Key points
Christian Grace's 'Miracle One' was a standout trick, though the lecture overall didn't wow Steve.
Andy Frost's deep dive into the double lift was insightful, especially his one-phase Ambitious Card routine.
Tina Lennox's talk on originality and authenticity was the most inspiring part of the day.
Mike Caveney's history lesson on the sawing-in-half illusion was engaging but dense for some.
Mario Lopez's blend of humor and magic was a highlight, though his lecture felt slightly long.
The gala show had standout performances but some pacing and translation issues.
