This tape is an in-depth look at the very fabric of audience attention control, through the use of body language, eye contact, and relaxation and tension, in order to become a more deceptive magician.

The lecture begins with an open discussion of the concepts behind deceptive magic, after which Michael amplifies these topics with a practical demonstration with two classic effects: "The Homing Card" and "Coins Through the Table". Both of these routines are explained in detail with the major emphasis placed on covering all the moves and techniques.

A member of The Magic Circle remarked "I wish I had have seen this lecture 25 years ago".
