Quick Overview

Are you a magician that is struggling with…

Knowing What to Choose

You have a list of material, but you struggle with knowing what will show you at your best.

Making it Uniquely Yours

You know how to perform and do the sleights, but you have a hard time making it personal to you.

Focusing on What’s Important

You sit down to plan your act, but you struggle to stay on point and end up more confused.

By the end of this course you will:

Master the 5 components of exam ready material

Each day I’ll walk through how to craft solid material, with examples from successful exams.

Unlock inputs for generating authentic presentations

Each video ends with a guided challenge that you can revisit as a source of inspiration.

Get confident your material is at exam standard

You’ll leave with 03 authentic routine ideas you can drop straight into your exam act.

In just 10 minutes a day

I’ll guide you through the five components of exam-ready material and give you challenges to spark ideas on making it authentically yours.

  • We'll kick off 03 in five by dissecting what makes exam ready material and walk you through my favourite framework to start sorting your repertoire to find your top 06.

01

Day

  • Instead of thinking about how examiners award marks this session gets us thinking about how you can avoid losing them. We'll talk about how to evaluate your top 06 and narrow your search down to your top 03.

Day

02

  • Choosing tried and tested routines can work, but if you’re not adding anything new you’re missing out on marks. On day three we'll talk about what you can do to make sure that you're adding elements of yourself each routine to give you the best chance of success.

Day

03

  • Getting high marks boils down to two things; technique and presentation, building an act that showcases your potential as a magician requires a simple structure that supports both. We’ll be talking about how to connect your top 03 to your authenticity that examiners can follow, understand, and pass.

Day

04

  • The final day will be focused on putting it all together. We’ll be talking about how to put everything together for an act you can start rehearsing. I’ll be sharing my favourite framework for piecing your act together in a way that makes sense.

Passed the exam first time

Matthew taught me more than just to pass the exam. It was a whole course in scripting, performing, stagecraft and new effects.

He helped and guided me to put together an act that had all the elements that I needed. It was an awesome experience and I passed my audition First Time!

Magic Circle Member in 6 sessions

I approached Matthew to help me try and pass The Magic Circle exam. Bottom line, due to Matthew’s coaching I passed.

Matthew coaching was amazing. He was patient and so easy to talk to and just has a knack of getting the best out of you (probably more than you thought you had inside).

10/10 for me.

Being a student under Matthew is a joy.

When I think about how my magic routines under Matt have improved it blows my mind.  

Bottom line, if you want to improve your magic Matthew's your guy.

with his help and advice I passed my Magic Circle exam!
