    Hey, This is my friend's, Riken, new magic video trailer. He is a great guy and has been living in Tokyo for quite a while now. Great magician, funny, and overall just pretty awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22zVxsvbs1k

    Six month's of practice paid off

    ummm. like the cascade control, try to avoid shifting your entire torso, arms, shoulders, and hands to the left when you do the move. there is no reason to rotate your body to cover the movement, just tilt your hands a bit. the huge rotation in your torso is a dead giveaway.

    How young is too young to work professionally?

    My bit of advice is, do not set a poor magician who "makes mistakes" but still takes down 30-40 dollars per show, as your benchmark for when you are ready to go professional. "I can do that trick without making a mistake like that, I can go pro too" should not be your train of thought. Aim for...

    Website Thoughts?

    If you plan on sticking with Wordpress as your site's CMS (content management system), once you get your own demain with hosting, you wont be limited to the type / amount of themes you can use. You are sill in development stages so keep looking around for new themes. You might even want to...

    Ambitious card (live performance)

    Kudos for doing live performances! Keep it up. A few pieces of advice. Watch the video again and watch it from a spectator's point of view. Does the camera angle capture what you want people to see? How about the various editing you used... does it highlight and add to what you want...

    How can I get people to watch my Magic card vids?

    None of your videos come up in a typical magician's search. None of your videos have any descriptions or tag words, or titles that relate to magic for that matter. Use words like "color change" "two card transpo" "card sleights", "close up magic", etc... in your descriptions. Keywords and...

    New Website is Live! What do you guys think?

    Code looks clean for the most part. Design comments: The overall width of the site is quite large, and is typically used for site with a sidebar (following the golden rule with ratios). Because of the lack of the sidebar, you are filling up the top page with photos and videos that are...

    My Website (Work In Progress)

    Good start. Ways to go. Keep up the good work! Are you primarily trying to get clients through this site? What I mean is, is this website your primary means to getting new clients? If so, you do not need the information about your inspiration in magic. What you need is more...

    Amateurs and Professionals

    I do agree with Sir William. However, there are many exceptions to most rules. It is all situational. There are a lot of imaginable situations in which an un-practice amateur's poor performance can have a direct effect on another professional's working environment, but as a general rule of...

    Bee Wynn Price

    If the demand gets high enough, might sell 5 or so of my few dozen. But, shipping and handling from Japan might be quite a bit.

    First Effect (Let's Face It) Up & Ready!

    Dear OP. You are getting negative responses to the video because this is a magician's forum, and that is all. People come to this forum to see and experience magic. The post you created mentioned a new "effect" which would get people excited. However, your video, although obviously you had...

    How to Make your own Close-up Card Mat + Benefits!

    Question for all you homemade close-up pad craftsman. Are the pads you create one-way pads or can coins slide smoothly in all directions? One of the biggest draw backs of getting the lower end close-up pads is that the are all one-way pads and not ideal for coin matrix work.

    Any web designers here? Amateur or pro.

    I second wordpress if you have the time or interest to take control yourself. Wordpress looks daunting at first, but after the first initial learning curve, it can be as hands on as much or little as you want. Keep things minimal if your content is simple. There are a gazillion free...

    Smoke by Alan Rorrison problem

    Wow, I am having the same exact problem and have logged onto the forums to see if there was a similar post. To my surprise, it was the very first post I saw! Haha. I too will contact support to get to the bottom of this.

    SNC's are not fair

    Imagine that Theory11 was a brick and mortar shop based out of New York city, that required all applicants to their Saturday Night Contests to submit their entrees directly, in person, to the store. Because it is a brick and mortar shop, this would make sense, and most likely, not be deemed...

    Road's Untraveled

    My comment is based off of the assumption that you are hoping for some decent recognition and or a pretty solid view count / fan base, else you wouldn't really be asking for advice in the first place, you would probably just go do it. If this is incorrect, please disregard the following. You...

    I want to do my own street magic show on youtube.

    I know I for one give Craig a hard time on the long write-ups, but not on the length, just on the manner. In fact, sometimes the manner in which he writes them seems spot on, I just felt otherwise this time. And you are right, it is not his job to do so... However, it is none of our jobs to...
