Magic Review - What Happens in the Shadows by Benjamin Francis

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a thorough review of "What Happens in the Shadows," a 5-hour masterclass by Benjamin Francis and Lewis LeVal, available through Mindhaus. He frames the review as a 'director's commentary,' emphasizing the value of watching Lewis LeVal's previous works like "Parlor Room Seance" or "Witch in the Woods" beforehand for context. The masterclass champions proactive creativity, encouraging magicians to become sources of inspiration rather than passively waiting for external validation. The content is presented as a long-form discussion covering a wide range of topics, from initial inspiration and scriptwriting to technical aspects like lighting and sound, and even the business side of show creation. David highlights the comprehensive nature of the material, noting its appeal to those aiming to create parlor or stage shows, while also suggesting benefits for close-up magicians. The review concludes with a promotion for the Magic Orthodoxy membership, showcasing exclusive content and its flexible subscription model.
