    Is a marked deck worth it?

    The penguin marked decks are super easy to read! The question is what do you plan to do with the marked deck? It is worth it if you want to perform some impossible miraclesthat only a marked deck could provide. It is like asking if learning a stacknis worth it. It is a tool. But if you have no...

    How to approach potential spectators

    Notice he didn't say "I'm a Magician." Sometimes it is great to catch them off guard. Some may assume you are a comedian, or a musician, or maybe even just one of the guests. You could introduce yourself, ask to be invited into the group, then surprise them with magic!

    Border or Borderless for Double lifting?

    For a double lift, i have never noticed a real difference. A lot of my tricks involve cards being face up in the deck however so i tend to prefer bordered decks. It just depends on the effects you are using.

    Had the weirdest "heckler" the other day...

    Enforce may be a strong word for it lol. Encourage maybe? I was an operations lead/trainer so i would try to encourage the cast to use these ways of speaking but i could not reprimand them if they didnt. Also first name rule? Never heard of it haha. I was there for almost 10 years. Unless you...

    Had the weirdest "heckler" the other day...

    Ill repeat what these two said one more time because i feel it is super important. Many times we accidenally create these situations for ourselves because of the words we choose. I actually would see this everyday working at Disney. When rides would close (sometimes rides would close 2-3 times...

    Are amusement parks good places to perform magic to strangers?

    Casually doing some tricks while waiting in line is fine i think. The issue is when you start approaching people as they are eating or walking by and asking them to stop and watch you. Especially if you take tips. A great way to get kicked out of the park lol. If you are just casually hanging...

    How do you get people to tip you at restraint gigs

    Me personally I avoid mentioning tips at all. Not that asking for tips is bad, but the idea of a tip is that they are offering their money out of gratitude for your time and entertainment. If you ask for a tip it kinda defeats the purpose of the concept. You may as well just charge them at the...
