I never perform street magic, however, I want to gain some more practice and have a play around with a few of my effects with an audience. I feel that I am not ready to use these effects I perform for money. So I was thinking if I should wonder the streets of my university, and also around...

I love criticism, you may of noticed from a few of my threads that I take it well, and I use it to improve. Just because someone says you should change it, it doesn't mean you have to do what they say, however, if it is to improve, there maybe something wrong you are doing, so over come it...

Could of been Mike... For some reason I thought it was a Steve, maybe that was someone else, somewhere else... Who knows! It was my first time there and maybe my last, unless I go all the way to NY again in the near future! :)

Tannens was great when I visited in January, I believe the guy behind the counter was named Steve, same as mine :p Very friendly and helpful! :)

No worries! Just seems like a pointless idea to lie about something! :) Anyway, my turn: Which venues do you perform in? I tend to work for charities, restaurants, bars, hotels, weddings, cabarets, private parties and theatres. What are the demographics of the audience you tend to...

Why do you need to make it up? - Just be honest, no need to lie.

I was going to mention that Dan, email addresses can give away professionalism straight away. Change them guys!

Once I was doing a ambitious card routine which I always perform, however, this one time performing, their card did not jump to the top... However, I was stuck in a hard situation because it was near the end! So I looked at them confused saying "Oh dear god, it hasn't jumped to the top?" -...

Why would the audience need to sign their own phone? Surely they know the phone is theirs. :p

How many people actually watch your 'season'? Because you may as well lay it off and present something decent in the mean time. We all know you can do better, surely?

I have found giving free shows away can be very useful to gain bookings and popularity. However, the only issue with it is people may phone you expecting a free show. - So I tend to have strict periods when I am not busy by performing for charities and communities for free. This is for a good...

Children's shows tend to be around 30 minutes maximum generally.

Thanks for your input and helping your fellow magicians in the community. - Wasn't really that hard was it?

I am taking a survey of the most common words people use to describe their favourite magicians. May have no relevance to you, but it does for me. So if you could participate, it would be helpful. Thanks.

Cool nice work. How do you normally gain these bookings? Mainly word of mouth?

What 3 words would you use to describe your favourite magician? Magical. Astonishing. Entertaining. Those are mine, how about yours? - This is just for a survey experiment I am taking.

I have just got another 300 of the ones above delivered today. Yippee, more contacts for me hopefully.
