Just thought I'd share this for some of you older guys who know Ken Klosterman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C14nMLK9XbU

Check out these that I snagged up at our IBM ring auction. There are Hundreds of Genii magazines starting at 1968 to the 90's and years of Apocalypse magazine all from the 80's. Bought the entire lot of magazines for $20.00 practically. There are definitely some gems buried in these. If anyone...

Are any of our members at Magifest right now in Columbus Ohio or are any of you headed there tomorrow? I will be arriving tomorrow evening around 7:00 p.m. after work and would love to meet any Theory11 guys down there.

I recently stumbled upon some notes I took while attending a Duane Laflin conference back in October and wanted to share them with some of you here that may need or want a basic framework for a possible show. **A show should be built on the needs of your audience. Opening - This should be...

So everyone already read about my strolling gig last Friday night and the traffic jam, but I also performed at a birthday party Saturday afternoon. I've always had great experiences with birthday parties and receive great reviews. This one I wanted to share what happened so it doesn't happen...

So, you are all packed, dressed, props ready to go and you leave your house in plenty of time. Your gig is only 25-30 minutes away and so you leave 50 minutes early knowing that you should be fine.....and then it happens. BAM..SMASH...car crash in the middle of a 3 lane highway and it is the...

http://www.youtube.com/everyshotimaginable A fellow magician forwarded this to me. I believe DMC pops in here every now and then. I wasn't sure if he had posted a link somewhere to this yet or not so I apologize if he did and this is redundant. Hope everyone is doing well. I'm slammed...

I wanted to share this part of Bob Rees Lecture notes as I am sitting here reading them. I suggest this begs the question - "Where Does Magic Happen?" I can guarantee you it does not happen in the red, black, and gold box with the dragons painted on it. It does not happen in the sealed...

Hey Everyone, It is that time of year again where we all (teachers and students) are heading back to school. My classroom is ready and my students arrive on Tuesday. Please remember that I am not typically on the boards while working at school. I may occasionally drop in if I am on my...

Well Fellas, Im one tired dude. I just returned from 3 gigs today ( 2 balloon sculpting - 4 1/2 hours total + 2 hours of strolling magic ) = 6 1/2 hours of work in 3 different locations My feet are hurting man! Ha Ha. Wore a suit and tie all day. Those of you who are balloon twisters know...

So...we've all had interesting gigs, but I just got a phone call for one that might prove to be a new one on my list. A company would like me to perform strolling magic while on a charter bus for two hours while their employees and families are seated. It is a two hour ride to the amusement...

I recently picked up a copy of Ian Keables "Stand Up - A Professional Guide to Comedy Magic" I am only 63 pages into this book and I can tell you right now this is a MUST own book for those of you who are serious about entertainment. Jokes Versus Lines Keable states on page 33 "As a...

I had the pleasure of visiting Denny and Lee Magic Studio this afternoon for about an hour while my family and some friends went to Port Discovery. I have been to MANY magic shops and so far his was hands down the best. It was well stocked in the most up to date effects and had tons of outdated...

Tomorrow most Americans will be celebrating 4th of July, our nation's Independence Day. A lot of us will be with family and friends grilling out, swimming, and probably watching fireworks or letting them off. I'd love to see some performance videos from some of our members. Tomorrow would be a...

I don't know if this has been done before or not but I was at www.nike.com today creating custom shoes. Any how, on the last step you can change the Nike Tag up on the tongue of the shoes to whatever ID you want. You can have 4 characters on the Rt. shoe and 4 Characters on the Left. They can...

I wanted to share some information that I learned today on a Johnny Ace Palmer DVD this afternoon. This is one area that I must admit I need to improve upon because frankly I am always just too excited to get into my set or other times I don't care what their names are and I'm ashamed to say...

Here are some pics that were just emailed to me from my last stage client. I wouldn't call it a stage...more of a platform in an indoor horse riding facility. I know my curtains look dark in the photos but they are actually maroon and I look like I "blend" in with the back ground. Not good, I...

I just returned from a corporate gig that my mentor and I split between the two of us. He worked the first hour and I worked the next two because he was off to another gig. I always try to learn something new from each and every experience. It was interesting to see him out performing knuckle...

Pg. 139 out of Steve Martin's Born Standing Up " Every entertainer has a night when everything is clicking. These nights are accidental and statistical: Like lucky cards in poker, you can count on them occurring over time. What was hard was to be good, consistently good, night after night...

Hey Everyone, As I am beginning to book more and more stage shows as opposed to my birthday parties and strolling I am finding I need more funny lines, transition lines, stories and such. Are there any good books / resources as far as M.C. Bits and One Liners? I currently have Harry...
