At first I thought the video was an amusing parody.. then after reading all of this, I think not. Also, some of you are being awfully hard on someone who can't even legally drink (Or maybe smoke I dunno how old he is). It's amusing to me. All of you need to lighten up.

So far Zach's material is the ONLY street stuff I have liked. Hollywood Boulevard is full of nuts... but if yer used to that you can handle it. However even if yer used to it that doesn't stop you from wanting to do what Dan said. PAINT THE TOWN RED!!!

Special FX make-up, drawing, graphic design and video editing. Oh, and lighting people on fire.

Agreed. Get out and do something. The only way to get better is perform as much as possible and learn from your failures and not get discouraged. Mirror practice only gets you so far. As for age, I have been doing stage magic in bars and clubs since I was 16. (Mind you my parents were...

When you don't notice it. See Master of Illusion show for a good example of what NOT to do. Actually the best editing I have NEVER seen cuz' I didna notice it. It all depends what you're filming, selling, etc. Editing can change the mood/pace/feel of anything. Want a good example? Watch...

I wasn't saying it DOES but merely some sort of reason so you don't go to a website saying things like "Headless kids are ruining my hobby!" I agree that if you do your own magic (that you don't sell on popular websites) you should be safe. I was just merely throwing that out there. I personally...

Blown by a spectator? A switch.

Problem is for each video exposing there are two people involved. Those who encourage and those who discourage. Sadly, the former outweighs the latter. Once that is reversed, maybe it will recede a bit. Has anyone considered contacting YT and places like it and talked to someone in a decision...

I am going to comment on some of these comments (Department of redundancy department hello?) I have seen here. Please don't feel the need to reply, because much like the original post, these are merely opinions and I am entitled to them just like everyone else here is entitled to theirs. (Edit...

I would avoid doing the same type of effect. Football from notepad and bowling ball. I would stick to football. It's something skool kids can understand better. Also be careful with the mentalism and mind reading stuff. It can really drag down the energy of a show if not done right.

Possibly an inversion effect. It really depends on my mood and the person. For a guy I would do something else. For a girl, prolly card in hand.

Websites like this and others where people in the know are great places to research. A lot of effects that have been "Seen only" would not be on sites like that. If it's a card effect, ask someone you trust who knows cards, coins, same thing etc etc. The chances of someone ripping you off are...

I do an effect with a double backer called "one step ahead". It's in print in my Linking Ring parade, Feb 2007. Look it up. You'll like it.

Hurricaine Change be not easy...

I know a place to get some good unusual stuff.... (Grin) Some of them involve Razor Blades.

A headache...

Truer words may have never been spoken on this forum ha ha.

How varied is the variation? Same outcome but different presentation? Same presentation but different props? Etc...

Well you can do a visual color changing deck with it, a revelation, ending for ambitious card, a vanish, four ace production, and a few other things I use it for. So I'd say yes... ha ha.

Geek magic tends to be things like the Needle thru arm (Magic version) and razor blade effect (in which Rose DOES do). Initially the geek was a term for someone who (for the most part) was known for biting the heads of chickens and whatnot, but much like how street magic evolved to what it is...
