Want to dig deeper on what you'll get as a VIP Member this month? Let's break down the month of October to show you guys what you will be getting!
John Archer: John is a stand-up comedy magician from the UK. This guy was officially the FIRST person to fool Penn & Teller on the UK series: 'Penn & Teller - Fool Us'. (It's airing now in the US as well!) John has also appeared on award-winning CBBC network shows and even WRITES comedy for many other shows in the UK! Want to learn comedy and magic the RIGHT way? This lecture will focus on stand-up, close-up, - and easy, hard-hitting magic that will make you the life of any party!
Blank Night - John's famous comedy Bank Night routine that fooled Penn & Teller! This effect is very well thought out, very fun to perform and is VERY funny.
Pushing the Envelope - This is a single billet and one envelope. The Spectator writes down a thought on a billet which is folded and placed into a single envelope. You INSTANTLY know the written down thought. This is a classic plot but with John's added touches! One billet, one envelope. That's it!
Semi Open - This is as close to an open prediction as you can get! An envelope is placed on the table and a card id named or selected. The envelope is opened to show a clearly written prediction of the named card. John will also cover a variation where a duplicate of the named card is removed from the envelope. Clean and devious!
The Laura Buxton Co-incidence - A story that questions what coincidence really is. Two decks of cards - one red, one blue. Despite both decks being handled and examined by the spectator, the performer and spectator repeatedly shuffle the same card to the top. As a finale, it is seen that the final choice of one of these cards had been predicted from the start!
Komedy Killer - John's hilarious routine and variation of the Kenton Knepper classic. This is a full 10 minute routine that plays for both close-up and stage!
DeJa 2 - This is a killer stage effect where a couple from the audience are tested for their compatibility and found to be perfect for each other. A lady picks a card and her partner somehow manages to find it! This is an effect where it seems as if the magician is hardly involved!
Zennerdoo - This is a strong and clean 'psychic experiment'. A spectator repeatedly matches dealt cards on to the table with their matching symbols.
Streets - This is John's book test that really isn't a book test. It's more of a remote viewing experience. This will hopefully whet the tastebuds! John will also discuss his thoughts on comedy writing, creating routines and comedy performance! This is going to be a STRONG & RARE magic learning experience!
Joshua Jay: You all know the name! As a young lad, Joshua started dazzling the magic world with amazing effects, routines and theory! He has published numerous articles, DVDs and has authored a best-selling book! This lecture will include magic that has been in print before, plus all-new, never before seen material as well! There will be a diverse mix of magic for everyone!
Hitchcock - A card effect with both suspense and surprise. This effect has been heralded all over the world and is featured in Joshua's one man show, but has never been published in video DVD format.
Totally Triumph - A stunning version of Triumph with a nifty production move that you will want to add to your repertoire.
Back in Time - This effect has it all--the presentation, technique, and theme that will engage an audience and take them to a very unusual place.
Cornered Plus - A completely impromptu routine with a borrowed bill that has it all.
Prism Deck - Josh's signature color-changing deck routine. You have to see this live to believe it.
Phantom Deck - Not available anywhere except AT THE TABLE, this is a closer for ANY card routine in which you cause the entire deck to turn clear.
Inferno - This is Josh's newest effect, and it won "Trick of the Year." A named card appears in a matchbox. Here you will find all the latest work on this captivating routine.
Any Card, Any Number - This is a VERY original and surprising version of the classic effect. If you want to learn a trick that people remember forever, don't miss this.

His marketed effects, including High Spots, Six Pack and Rematch have received rave reviews from magicians all over the world. So take a look at what Caleb plans to bring to you:
Armchair Mind Reading - This simple effect has fooled some of the best card guys in the world. It looks like real mind reading!
Reswindled - This is a version of Re-set that even the Paul Harris says is THE best version EVER!
Crystal Cut - A versatile false cut and control that will surely become a part of your repertoire! So bye bye to the double undercut!
Clue - An easy to do effect where 'Clue cards' reveal the identity of the spectator's selection. But that is only the beginning! This uses an underutilized principle that most magicians have never seen before!
Make A Wish - A practical, birthday-themed card effect that is easy enough for the beginner but strong enough for the working pro.
Replicator - A topical presentation Hamman's Signed Card plot with a kicker ending that absolutely KILLS laymen!

He will also share with you his tips on how to book gigs, approaching a table or group of people, how to routine and much much more!
