I think many are missing the value of the new “Live Act” approach. If the performer is great and the material is good to great, then it’s a decidedly better format. Why? Because it demonstrates much of what is often overlooked in these lectures: the importance of show structure, scripting, transitions, routine variety and length, etc. If you perform for a living, you can never learn enough about these topics whereas if you are primarily a hobbyist you will want just more tricks. That’s fine too.


100% agree with this. I'm not sure if I prefer this new "Live Act" format though... as the older format gave the performer more freedom (because he wouldn't be tied to a structure) and that usually translate into more material. That being said, I was particularly impressed with some of the material in the new format.

Regardles of the format... Banachek, Marc Paul and Jan Forster lectures were absolutely phenomenal. I can't really take my top 5... but those 3 will have to be in it.
