Well, what should every true magician know!?
Here is my first thing every magician should know:
Never reveal the secret to your effect.

Not only that, but practice beyond when you THINK you've mastered it. Then practice some more. Because you can never really master a sleight - you can do it in your sleep, blindfolded, behind your back, and you can STILL mess up in front of a crowd. Nerves can really wreak havoc on a magician.
That's so fking true, it's embarissing watching magicians say stuff like "hey watch this magic button you're card will fly through the air and land in youre backpocket" that's just so wrong for me.
I disagree a ton! Make your patter fit you, if unbelievable patter works for you, use it. I have seen some very good magicians use that type of patter. So don't tell everyone not to use a certain type of patter since you hate it. I hate story patter, it just doesn't work for me, do I tell everyone not to use story patter? No, because that would be stupid. A true magician needs to understand that his patter should not be what came with the trick, it should be what works for you.
No thats not it.Have super awesome and shocking tricks..I don't need to relate to
them,they should relate to me.They should pay attention to me because im
performing astonishing card tricks not some stupid mathematical card trick.
And If they hired me is for a reason,To show them my awesome card tricks, not to
connect with them.But hey If you want to connect go to the bar.
Have fun never making it as a professional.
The last gig I had was at a political fundraiser. They liked my magic, but most of all the hosts kept praising my professional demeanor, attitude, and how I took the time to converse with all the guests before and after my show. They've been telling all their friends about me, are writing up a testimonial for my website, and they passed out about 60 of my business cards to their friends and family within a week.
Stay connected.
Really? So your Tricks were *** then, When I perform they only talk about my
effects,Its all about the Effects.. enough' said.Did I mention I'm Hilarious and
charismatic?I have a perfect pass too
If he's not, he's one of the worst trolls I've ever seen in my life. A good troll is subtle and can piss people off through careful wordplay.
This guy may as well be slamming his face against his keyboard for all the good he's doing in raising any hackles.
