    Magic Civil War: Calen Morelli vs. Rick Lax vs. Ellusionist?

    Oh man that would have been epic!!! Could you imagine Calen Morelli with a big freaking Vibranium Shield and Rick Lax decked out in Iron Man armor. *geeks out hardcore*

    Magic Civil War: Calen Morelli vs. Rick Lax vs. Ellusionist?

    No problem! It was a pretty big undertaking but I think I gathered most of the relevant data to this topic. I don't think Morelli or Lax realize the kind of influence they have on people just yet. I do have a lot of respect for both creators. I'm hoping that this will blow over soon and...

    Magic Civil War: Calen Morelli vs. Rick Lax vs. Ellusionist?

    I agree with everything you just said. While Rick Lax's videos are not my cup of tea, I do appreciate how he is able to entertain a mass audience that would have no prior interest in viewing magic. With that being said he is way out of line with how he is handling his influence and fame. I'll...

    Magic Civil War: Calen Morelli vs. Rick Lax vs. Ellusionist?

    This was the massive project that I was talking about for a recent event in the magic world. This topic has been building for a while now and sort of reached an interesting feud last week between Calen Morelli and Rick Lax. I'm not the proper authority on this so I would love to hear your guys'...

    Failed magic

    I suppose I should give you some practical examples of what I mean as well. Say for instance you have them pick a card and then that card is lost and you can't find it by mistake, I would then say "It's practically impossible to find the card right?" and then ask them what card they picked and...

    Failed magic

    This is a pretty trick subject. I often agree with David Blaine's and Calen Morelli's philosophy that nothing goes wrong in magic. That whatever happens was supposed to happen. This is why you always have a back up trick to redeem yourself. This is also why I never announce what I'm going to...

    Spring Goals

    I'm working on a few routines. One is a massive project that will be an hour long show that will help elevate me more as a serious performer in my local area and then hopefully getting booked for much bigger shows in much larger cities such as Ann Arbor, Lansing, Grand Rapids, and the crown...

    Stapled by Dee Christopher Review

    Did you watch the video? I explicitly said I did not have enough time to film a live performance demonstration for this review since Dee Christopher sent these out to reviewers in hopes of getting the reviews out early. I'm not quite sure about what you wanted to "see" with this review. Were you...

    BODY ILLUSION - BeMyDrugTonight

    I think what Roman and his team are trying to go for with his videos is art films mixed with magic effects. As someone who is a part of a media production company, I have a lot of respect for the quality and originality of Roman's videos. But like I said I'm seeing this through the lense of a...

    Best fork magic

    I think Threek by Bizarro is pretty decent. It kind of has that shock value that wins Dan Sperry and Bizarro a lot of points with the audience. I think it would be cool to see you perform it.

    Your Influences In Magic

    1. Shawn Farquhar 2. Dynamo 3. Dan White 4. David Blaine 5. Calen Morelli Copperfield and Darcy Oake are huge influences on me but I can't quite give a performance yet that is close to their style. I'm working my way towards it though.

    My First Gig

    Hmm....let me try writing up a quick routine that might get kid interested in your show. Magician walks up in front of audience and places a box of Oreos on the table. Magician:"Who here likes Oreos?" *waits for children to raise their hands* "Me too. In fact I love them so much, I spit them...

    My First Gig

    I always recommend an opening that is quick and to the point but highly visual. Remember children have a very short attention span. If you could afford it, something along the lines of Pyro, Meteors, or Bowl-A-Rama would work wonders in this situation but let's assume you are on a budget. I...

    What's the best type of playing cards?

    Honestly, I have to agree with Dan Sperry on this one. A laymen really does not care what kind of deck of cards you are using so you can't go wrong with Bikes. In fact, I'm trying to put together this card routine where I do crazy wonderful effects such as the Invisible Deck, Sleeper, Vortex...

    My First Gig

    Best of luck man! Based on my experience, the more you can get children to participate the better. I love using a Rising Card Deck ( or Sleeper) and making them believe that they are in fact causing the effect to happen. Smoke magic works good to as long as it is done in a way that makes sense...

    Now You See Me 2

    What I find so interesting is that ever since "The Social Network", Jesse Eisenberg is always type-casted as a Mark Zuckerberg-esque role. I enjoyed the first movie but I saw Jesse Eisenberg as a guy who stole a performance routine from Mark Ruffalo and was reaping all the benefits from it while...

    VAPR by Will Tsai

    Hey everyone, My VAPR setup isn't working properly. It's able to charge properly, there is nothing wrong with the cable, and the cartridge is brand new. When ever I press the button or the remote it will whir up and work properly but it is unable to produce smoke. Does anyone have any ideas as...

    I Need Help!!!

    Thank you for your support DominusDolorum! Unfortunately the camera man I was counting on was not able to make it that night so nothing was recorded. The next show I have I'll try to give my camera man more notice so that way I can share my performance and get feedback from you guys. Best...

    I Need Help!!!

    Thanks for your advice! I'll work on rewriting the dialogue without the self-depricating humor and try to focus more on a story that the audience would care about.
