“An Alien of Extraordinary Ability” - USA Homeland security
Over the last 25 years Keith Fields has worked in just about every conceivable performance situation and his lecture
reflects his vast experience; Stand up, street magic, close-up, kids, cruises, theatres, shows for the troops, trade
shows... the list goes on!
During the lecture Keith demonstrates and explains elements from his award winning street show (the material
that won him the accolade of International Street Entertainer of the Year), his close up and strolling material (with
which he won the Magic Circle Close-up championship) and some of the amazing magic he has invented (including
‘Insight’ the ground breaking book test).
Keith is an excellent and very funny performer who has worked all over the world including many TV appearances in
the UK and Europe. He guarantees that you will have an entertaining, educational and magical evening! The Lecture
received rave reviews at the Magic Circle before he left London; he is now in the USA for a limited time and is
available to lecture at your magic club.
Rather than tell you about the lecture ourselves we are going to let others do it...
“I saw Keith's winning performance in the Magic Circle Close-up Competition. This being my first experience of his work I marked
him down as a comedian who did tricks. How wrong I was. His lecture revealed a real natural talent and a well experienced
magical brain. Here was a man who could instantly connect with the audience. His style and magic confirm why he is one of
Britain’s busiest magicians covering a whole spectrum of magic. He possesses the one ingredient that eludes many aspiring close
up performers. He knows how to blend humour and good magic in square proportions to create that vital ingredient -
entertainment. The Magic Circle members showed their appreciation of the value of the excellent magic that he freely
demonstrated.” – The Magic Circular - The official magazine of the Magic Circle
‘”A fantastic lecture. My friends and I laughed so hard at so many things. A solid lecture from a solid
performer with loads of magic that is both strong and funny. If you are booking any lectures this year
book this one.” – Bob Sheets, Washington, DC
“Keith Fields is not just a fellow Brit but one of the funniest and most original magicians I've
seen. If you miss his lecture you'll definitely be missing a great experience. Go and you'll learn
magic that is not just fooling but fabulous fun as well!” – Simon Lovell, New York
Will Houstoun is one of the real up and coming young talents
from the U.K. He burst onto the magic scene by taking third place
in The International Magic Close-Up Competition, then went on
to confirm his standing by taking first prize in the European
Magic Championships and winning the Magic Circle’s originality
award.
Will has performed around Europe and America, including
the prestigious FFFF convention, and has lectured at a number of
conventions and magic venues including The Magic Circle (UK),
The Magic Castle(US), The Las Vegas Magic Invitational(US),
The International Puzzle Party (Prague), The International Magic
Convention (UK) and the Los Angeles Conference on Magic
History (US).
He has a keen interest in Magic History and has
written and published two books on historical magic. The
Notebook is based on a handwritten document from the 18th
century and describes 81 tricks that were in use at the time
providing a unique insight on the development of card magic. Hellis in Wonderland describes the magic of
Professor Hellis who taught Professor Hoffmann and who David Devant said was one of the finest conjurers he
had seen. This book is based on a hand written document describing the magic Hellis used to teach when he gave
magic lessons and provides unique information on magic in the late 19th century.
Will’s Brand New Lecture: Out with the New, In with the Old.
In magic we are sitting on the cutting edge of a tradition that covers over five hundred years of written instruction.
Despite this there is a tendency to focus on the “latest and greatest” within the magic community. In this brand
new lecture Will looks backwards to previously unpublished material from the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries for inspiration to create effects that are as powerful today as any modern creation.
The material, that will all be fully explained, includes magic with cards, coins and other objects and is suitable for
both close up and parlor performance. Some of the material is taken directly from Will’s books based on
previously unpublished eighteenth and nineteenth century notebooks and some is inspired by theses notebooks.
Will will also teach a few modern creations including some of the material he used as a Headline Performer at
The Magic Castle.
Here’s What They Are Saying:
"I booked Will on his first US lecture tour and also at the
LVMI close-up convention and I was blown away with all
the great comments I received from clubs all over
America. Will is a thoughtful, talented and accomplished
magician and you will definitely benefit from seeing his
lecture." - Danny Archer (LVMI organizer)
“I thought the guy was a freak of nature, turns out he is
just really good at what he does.” - Stephen Bargatze
