Masterclass by John Lovick (75.00)

You are in for a real treat this October as we welcome magician, writer, and director John Lovick for a jam-packed Masterclass that will offer something for magicians of all skill levels.

John Lovick is one of the most respected magic minds in the world. As a performer, his alter ego Handsome Jack has earned him numerous awards including being named “Parlor Magician of the Year” by the Magic Castle and fooling Penn & Teller. His directing prowess was also most recently on display with Asi Wind's award-winning off-Broadway show, "Inner Circle".

As a writer, John has authored and co-authored a variety of the most popular magic books in the world including the seminal SWITCH: Unfolding the $100 Bill Change and Asi Wind’s Repertoire, as well as some Vanishing Inc. bestsellers like Experience: The Magic of Jon Allen and Allan Ackerman: All In. He even wrote an acclaimed book filled with his original material called Handsome Jack, etc.—which featured the standout effect “Reparation”, one of the most influential Torn and Restored Cards ever made.

Put simply, John Lovick lives and breathes magic. He’s the type of magician, if you have the opportunity to learn from, you simply must take advantage of it. With the “John Lovick Masterclass”, you’ll get three different sessions filled with best material. Not only does this include a variety of amazing magic tricks but, since John is also an adjunct professor at the USC School of Dramatic Arts, you’ll get invaluable advice on how to create better overall magic theater.

The "John Lovick Masterclass" features 4+ hours of teaching across two-full length lectures. You’ll even get to see John in action with the included performance footage. Then, in the final week, there will be a special new format Q&A session where John will answer the questions you submit during the month. As the majority of people watch these Q&A sessions after the event, pre-submitting questions will make sure everyone with a question can have it answered!

How to Watch

You can get all 4+ hours of world-class content for one low price. Or, you can save even more money by subscribing to Vanishing Inc. Masterclass and getting the “John Lovick Masterclass” along with streaming access to 250+ hours of additional Masterclass content for less than the cost of this Masterclass on its own.

Exceptional. So much to think about just beyond the tricks in terms of persona and scripting. Thanks John for such a wonderful lecture.

Really good stuff! I can (and will) use some of these routines, but some don't fit my persona (not at all a problem -- to be expected). Getting even one good routine, or idea, usually is well "worth the price of admission." I have only one negative comment, and that is from almost at the very end of the video, where Mr Lovick says what he would say if someone comments about a blatant open force he has made. I find that quite disrespectful to the spectator; there are many other non-confrontive ways to address the issue. But all in all -- fist class stuff!

Top 5 Masterclass lecture so far. Great mix of theory and trick combined with down to earth character. Personally I would have loved to be taught his tnr newspaper but you cannot have everything.

I’ve been a “Handsome Jack” fan since seeing John perform at the Castle many years ago. Just finished the first week of the Masterclass… this is gold!

Very good class! John taught us 5 tricks. He is honest about his strong points and weak points. It's encouraging that although he started in magic relatively late, and doesn't have top sleight of hand skills, he's been as successful as he has. There is hope for us! John's teaching is clear, including down to the fine points and subtleties. 1 or 2 of the tricks I may use, but the others I still learned from.

Fantastic!
I've just watched week one and already, this is one of my favourite, if not the favourite, masterclass yet. John comes across as a simple down to earth guy and is immediately likeable, yet he presents professional level, entertaining, smart, commercial, and very doable material. Everything in this class is great, high quality stand up material and, because of how well thought out it is, easy to do.
Very impressive offering, I can't wait for week two.

  • Cory asks: So what is being taught exactly? Why no update?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: We are working on the syllabus but you can expect many of the routines from the Handsome Jack Etc. book to be taught as well as a bunch of theory of the performance of magic.
  • Gary asks: Any chance he can include "I'm Not Left Handed"? in this one? I think it's from a set of his lecture notes from way back. Always loved the premise and would appreciate any improvements on the handling!

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: Hey, If this isn’t taught in the 2 masterclasses this may be something you can mention in the Q&A
