Quotes: -

David Penn MIMC “I saw Steve Dela lecture at The Magic Circle last night… and booked him on the spot! It was one of the most commercial mentalism lectures we’ve ever seen. Practical, clever, and packed with usable material. He also brought a fantastic range of products that sold out fast.”

Jason Deverell Bexley Magic Society. "We had a fantastic lecture last week from Steve Dela, who, in addition to taking the audience through some of his recent creations, showed us the level of detail he puts into his close-up routine and the thinking behind what makes it so powerful. It was a hugely entertaining and enjoyable night with an excellent turn out from both members and guests"

Chris Jowett Banished Magicians Society. "Wow!...Steve gave us a lecture we wont forget! Not only did he teach some amazing close up workers with some brilliant methods and ideas, but we were also treated to Steves full professional routine which was full of incredible magic and tips from someone who has perfected his art. The lecture was fast moving, informative and fun. Every member of our club took so much from it no matter whether they were a beginner or a professional. We cant wait to have Steve back to show us his new lecture which he is currently working on.  Thanks for a brilliant evening."

John Holt “I remember seeing Steve Dela’s lecture many years ago. I came away with so many great routines, tips and ideas. I even got my first restaurant residency a few days later, thanks to the advice he gave in that lecture. He knows his stuff. Solid, practical and very workable material. If you’re a professional magician, or hope to be one, this lecture is a ‘must see’. Get him booked for your magic club now!”

 Steve Cook “Steve's lecture is one of the best out there. Highly recommended!”
