Pit Hartling – The Lecture
Pit Hartling is Germany’s most sucessful magician in the weight-class under 130
pounds. Pit is part of Germany’s Flicking Fingers group, he was the youngest
member of the famous Escuela Magica de Madrid and was named Lecturer of the
Year by the Academy of Magical Arts in Hollywood.
Internationally, Pit is best known for his fun and clever style of cardmagic as well as
his Little Green Lecture notes and his critically acclaimed books Card Fictions and In
Order to Amaze.
In this entertaining show-lecture Pit discusses card effects from his professional
repertoire. He covers not only the working of the tricks themselves, but also general
principles of method and presentation that can be used in any magic-context.
There will be a wide variety of plots and effects, with methods ranging from sleight of
hand and clever use of mathematical and psychological strategies to some routines
that are entirely sleight-free.
Finally, Pit will explain how to become rich and sexy, as well as the correct use of
false promises.
