Less Is More is a two day, online event bringing the book to life on screen. Ben will be expanding beyond the pages with new insights, techniques and routines—breathing new life into this modern-day classic.
There will be private hangouts after each session and long discussions into the night—creating a ‘convention feel’. This will not just be an opportunity to enhance your magic but to jam with and meet like-minded people.
You do not need to have read Less Is More to benefit from Less Is More, but if you have, it will be an amazing visual companion.
Only beginner skill is required… but the results will be world class!
