The Magic Circle

In this lecture on close-up magic, Josh will cover some of his work using phones, bank notes, and more, along with some brand new, never-before-seen pieces. Additionally, Josh will peel back the curtain on the tools he uses to create the gaffs and gimmicks that have become his signature visual style. You’ll walk away learning magic that is both visual and highly practical.

“Josh thinks outside of the warehouse where they make all the boxes. His patience in pursuing paths that most would give up on is something that we magicians can all benefit from.” – Garrett Thomas

Howard Hamburg had been an underground card man and it was his friend of 43 years, Johnny Thompson, who suggested he should share his experiences and relationships with the greats of magic (who became his close friends) such as Dai Vernon, Charlie Miller, Michael Skinner, Jimmy Grippo, Frances Carlyle, Tony Giorgio and numerous others — and interspersed throughout the stories he would perform effects with explanations, as well as share some of his techniques and general thoughts relating to magic.

“I have lectured in over 20 countries and every lecture I have presented, attendees have mentioned that for a brief moment, they felt they were sitting with The Professor and myself at the Vernon table at the Magic Castle. I am always very touched when this is expressed to me.”

Come join the living legend, Howard Hamburg AIMC with a Silver Star, as he astonishes the fellow members of The Magic Circle on Zoom on 29th March 2021.
