The Paul Gordon Close-up Magic Lecture has travelled the world. In fact, I have visited (and lectured in) America seven times since 1994; the first being at Tannen’s Jubilee in New York. And most recently (2008) at FFFF (Fechter’s Finger Flicking Frolics) in New York. In The UK, I have lectured for over 90 different clubs since 1994 (including four times at The Magic Circle in London); some over 10 times each. Plus my lectures in France, Monaco (Stars of Magic), Ireland, Denmark,  Italy, Sweden, Spain, France & Germany. Every lecture review has been (kindly) a very positive one! Please watch my  promo video at the foot of the page to see how I entertain laymen. This is the material that  I lecture on. As you can see, it’s all worker material; strong, magical, practical & entertaining!

The lecture is entertaining (fun & light-hearted) and full of 'doable' usable (but strong) magic from my books, dvds and professional repertoire. If you think that card magic is awe-inspiring or, dare we say it, dull – I hope you will be pleasantly surprised by my enthusiastic and energetic approach. I teach a lot of magic – and more: Sleights, Tricks, Tips, Thoughts, Stories, Patter, Presentation, Angles, Stance etc., etc...and lots of laughs! It’s a fast-paced lecture; and I endeavour to teach (and inspire) the audience as fully as possible.

A few more Lecture Reviews...

• Your depth of experience and passion for the art came shining through, and I like where you pitch your work for lecture audiences - not ultra-advanced and finger-flingy, but not so simple as to be trite. It's all smart and practical, and you present it all brilliantly.” - Ian Rowland (LSM)

• “It is rare to see a magician who can entertain an audience that much with just a deck of cards. But Paul Gordon is one of them! His shows are as funny as the magic he performs is strong. Paul perfectly knows what the spectators enjoy and deliver it to them with great humour and killer effects.” - Boris Wild

• "Fantastic lecture and the very first in the new headquarters! Paul Gordon knows how to entertain!" - Alan Blythe, The Magic Circle

• "Well done, Paul. Great style - great lecture! Full of energy, enthusiasm and very strong effects!" - Mike Gancia - British Magical Society

• "Excellent lecture; very well constructed!" - Tony Griffith, Weston Wizards

• "A wonderful, wonderful lecture; great card magic!" - Mike Alderman, Essex Magicians

• “Paul will never bore you. Good looking, well groomed and attired, with personality plus entertainment. His lecture was a lesson in how to entertain every kind of audience with cards.” - Elizabeth Warlock - BMS

I perform and teach (in my fun & informal way) magic from my books & dvds. The lecture is fun and informative, but not 'heavy.'  Most of my magic is attainable by the “average” club member. It’s not all knuckle-busting but it is powerful. The ‘club’ lecture costs £150 plus travel (and possible accommodation) expenses.  For magic conventions (to undertake lectures , shows, workshops etc), my fee starts at £500.
