Personal Guidance
What is often missing in the sharing process is a rite of passage, moving experiences that give us our foundation of who we are. These emotionally charged life-changing transitions are affirmations that solidify our humanity and our core. When we acquire knowledge and wisdom, the change could be significant. A sense of dignity comes to us when we put forth great effort to earn something. Anyone who has struggled to reach something extraordinary knows this. Learning can be profound. Personal guidance may help make the difference, hence the workshops.
Attend a workshop via Zoom or go to Las Vegas to study with Armando.
Tailored To You
Each Master Course offers insights into whatever you want or need regarding all things magic. It could be a specific plot, a sleight, the thinking behind the magic, how to put a routine or even an entire show together, or learning about choreography and performance, theory, and composition. The sleight of hand is incredibly interesting in its beauty of execution, subtleties, and many variations. However, the study of psychological delivery often trumps the brute force techniques alone, but they are so powerful when done together. You may study all things cards, coins, or both, with everything tailored to you.
Master Courses
Metal Quirks
Metal Quirks is a coins-across routine using two silver and one odd coin. It opens by vanishing a coin from the spectator’s hand. Then, perform phase one with three iterations—interlude with a coin appearing in the person’s hand—and complete step two with three variations. Finally, present a 1 to 2 and 2 to 1 coin transposition between your and the spectator’s hands.
MQ via Zoom is five sessions of 60 minutes each, once per week or every two weeks until completion — with just you and Armando. It is the most reasonably priced and has no NDA. Suggested hours are 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Las Vegas time. See Dateful Time Zone Converter.
