    How can I perfect my performance?

    Like what ChristopherT said, writing a script will help you figure out what story you want to tell and how you want to present your character. Remember, people don't care about magic, people care about people. Focus more (while performing) on selling your character to your audience and have your...

    How do I add videos to My Videos?

    Once they are purchased they should automatically added in the My Videos section of your account. You don't have to add anything. Contact support if the videos that you purchased are not showing up there.

    Do you need to perform magic or know magic tricks to be a magician?

    I agree with Grant. I wouldn't worry too much about labels. What I would do is focus on a very clear and specific vision/goals you have for yourself. What people define you will come later. Like if you want to write a book on magic, have a specific dream for that book on what it's going to be...

    Do you need to perform magic or know magic tricks to be a magician?

    You can take the pretentious term I use to call myself of "visual effect artist". :D

    Do you need to perform magic or know magic tricks to be a magician?

    Any art form is subjective and I consider magic to be an art form. There are so many people that just perform tricks to a camera to get likes on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, etc. who will never actually go out and perform for people in person. They still consider themselves magicians. I...

    Magic films

    The Prestige is a Christopher Nolan film and it's really good. There is The Incredible Burt Wonderstone which others hated but I enjoyed simply for Jim Carrey's parody character of Criss Angel. There are some great magician short films such as "The Magician" (my personal favorite) and...

    Silent performance help

    Silent style of magic is very difficult in terms of performing (at least for me) and I've seen only a select few do it very well like Teller and Shin Lim. One of the things that you will learn as you perform more is that people don't care about magic. People care about people. So your effects...

    Swammi? Help

    I would use hot glue or super glue just to be on the safe side.

    A very wise decision. ;)

    Well it looks like pesce is the only one that entered this fairly simple contest! Congrats pesce! Shoot me a PM on here and I'll hook you up with your free copy of Doubting Thomas. Even though the contest is over, I hope this thread can still continue because I often feel like we are all talk...

    Getting started with coins and rings

    For coin magic, my best recommendation is starting with Bobo's Modern Coin Magic by J.B. Bobo. It's essentially the coin magic bible and will get you started on everything you need to know and it's relatively inexpensive compared to other books. David Roth also has the Ultimate Coin Magic...

    Swammi? Help

    I would go with a professionally made utility gimmick myself. I haven't worked with a boon writer yet so I can't comment on its difficulty.

    Swammi? Help

    If you are homebrewing it then yes you will have to make a hole.

    Swammi? Help

    TT stands for thumb tip. I suggest a rubber one.

    Swammi? Help

    I'm sure you can create something with a simple TT but why not just order one online?

    Saturday Night Contest - Resolutions For 2017

    2016 was surprisingly a great year for me in terms of magic. I attended my first Penguin Live Lecture and met Dan Harlan and Jeff Stone. I fulfilled a fantasy/goal of mine with getting a shout out on Expose with the release of No Pressure on the Marketplace. I joined a magic club at my...
