Interesting topic William. I'm thinking Red may be correct in that if you are constantly available or have shows frequently, perhaps it isn't such a big deal then to your fan base. They might not see their "missing" your show as a "loss" because within the next few weeks they could come see it...

History repeats itself. That is how we move forward as a society. We learn and grow from our mistakes and our previous successes. I understand both sides of the fence because when I first started out during my first year or two I didn't really care who had created the sleights or effects...

Hey fellas, I know it sounds like a plug for Jeff, but I purchased these on Jeff's last fundraiser event and they are WELL worth the few bucks which goes to a great cause. For the price of a McDonald's value meal you get some great effects.

I am actually grading 120 papers right now before school tomorrow so when I have time I AM going to break down the rest of your show and see what my thoughts are. Keep up the good work. You will only improve each time you take the stage.

I watched the first 3 and a half minutes of Arcada show and stopped because I was bored of the your "narration" of the effects. Now, do not take this wrong. What you are doing is great because over 3/4 of the members here have never even been up on a stage before entertaining a crowd. I applaud...

Thanks for the kind words fellas. Formula, you are correct. I do use a contract but in this instance it was a last minute gig because I had to cover for the main house magician who bailed to go to a lecture. I like your theory, always go above what is expected and stay that little bit extra...

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...

I watched both episodes last night on my DVR and thought it was pretty neat. The ball falling through the tube for the hand smash was really good as was Wayne's bungee jump routine with the books. The others just seemed like "fillers" to me. Just my two cents.

I couldn't have said it better than Craig. He saved me a lot of typing. I echo his thoughts. We have guys in our club who now cannot get "paid" gigs because they did "freebies" and now nobody will pay them anything. Meanwhile I am bringing in nice figures that are driving them nuts. Unless...

Nice William...congrats and break a leg.

I DVR'ed it the other night due to a lot of grading I had to do so I plan on watching it soon.

There are way more of us up North around the Canton area...about 2 hours north of Columbus. Like I said, our IBM ring has about 35 members in it that meet regularly once a month.

Hi Craig, Sorry that I am just now getting back to you but I've been outside putting up Christmas lights on the house and draining my hot tub. As far as coin work....I don't do anything except a scotch and soda routine. I've seen people do the move you are explaining...sort of. I've seen...

I shoot with the Canon Rebel T3i and it is phenomenal, however you are going to end up spending close to $2,000 by the time you get a tripod, proper gig SD cards that have high write speeds, etc. HD footage eats up memory quickly on those cards. You will eventually want an external mic because...

Enigma, Consider yourself invited as my guest to our next club meeting. Are you able to drive or would you need a parent to drive you? I can get you directions, times, etc. if you are interested. Let me know.

Ashley, There are tons of clubs in Ohio that I thought I had already told you about but you said you weren't willing to drive and meet up with any of us. I live 20 minutes south of you and we have a club of about 35 magicians (2 females) in Canton, OH. There is also an Akron Ring...

For me I like to read through old Linking Rings and lecture notes from the 70's and try to give them a new touch up and modernize an effect. Then I take it to my IBM ring meeting, demo it and let 30 magicians feed me ideas, constructive criticism, etc. and then keep playing and refining. I guess...

Hi Teddy, You cannot advertise for sales directly in our forums; however, we DO allow you to make a list of items for sale in your signature portion that can be viewed any time you are posting in other threads. I hope that makes sense.

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...
