Lectures
Clayton has several informative
and entertaining lectures available to the magic fraternity.
It’s
Not What You Do … “: The
world of magic can be divided into two groups, those who do magic for magicians
and those who do magic for non-magicians.
"IT'S NOT WHAT YOU DO..." definitely falls into the latter
category. The magic in this lecture is
designed to entertain 'non-magicians.'
(Although I consider the routining, handling,
adaptation, embellishment, patter and/or application to be original, the basic
effects may or may not be original.
Wherever possible I have attempted to acknowledge the inventor of an
effect, but many times effects have been "re-invented" making it all
but impossible to identify the originator.)
These are not just ideas--they are all audience
tested and are standards in my shows.
“Entertaining
Children” is a very entertaining and detailed one-hour lecture discussing the
subtleties and nuances of entertaining small or large groups of children that
Clayton has learned from his many years of experience as “Officer Charlie, the
MagiCop”.
Information
on the Warm-Up, Placement of Tricks, Controlling the Audience, Speech Patterns,
Timing, Word Usage and 10 Rules
for
Entertaining Children are just some of the areas covered in this lecture.
Featured
in the book, “The Birthday Party Business”, the author writes,
“… Buck is a master showman and
always has kids in the palm of his hand.”
(Lecture
notes are available, however, audio recording is permitted)
“Music and Magic”: a 2-hour lecture
on selecting music to enhance your magical performance by understanding the
dramatics and dynamics of music. No,
you do not have to be a musical scholar to gain from this lecture. All you need is your ears and a desire to
learn.
(No lecture notes available audio recording
is not only permitted, but also encouraged.)
In addition, Clayton also has mini-lectures on
“Stage Choreography” and “Entertaining With Balloons”.
Clayton was encouraged by Larry West and Dr.
Chang to publish his routine on the Linking Rings.
“Three Ring Deception”
is available through selected dealers or
directly from Clayton.
