my performance.

You will get an inside look at these things … and I’d like to have those who do not come to the lecture experience the “magic” without prior knowledge.
