    Performers Should Be Less Boring

    Don't do it for yourself, at least no exclusively. Do it for the audience first and foremost.

    Performers Should Be Less Boring

    I recommend to anyone who is interested in being an even marginally decent magician/performer, that he or she should take an acting class. Improv and confidence building are perfect catalysts for good magic performance. There it is. A concrete answer to anyone who thinks good performance...

    Saturday Night Contest - I Am Anonymous

    Wait, is anonymous saying that no he was not born in America, or that no he was not not born in America? Also, the Dominican Republic and Bolivia are technically in the Americas...

    New Torn & Restored - Feedback

    I didn't say you had to go out on the street--you seem to do pretty well performing for you class, at least in the videos you've posted here. It's a great trick, now just do it for them.
