Jon Allen's Connection is the ultimate magic instructional trilogy… it truly is one of the best I have seen in a long while. His presentations bring new life to many effects. Smart and fun concepts you will want to use.--Garrett Thomas. "Every time I work with Jon Allen I am reminded how magic can be used to form meaningful connections with audiences as well as entertain them. Not only are people amazed by his truly creative pieces, but they come away liking him as a person, not just a performer. That's the magic we should all be doing."--Dan Harlan. "Jon performs and teaches a variety of astonishing effects that have been expertly crafted to engage the audience in fun, entertaining ways while fooling the sh*t out of them. The Jon Allen Connection is one of the best releases in the past couple of years."--Wayne Houchin. "Powerful, practical magic. Jon explains not only the 'what' and 'how', but also the important 'why' behind his incredible, creative effects."--Chris Hannibal.
