This month's special guest at The Magic Cafe is Jack Carpenter which is a name that I've heard of before but didn't know a lot about.
Carpenter is well respected by the well respected for his card handling and as a person. Author of a few hard to find manuscripts like The Expert's Portfolio, he also has a book published by Hermetic Press titled "Modus Operandi: The Card Magic of Jack Carpenter".
His latest teaching vehicle is Day 1 of a two day jam session with his friends titled "The Seattle Sessions" produced by Steve Brook's The Magic Bakery.
Reading his posts as special guest on The Cafe, it's clear Jack has a passion for card magic and a love for the people who call themselves magicians. He has been very generous with his time and knowledge and for those lucky enough to be attending, Carpenter will be one of the featured performers/lecturers at this year's Golden Gate Gathering
My understanding his a lot of his material is advanced but there is material well within reach of beginner to intermediate who are willing to invest the time. More importantly what most have told me is Jack's attention to detail and construction of his presentations that will benefit all who study his material.
For those who have his material and/or perform it, please share your thoughts.
