A wonderfully engaging lecture by a fine speaker. Guy may not want daylight to shine on his magic, but he shines here in illuminating his technique: the deferment of disclosure, or what M. John Harrison called the 'transliminal moment'. Warm-hearted and edifying. This is a great series of lectures and Guy's contribution a noble addition.
What a wonderful lecture. Guy is such a wonderful speaker and such a fantastic author. Hearing his insight and experiences in such a treasure. Thank you for sharing this on UA-cam for everyone to enjoy!

Fantastic Deep Thoughts!
Yeah. Wally. The walking stick resembles experience, maturity and sophistication. All aspects of Gandalf. This is a great lecture.
There's nothing wrong with a good stick as a walking companion!
