Don't forget mine, Iain.
Kidding. Mine was fine but I can't deny that the guys you listed are all great. That's the problem with these lectures. There are so many good ones, it's hard to choose!

I hopped on the all-access pass early on, so I think I have every lecture. They've done about 80 so far and I would say there were only about 6 that I was underwhelmed with. And those 6 probably say more about the type of stuff I like than it does those performers. I don't have as much appreciation for people showing their "workers" from their restaurant performances as other people might. Variations on old effects aren't my thing, I don't care much about "quick reset" or pocket management. I perform in casual environments on my own schedule, so I don't have the same concerns as a pro or semi-pro. I like novel methods, new effects, clever techniques. I'm much more interested in something different, even if it's wildly impractical than another 4-ace trick.
With that in mind, I think my favorite lecture may have been Calen Morelli's. It's a great assortment of fleshed-out routines and some half-baked (well, 3/4s baked) ideas. Lots of different types of effects. Most are great for casual performances. (If you wear a hoodie frequently he has a great effect with the strings where they penetrate each other and float. One of the few effects I perform all the time.) The lecture was planned out, he explained things well, but it was still goofy and youthful and exciting. Other ones I really liked: Daniel Garcia, Greg Wilsons, Joshua Jay. |

Personally, I prefer:
1. Woody Aragon & Henry Evans for powerful card effects, despite their English. They also have proven FISM records too. 2. Marc Spelmann for Mentalism. He possesses such great charisma, and I learned a lot from his presentation. 3. Mark Mason, Joshua Jay's lectures have great close-up tricks too. |

For me as a Kidshow entertainer, I'd have to say the Dqnny Orleans and David Kaye (aka Silly Billy) lectures have been.the most informative and fun for me - as both combined clips from their show to illustrate their philosophy of entertaining children.
Another fascinating lecture was Franz Harary's as he talked in depth about the logistical problems faced when putting on a magic show at a 'mega' level! All in all, I'd have to say that the All Access pass is the best deal in magic so far - in terms of 'Bang for your Buck!' |

It hasn't happened yet, but I have a feeling David Williams' lecture this weekend will be my favorite.

For close up magic, Danny Archer's has to be one of the best of the 25 or so I have seen so far.
