Lecture Notes Vol. 1

INCLUDES AN EXCLUSIVE RECORDING OF IAIN'S LECTURE FOR FREE! AT PRESENT THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN WATCH HIS LECTURE.

Practical magic. Real audiences. Ideas built to be performed.

These lecture notes bring together a collection of routines, ideas, and principles that I’ve taught and refined through lectures across the UK between 2024 and 2026.

Inside, you’ll find 11 pieces of practical, entertaining material designed for real-world performance. Some of these routines have become firm favourites in my own repertoire, while others have grown and developed through repeated performance, audience reactions, and conversations with fellow magicians along the way.

Whether you’re looking for new material, fresh inspiration, or an insight into my approach to creating and performing magic, Lecture Notes Vol. 1 offers a snapshot of three busy years of lecturing, performing, and experimenting.

Inside you’ll find:

• Practical routines for real audiences
• Strong, commercial material
• Ideas and principles you can apply to your own magic
• Material taught and tested in live lectures
