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.

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.

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

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!

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!
