Ok, please

This may be the one exception to the rule - I have eaten, but I usually do it in another room. As for charging for your time...well, depends on what you are charging, your mindset, and how you run your own business. I have charged, and not charged for that time. Let me ask you this - if you...

Haha, thanks WD - it is good to be back...even if it is only with one foot in. Cheers.

There is good and bad to the cliché advice of “studying magic” for the “sake of development” and “learn as much as you can”, below are what I think the pros and cons to learning all you can. The pro – learning sleights and practicing ones you may or may not use will come in handy. It will...

The next step... It is odd what different experiences we can have while having a similar experience. I just performed at a wedding tonight as well. A good audience of Doctors/Lawyers/Accountants – all in their 30’s, so my age, and they ate it up. I think my points below – 1 and 4 – are...

Good point Chase - but I hope we all realize, I don't think that I will ever stop other magicians from bad mouthing and displaying insecurities. I just want them to SEE the magic, before they SEE the method. If we are so busy acting unimpressed, or trying to figure it out, we will never had...

Hey Luka, I thought about that when I was writing, as I have met a few other Film students (My brother-in-law, for example) that dissect movies in a scholarly way...and perhaps I should have commented on this concept. I don't want people to think I am saying - don't look at an effect in...

I have a good "gone wrong" story...I hope I can convey it without losing you...as the moment had me stuck (perhaps pun intended – read on to see why) I was table hopping at a restaurant that served Daiquiris with icing sugar on the rim, a very popular drink that most tables would partake in...

Magicians are known to be the worst audience members; so poor in fact, that I saw on a performance video of EXTRA CREDIT by Josh Jay, the older audience didn’t seem to enjoy his humour, and someone commented under the vid: o0zaid0o Hate those spectators.. He is too young for them... he...

Well - this decision has been long coming. I have decied to leave this forum for good. I am tired of the bashing remarks of Baller08, so he can feel better about himself. I can't have a serious discussion, because I am being called stupid, a douchebag, a blow hard...and so on...I don't have...

“You must love yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy.”

Magic is like hotdogs...everyone likes them until they know how they are made. - David Williamson

Have a sense of humour Baller08 - you are too high strung. According to you - it means you are trying to prove something.

I am not concerned on gaining credibility - but it is funny that you speak of "looking things up", as you hide behind a desk. I am not angry Baller08 - although I am using your email address to send as much gay porn junk mail as I can...hey, what can I say, it makes me feel better. Just...

I don't think the issue is that magic is being ruined for lay audiences - it is that magic on the internet has negative outcomes with upcoming magicians that don't really understand the art, because they stick to their free learning through video stream. I have asked this question as part of...

Meeting Mac King would have been great - considered THE funniest magician in magic.

I will try again - my last post was me reaching my hand out to help you from drowing in the flood of anger you like to be in. It is the truly sad thing. Our lives are different - it really bothers me that my great experiences in magic make lash out. I am sad...sad that you feel threatened by...

“Be yourself. No one can ever tell you you're doing it wrong.”

Hi Baller08 - perhaps your reading skills are a bit off when quoting me partially – rather than taking the entire text into consideration – you only focused on the end, as this was a further explanation of Ortiz concept of having value in your show. Perhaps you should research this approach...
