Mick Wilson Academy 2 (Almost Everything So Far)

Mick Wilson - Almost everything, so far… 

This Academy class features 99% unreleased material, so unless you’ve seen Mick perform these effects, they’ll be new to you. It contains almost all of the things he has created, tweaked and twisted so far. From magic to mentalism, a little bit of theory (not too much) and a heavy dose of fun, Mick intends giving it all away in this Academy class. This includes a deck equivoque that is “The fairest and cleanest to date” as Steve Cook put it, a truly impossible ‘card across’ routine and a card control that has fooled a great many knowledgeable magicians and has received high praise from the magic community. Not forgetting a ‘pièce de résistance’ which Mick is keeping extremely tight lipped about, but we are assured, you will NOT be disappointed. 

Overall, the effects are created with a light-hearted approach in mind, not quite comedy magic but funny/dreadful enough to garner a giggle or at least a pleasant ‘Dad Joke’ moan from your audience. Mainly though, Mick’s aim is to share workable light-hearted effects that connect and resonate with the audience. You might use them, you might not, but even if you don’t, you’ll take the subtleties behind them and integrate them into your existing routines. 

You may forget Mick, the effects he performed and how he cured your insomnia, but you won’t forget how he made you feel! 

“I have been very fortunate to spend a great deal of time with and learned so much from, some of the greatest minds in magic. Harry Lucas, Chris Congreave, Phedon Bilek, Gary Jones, Steve Cook and many, many more. The biggest thanks go to Michael Murray, without whom, I wouldn't be the creator I am now. I have gained so much from magic, it's time to give some back” – Mick Wilson 

“A charming, relaxed and fun lecture, filled with commercial material, perfect for everybody from the hobbyist to the working pro. Connecting with the audience takes top priority when Mick constructs effects/routines, but the ‘bits of business’ that are hidden in plain sight, are a huge part of what makes his effects resonate with the audience.” - Harry Robson 

“Every time Mick shows me one of his creations, it’s not just magic or an effect, it’s an amazing experience.” - Paul Richardson
