Networking is crucial to the success of any business. Word of mouth travels fast and social media thrusts that into hyperdrive. However, I also feel that it can be a double edged sword as well. If one day on Twitter you are portraying yourself as a high class magician entertaining corporate...

Ha Ha. Cool find Justin. Thanks for sharing that. I thought it was pretty neat.

ESFOD, I don't perform Regeneration, but loved watching your live performance. Well done and great reactions from the spectators. Keep up the good work bro.

For overly moist hands that you want to dry out simply use Purell or other hand sanitizer that is alcohol based. For moister, try Chamberlains Golden Touch Spray.

Krab is correct. 99% of the time the move or sleight is already out there and you are doing the same thing or just a variation of it. I'd send it to a few card guys to see if it is even original first. Zach Mueller or Jason England might be two good guys to post a link to, just to see. I know a...

Last night I took part in a fundraiser event at our local middle school. Initially when you are asked to entertain for free at such events, you get a little upset that you are not being paid. You know you are worth it and you are hesitant to take the gig. Let me share last night's story...

Dang it Randy...ha ha. That's golden advice you are giving away there. I happen to use that line as well. I always make it appear like I am in high demand as well even if the month is open. I never check my calendar or phone right in front of the client. Sometimes this "checking your...

Scyne, wow....talk about jumping right into the fire and yes, you are right, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong at some point or another. Nice job arriving early and seeing what the layout would be though rather than arriving 10 minutes prior like some guys and then going insane because...

Ha Ha. No mentalism Scyne, but I've been doing this long enough to know what nerves can and will do to your body hence the reason I skip whatever meal it is prior to the gig I'm headed to and then pound food like a champ when I get home on my emotional high. Have a good time and break a leg...

Another helpful hint to boost your confidence is don't start changing your sets and effects up every time you go out and do a gig. Once you think you have the 3 strolling sets down that you want, keep them in the same order, with the same patter EVERY time. The props go back in the same pocket...

Ha Ha. You want to know the way I felt before my "first" paid gig like that? Okay you asked for it. About an hour before...I was sick to my stomach and had diarrhea. My first table or two I had shaky hands and cotton mouth. Ha Ha. Don't worry my friend, the nerves are completely normal and...

I would say 5-7 minutes is pretty common for your sets while at tables, however I have stayed up to about 10 if it was a slow night or if it was getting towards closing time and there were a few patrons left at a table still finishing up a drink or so. Remember: you can always go back to a...

Another idea is Ring and String effects. Jay Scott Berry and Gregory Wilson both have nice routines.

Perhaps a Copper, Silver, Brass Coin Set? If you are looking for a nice little mental effect that isn't cards, Free Will is outstanding and inexpensive. http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S4030

The cheaper option is just the refill for your original device I believe.

Hmmm....something I wished I would have known way back when I started. I wished I would have read David Stone's Book http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/2504 and Jamie Grant's Book http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/3753 Both of these are well worth the price tag. Get them ASAP. All magic items go back...

I'd also try to contact Calen Morelli because he showed me something very similar to this that he was doing at Magifest 3 years ago.

Well done! As mentioned, this is probably one of the better deck designs that I've seen posted on here. The only thing I may add is I do think it would be difficult to get enough orders placed on Kickstarter because the deck is tailored to your initials only. To everyone else your initials are...

You want to see a brilliant final load? Watch Johnny Ace Palmer load 3 "live" baby chicks under the cups at the end. Phenomenal!

As Randy stated, I would contact Garrett Thomas as he is the master of ring and finger demonstrations and has been for years. He will know exactly if what you have is original.
