REVIEWS:

 

"I took his workshop series, and absolutely loved it. This is a great mixture of teaching great concepts, and applicable effects, and the way he teaches makes you absorb the most you can. This was my favourite course ever, and I'd highly recommend it." F.B.
"This is probably one of the best value for money offers in the magic industry. Pipo is an excellent teacher, host, and I learned a lot that is changing how I think about magic. I encourage you to sign up for this workshop. You will be a better magician for your participation." I.P.
"I highly recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of magic and learn how to build beautifully constructed routines that will let your spectators experience real magic. Pipo has a wonderfully considered approach to his magic with strong foundations from the great masters such as Gabi, Ascanio and Tamariz. It's clear from watching his routines how clever the construction is and Pipo does not hold back in sharing all his knowledge and strategies in this course. What's more is that there are exercises after each session to help put the learning into practice. All of this at an extremely reasonable price - you won't regret signing up for this!"" S.T."
Pipo's workshop on construction is a gem that you should not miss. Pipo classifies and orders concepts from teachers such as Gabi, Ascanio or Camilo, and adds his own concepts that are tremendously lucid and useful. Attending this workshop is synonymous with improving as a magician. You will learn to analyze and improve your magic to make it more impressive, cleaner, and more exciting. A workshop where Pipo leaves nothing behind: very interesting exercises, his most brilliant concepts and some of the best games in his repertoire. All of this they are put on the table so that the student gets the most out of this fun workshop. One of the most complete works that have ever been done on this subject. Thank you Pipo for this invaluable workshop, I have enjoyed it enormously from beginning to end ". Miguel Muñoz
"I first became aware of Pipo Villanueva after seeing a trailer for his video download Magic for the Short Sighted. I could tell this was special - thoughtful, delicate, and truly engaging. I searched out the source and purchased it immediately. It remains a favorite. I was thrilled to learn that he offered a workshop and signed up, hoping to understand how he made his magic so special. Entitled "Building the Impossible - The Craft of Splitting Reality," the workshop seemed much more structured than the usual workshop. At most workshops and masterclasses you get to spend time with a magician who will explain their thoughts on how they developed a few effects and get help with a few moves. Pipo's workshop is much more. It is a mini-course on the thinking found in the Spanish school of magic. I believe that for many it will be a transforming event. He delves into the theory on the construction of magic. He emphasizes techniques to make the movements that create the magic economical and invisible. Using carefully chosen effects, Pipo shows how theory can come to life. And yes, there is homework. He gives you the chance to use what you learn in a very safe environment. Pipo's passion for magic and its history is present in his teaching and his effects. This is a rare opportunity, of which I have not seen anything similar. If unfamiliar with this thinking, you will view magic in a new way and discover your own approach to magic in a different light. Those with experience will solidify their understanding and find practical approaches for creating magic. I found what I was looking for in ways I could not have imagined. If you are serious on learning how to construct magical effects, Pipo's workshop is not to be missed." J.Croop
