Danny Archer - Monday 12th May

Archer “On-Target” Lecture 7:30 pm

$30.00 or $25.00 for WASM Members

Danny Archer last came to Perth more than 8 years ago. His magic is useable, commercial and nearly perfect in every way. This lecture is a true lecture, not a dealer demonstration; all the effects are fully explained with no need to buy any special props. The last time Danny was here, over 50 magicians walked away very, very happy.

His lecture is filled with solid, audience tested effects that can be learned and performed by anyone.  You will see and learn original magic with cards, coins, bills, photographs, business cards and more.  There are close-up, parlor & stage effects - there is sleight of hand, self-working, mentalism and comedy magic - something for everyone!  Just a few of the lecture items are listed below. Danny will also have a rich supply of items he manufactures or produces. He’s created enough to fill a magic shop all by himself. You won’t want to miss this fantastic lecture by one of magic’s most prolific creators.

The Archer On-Target Lecture – Just a Taste!

Handy Business - when asked for your business card, this is a magical way to produce them.

Small Talk - using a magic wand, three coins are produced and vanish.

Trick Photography II - A photograph with a picture is shown.  After performing the card trick written on the back, the card has vanished from the deck and appears in the photo.

Big Bill - A version of Bank Night that is both funny and baffling.

DSP - The performer mails a box in advance, which contains a digital recorder which correctly predicts the results of a sporting event.

Pick a Coin - A stand-up coin routine that can be performed for a single person or an audience of hundreds.

Triple Thoughts - Three spectators pick cards from a shuffled deck and they are revealed in a memorable manner.

Dexter the incredible card finding dog! - A wind-up pooch saves the day by finding the selected card in a funny yet magical manner.

Star Search - The performer makes two predictions before showing his autographed collection of movie stars.  Both predictions are wrong but then a unique twist proves them right.

Twin Peeks - Two devastating peeks that are both natural and allow you to do miracles with a deck of cards!

The lecture will be held at the usual place, the Hyde Park Hotel – 331 Bulwer Street, North Perth. Be there!
