"All magic, it goes without saying, is illusion.
The effect of the illusion is how it appears to the audience.
The preparation for the illusion is everything - from
the crimping of a card to the practicing of ten thousand hours.
If the preparation has been sufficient and proper, then the execution of the illusion is
inexorable:
before you're even started, the work is done.
By the great ones, and I would be lying if I didn't include myself, magic is the ultimate entertainment:
they, the audience will never forget you, or hold you less than kindly in their hearts.
What I'm saying, all you beginners out there, is this:
you do it right, they can't love you enough............"

Ventriloquism is magic.
Ventriloquists appear to bring inanimate objects to life, is there anything more magical?
So the above quote pertains to ventriloquism specifically as much as it pertains to "magic" generally.
By following what Paul Stadelman teaches in the help file available here, based on his book,
"Ventriloquism Of Today", you will indeed have the proper and sufficient preparation needed.
So learn and enjoy.

I now have the audio tape version of this course available on audio cd.
(The very end of the tape was been clipped in the transfer, but it was
either that or make two cds out of it - the lessons are complete, it
just lost a couple minutes of Paul summing up with telling you to
practice - but you already know to do that.)
If you are interested in a copy of the audio cd, it's 5.00, shipping included (within the U.S.) - just email me.
