“Al Lampkin’s lecture is the perfect lecture for magic clubs and amateur magicians in general because he teaches practical magic that the average amateur can and will use. At the same time, magicians who either do, or want to, perform for the public will benefit from his lecture as well.

“They may learn a trick they can use, but of more importance are the tips and techniques he shares based on Al's 40+ years of solid experience working every kind of venue from magic bars, school shows to the Magic Castle.

“Al's strong point is misdirection. This skill enables him to add the mystery of magic to comic entertainment. You need to be careful watching Al Lampkin's magic lecture - you may get so caught up in the entertainment that you forget to take notes. Don't worry, Al sells a nice set of lecture notes!”

David Goodsell
Past National President, The Society of American Magicians

“What a Great Lecture we had with Al Lampkin at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA. He was funny and his teaching of his routines was easy to understand and fun to do. Looking forward to the next time he can come back. A definite candidate for Lecture of the year.”

David Knackstedt
Lecture Director, the Magic Castle.

“Just a note to say how much I enjoyed your lecture tonight. You are truly a seasond pro with many great ideas to help others gain higher ground in their performance careers. Thanks for the card trick. I really like it a lot! You are a very clever guy. I also really liked your handling for the invisible pack....... finally something that makes total sense. I do want to go ahead with plans to have you present your lecture to our club in January. Will talk soon. Thanks again, Al..... You are the best!”

Kerry Summers
President, Orem SAM

“The club was fortunate to have Mr. Al Lampkin, from Salt Lake City, Utah, a seasoned magician and lecturer, for the evening. Al kept the group attentive and in “awe” as he performed his well-rehearsed routines with professional skill and a most enjoyable comical attitude. He was able to share his secrets of magic and make the evening very enriched and entertaining.”

“Ring members were treated to a down-to-earth lecture by Al Lampkin on May 2. Al showed us several easy-to-do routines that we can easily practice and perform. He began with a torn and restored napkin and dollar bill effect. He showed us Ring on Stick, Cards Across, a rope routine, and several of his common moves during his show. Al explained presentation and magic patter that help enhance the magician's showmanship..... Al shared a mind-blowing card find in which he never saw the selected card until it appeared in front of his glasses..... Thanks Al for bringing a little of the professional world of magic to our meeting.”

“My son Brandon was able to open for Jeff McBride this last Saturday and part of his routine was your prediction cards (Infallible) that we got at your lecture. After the show we were invited to a private dinner with Jeff and he was extremely impressed with your prediction trick. I wanted to thank you for this wonderful trick. It was a big hit. Thanks again!”

Chris Chapman

“Your show was just fantastic. I learned so much from watching a pro in action. How you handled the audience, what you did when something didn't go as planned, your humor, your stage presence, your music, your graciousness to the magicians in the audience, etc. I could go on and on, but truly, your show is the kind of show I like to see. Great magic that oozes with great entertainment. You are truly a seasoned pro! I can't wait to see you perform again sometime.”

Kerry Summers
