Duane
Laflin's
"Magic That Pleases The Eye"
Duane
Laflin is a versatile performer. No matter what kind of magic
you are interested in, you will learn something from his lecture!
Silk effects - platform magic - - ideas for close up - kid
show tricks - routines for banquet shows, and more!
Performances
in fifteen countries and forty-seven of the USA states testify
to the appeal of Duane's Magic. He is a full time professional
magician who is well known for his classy style, sleight of
hand techniques, and magically creative thinking.
-
Renowned for his silk magic, having produced four full length
DVD's, six full length videos, and several sets of lecture
notes on the subject.
-
An expert in the field of kid-show magic. H holds the record
for having lectured fifteen times for the annual KIDabra convention
in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. This was fifteen different and
unique lectures about doing magic for children!
-
Has performed for the FFFF convention, and has performed in
the close-up shows of many major magic conventions.
-
Served four years as the international president of the Fellowship
Of Christian Magicians. His book, Greater Gospel Magic, is
considered to be the encyclopaedia and handbook for modern
gospel magicians.
-
His work as an emcee has been termed "legendary".
Magic conventions around the world use him in this role. His
jokes, sight gags, and comedy lists are original, unusual,
and most of all
entertaining.
-
Respected for his showmanship. When doing big illusions and
large stage effects, his stage presence is considered "tops".
Len Vinus, one of the founders of the International Brotherhood
of Magicians, wrote that Duane is "one of the finest
showmen in magic".
