“As seen on SyFy Channel’s ‘Wizard Wars’ as one of the Wizards”
Back by popular demand, Gregory Wilson comes back to San Francisco with his NEW LECTURE & WORKSHOP, “Things I Carry & Use.” For nearly 2 decades, he has been teaching his unique style of magic, as well as performing for many Fortune 500 Companies & is a 2-Time FISM Award Winning World Magic Champion. You may have seen him as one of the Wizards on SyFy Channel’s “Wizard Wars” with Penn & Teller, but he is much more than a just magician. He breaks stereotypes & the law at the same time! As a world-class sleight of hand artist (okay, con artist), he earns his laughs & living with pick-pocketing, card-sharking, street-swindling & psychological deceptions. Picture “The Sting” & “Catch Me If You Can.” In Greg’s show, nothing is what it seems. You’ll question reality & before you know it, he’s “Con in 60 Seconds!” He has wowed & worked with such celebrities as Ted Danson, Mel Brooks, Anne Bancroft, Jason Alexander, Dean Koontz, Paul Haggis, Bill Pullman, Kevin Pollack, Bill Walton, Rod Laver, Jim Brown, Larry Elder, Wynton Marsalis, Natalie Cole, Pat Benatar, Aerosmith, Stone Temple Pilots, Jefferson Starship and Heart. His con artistry has been seen in the movies, on TV & in some of the finest theaters worldwide. His experience will give you the experience of a lifetime!

Come & participate in one of the most sought lecturers the magic world has ever seen. His lecture is practical & real. How often has it been when you are asked to perform & you are not prepared? When those so-called unplanned opportunities arise, you’ll always be prepared to do extraordinary things using ordinary stuff! Gregory will teach you how to convert everyday objects into devastating weapons of deception. These are not just abbreviated quickies, but complete routines that are good enough to do at your next paid performance! After his lecture, you’ll never be caught off guard again. You know the scene: They found out you’re a magician, a crowd gathers. They all demand, “Show us a trick, show us a trick.” You sheepishly pat your pockets as beads of sweat dive off your furrowed brow. The only thing you can muster is, “Sorry, I don’t have anything with me.” If this is uncomfortable familiar, then worry no more. With “Gregory Wilson’s Things I Carry & Use Lecture,” the first thing to disappear will be that pile of sad excuses. No longer will you say, “I left my talent in my other jacket.” or “What do I look like, a trick monkey?” or even worse, “Has anyone seen my Invisible Deck?” Gregory will teach you simple, yet stunning effects with normal objects. Of course, he will feature some of his greatest hits for those who just love his style & his awesome card techniques. Plus, the emphasis is on the entertainment. So instead of a dry & boring lecture, you’ll experience a rip-roaring, fast-paced, high-energy, laugh-out-loud, audience-involving SHOW!!! There is something for everyone!

Why else did Paul Harris devote a complete chapter to Gregory Wilson in his Classic books: “The Art of Astonishment.” Because, he is that GOOD! He is the inventor of such tricks as “The Stockholder” (Winner Best Trick 1996), “Hundy 500,” “FreaKey,” “Kiss Off,” “Dishonest Abe,” “Foreign Affair,” “Pointless,” “Exact Change,” “Bandwidth,” “Revolution,” “Pickpocket Passport,” and his newest release “Cold Case.” His best-selling DVD’s: “Double-Take,” “Off The Cuff,” “On The Spot,” Card Stunts,” “Pyro-Technic Pasteboards,” “Ring Leader,” “Gregory Wilson In Action 1/2/3,” & “The School of Cool” are in demand and used by Top Professional Magician’s Worldwide.

When you witness Gregory Wilson Live, your MAGIC will change forever!!! Come see why he is one of magic’s most favorite modern day magicians!!! DO NOT MISS THIS EVENT!

He'll also be touring in the Pacific Northwest in February, 2019. This will be a great lecture. I've seen three of his lectures and each as as good, if not better, than the rest.

San Fran is in for a treat!
