Steve Spill shares invaluable insights during his first lecture at CC. Growing up in the close-up room at the Magic Castle, Steve carved his own path as Highdini, opening for major rock bands and establishing Magicopolis in Santa Monica. He discusses the importance of injecting your authentic self into performances, taking risks, trying new things, and embracing failure. Tune in to learn from a living legend and elevate your magic with authenticity and creativity.
