Yes, we agree on some things. I have always thought of Burger of a storyteller that uses Magic to embellish his stories, not everyone can tell stories, he can, that is not to take away his magical talents, just an observation I am not going to have some inauthentic story about metal bending...

Yes, I had forgotten about that routine until it was brought up here it is really how you manage it, and the importance/emphasis you put on things, etc, and also combining techniques using the one-ahead with peeks or other things could be managed in a way to be completely undetectable and not...

The thing about the "One-ahead" principle, is it factors on not being able to reconstruct it, and that is the biggest flaw of the one-ahead principle, you have to be able to "prove" that you couldn't go one ahead and that usually relies on the "ending" revelation but it still leaves the rest of...

Learned it, perfected it, will never perform it really, especially as a color change where you want people to watch you, the "stiffness" and hand position, plus angles and opportunity to flash is not worth it for me If you are practicing in front of a mirror, or on camera, make sure you check...

I had to look up what "cubist" was, I'm just a Rez kid(not Kid as in Age), I don't know what these words mean ;)

most attempts at emotion are completely unauthentic I look at it like this, are we storytellers that use magic to embellish our stories, or are we magicians/mentalists, etc that use words to embellish our "performance" I, as a performer, do not want to be a storyteller, I want magic and...

yes, personal satisfaction should be a goal, or why do it? but, doing a bunch of Juggling, or stiff obvious, unnatural unnecessary movements where an audience can say "they did something, we don't know how it works, but we can see what they are doing" is not "magic" it is "talent" there is a...

Thinking about this more, "astonishment" or the feeling of "astonishment" can be enough of a "feeling" this is times when over-scripting, or this long drawn out presentation trying to convey a certain emotion and the audience doesn't get that emotion and the effect just ends flat since each...

yes, 100% and something I should have clarified in my reply love him, hate him, critiques or not, David Blaine is a prime example of a minimalist approach to magic, where people can still "feel something" condensed down into the "moment of astonishment" without endless amounts of unnecessary...

Osterlind has a routine which uses the Breakthrough Card System with the One ahead principle what makes it convincing is they pick the card but never look at it until the end after everything is already written down so so in their mind there is no way you could know the card either

Magic/Mentalism etc is one of the only performances where the apparent "techniques" shouldn't be celebrated unless you are going for a "technician" approach, Gambling demonstrations, Hustler, or "psychologist mentalists" etc let's take something like dance or singing, people can watch dance and...

"Nothing is more to me than myself." - Max Stirner

Over 20+ shows/events canceled already, filmings postponed, consulting postponed... now it's seeing how long before I am houseless... again I have always stayed away from "social-media" but, we'll see...

Go with it... one thing many performers overlook is appearing as if you don't have a pre-set "routine" with choreographed moves that you have practiced and perfected so nothing will "go wrong"

Sounds like growing up.. and we couldn't even afford basic needs... can barley now Forks or Razor Blades

Show him "Gator Boots"

There are Many magicians of the world who can compete and some probably better than those you mentioned that will never get the recognition. or they don't worry about the recognition because they are focused on Performing and the "Magic" which many performers forget.. we are doing "Magic"

Magicians are some of the least supportive people towards other Magicians. especially the "Outsiders". there are so many cliques and exclusive circles. There seems to be this Stigma that if a Magician doesn't "Fool" another Magician than they are inferior... Magicians hardly watch other...

Lovely, essentially we could set-up potential Miracles for each other

Congratulations, i always love to see Performers of our Art getting recognition and exposure
