Diamond
Jim Tyler lectured in Sydney on Thursday to a full house
at Taylor's Magic Shop and I just wanted to take a moment
to encourage my friends across the Tasman to attend his
lectures in Auckland, Palmerston North and Christchurch
this coming week.
This is the first time I have met Diamond Jim Tyler but
he truly is a really nice guy with a genuine passion for
people and for magic.
Rarely
have I seen so much useable and commercial material in one
evening. Jim had us laughing and amazed from the very
first effect (something with a Red Bull which I'd expect
will ensure an increase in sales of that soft drink!).
Some
20 or so effects were shown and it was obvious throughout
that Jim is a 'worker' and thinks deeply about how to
make his magic straightforward, entertaining and easy to
follow. His tips and bits with the ring and string were
clearly the result of thousands of performances. He has
a pleasing and engaging style and is not 'in your face'
like some of today's hyped up, over enthusiastic close-up
workers. (Some of whom would do better to do tricks with
Red Bull rather than drink it).
A
sure sign of a good evening is an empty dealer table and
Jim's very reasonably priced books, DVDs and tricks were
all gone by the end of the night. He has extra stocks to
collect en route so you guys don't miss out in NZ.
Diamonds
shine and are rare and valuable. An evening with this much
shine and this much value is a rare thing too. Get along
- you won't regret it. Sean Taylor
