The best Tarbell thus far Report this review Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 12th, 2015 I'm not sure if it fits the textbook definition of "irony," but my favorite Tarbell lesson thus far was this one, which contains absolutely no tricks. It's just two masters, (Michael Ammar joins Dan for this webisode) shooting the breeze about how to please an audience, loosely based on the Tarbell chapter.



I can judge the value of a lesson by how much new info I hear and find worthy of writing down. I took twice the number of notes on this one, compared to any other Tarbell lesson.



There is one nugget, in particular, that concerns how you frame your act to potential bookers. If you describe your act as suggested and the booker agrees to the price, there is something you can do to possibly boost the price. But if the booker balks at the price, there is something you can do to reduce the price without making it look like you are cheaping out and undercutting your value with other clients.



I found the aforementioned nugget well-worth the sticker price, with the rest being gravy. 4 of 4 magicians found this helpful. Do you want to Did this review help you?Do you want to respond to this review? 4 of 4 magicians found this helpful.

The perfect start to a new year! Report this review Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 9th, 2015 I'm so glad you put this out when you did.

I was writing goals for my new year performing magic. One goal I wrote was to increase the caliber of my shows and to get standing ovations.

I couldn't have imagined better instruction then what was discussed in Tarbell 20 How to please your audience.

Thank you guys for the great discussion.

Maybe not for the hobbyists, but for the workers out there this is gold. I will re watch this a few times for sure. It's not just the content that was great but all the ideas it created in my mind.

Happy New Year!!! 3 of 3 magicians found this helpful. Do you want to Did this review help you?Do you want to respond to this review? 3 of 3 magicians found this helpful.

Presentation and Marketing Gold Report this review Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 9th, 2015 We purchase DVDs to learn a trick, but the presentation details and bits of business are oftentimes the overlooked silver lining of the purchase. This DVD is full of the thoughts of two successful professionals, who have researched the field during their careers, tested the prevailing theories, and broke new ground with their art. We are flies on the wall listening to two consummate professionals exchanging the silver linings of their art and as businessmen. Excellent in presentation, format and content. 3 of 3 magicians found this helpful.

Solid advice Report this review Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 7th, 2020 There was very good advice here, even for use outside of magic. I would have given it 5 stars, except one hears a lot of the same advice if you're around awhile in magic.



It does, however, still warrant a 4 star review as both Dan Harlan and Michael Ammar are great, great teachers. And there are the occasional new insights that they provide. Do you want to Did this review help you?Do you want to respond to this review?

Great Resource Report this review Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 7th, 2019 The Thumbtie is a great piece of magic that can be done serious, funny and anything in between. People have kind of forgotten about this plot but it's just a great performance piece that plays HUGE and Dan really goes out of his way to show you as much as you would need to know to get performing on this right away. Great work on this one! Do you want to Did this review help you?Do you want to respond to this review?
