William Rader

I've watched a few when I could. While they are enjoyable, they seem to be just glorified (and sometimes rehashed) well attended podcasts. I like the podcasts a lot, but I don't personally see the value in paying for these interviews like I did the Magic Summit. I like William and his well attended products. This one is just a bit of miss for me.

One of the things the original summit had going for it was it had some pretty heavy hitters like Rick Thomas, Reza, Josh Knotts, Tim Clothier, Brad Ross and DaVinci himself all have / Work in very legit large scale illusion shows. This mixed in with smaller performers gave some added value in my opinion. that's me and my personal interests though.

Listened to several of the speakers: felt like long podcasts with very little useable material.
I prefer printed materials

Anyone else care to share their thoughts on this?

After EMC these half-pie things just seem amateur and old hat. David Davinci’s one was a flop as well. You guys running them trying to make money out of magicians should just stick to doing your shows etc. If you’re doing half as well as you claim to be then you wouldn’t even bother running these sort of things. That Brad Ross Guy is the same. All image and talk and bravado. It’s selling success to people who think success can be purchased.

What's EMC?

Essential Magic Conference - http://essentialmagiccollection.com/# Here is the related collection.

I definitely think there is a market for what Davinci and Well Attended are trying to do. I just don't think they have cracked the code for providing exactly what the market is looking for. For me personally, Davinci's event was closer than Well Attended. But really what you need is real pros answering the REAL questions. Does Rick Thomas want to openly discuss the deals he has had in Vegas and Brnason? Probably not. But that is where the real value would come in for me. If someone coudl get Steve Cohen or Dennis Watkins to talk real numbers about the hotel shows, what marketing has worked and not worked for them etc. THAT is where I would be willing to pay big $$$. Again.. there is a reason these guys wouldn't want to disclose this info, Davinci managed to get a few people like Bill Gladwell and Josh Knotts, and Gary Carson to talk about some real numbers and marketing info, but many of the performers he interviewed like Finney just wanted to brag about the celeb's they've worked with.
