He/you should check in with Ray Goulet at the Magic Art Studio in Watertown, MA. They regularly host lectures, and it's a great space. I for one would happily make the short drive from Providence to hear Banachek lecture.

Dang. I'll be in Florida on a honeymoon while Banachek's in Royal Oak ... my neck of the woods now. Oh well. Honeymoon's more important.

Has anyone seen this lecture? I'm going to the baltimore one but I'm wondering what to expect. I hope that its good professioanl quality stuff and not just for hobbiests.

And disappear for a day or two, while leaving my wife stranded without a car? Perhaps not the best way to start off a marriage ...
