I thought it was a good idea. Since it's mostly young kids doing these youtube videos, why not have the creators they look up to post how they feel about revealing?

If you have to tell them you're a pro, it doesn't really work. And if you're not a pro, it doesn't work either. You don't want to be like, "I'm a professional magician, I get paid so0o much money. WATCH as I amaze yo0u with my Magical skills!" If you are a pro, the way of telling them would be...

Wow, you only needed 6 tricks? That's pretty awesome. I thought you would need more, but this is making me a little more confident knowing I can do a strolling gig with 6 effects if it's a big party. Thanks for posting Rev, sounds like good times.

Rev, sounds like you had an awesome time man. I was given the option to go to his show, but had no one to go with. Bummer.... Sounds like it was amazing, glad you had a great time. That was respectable of you to say that you had no idea how the effect was performed and that the people...

Dam! That coin to key looked sick.

no prob, it was a good video.

The top shot was nicely done and the half vanish went really smooth. Good job, got my vote. ;) Also, I'm glad you didn't over show the queens in the beginning. Sometimes I see performances where they show 2 queens, then turn them face down, and they feel that they need to show them again...

Have one of your friends tell the waiter to "watch this" after you do a few tricks and get the staff to notice you. If you're good, they'll get their manager to show you off. It's happened before.

Alright, but possibly a pm? - this way I could read it now.

Dam, I'm guessing you can't get the thread back for me to read?

hmm, the thread link that you gave me didn't work. What happened?

I guess you can find something every once in a awhile among all the garbage. Here's for hoping-

What's this talk about beginning? This is why I don't post as much as I use to. It feels useless.

The real problem is no one wants to be a risk taker. They want fool proof effects that can't fail. Grow a pair! Also, I think we're failing to be more creative, and to me that has a lot to do with being a magician. Most guys out there only perform published effects from other artists. We...

Alright, so about 3 members posted in this thread, upon the 100's of youtube videos I see stating how magic is an art at the beginning of each video. Posers How is it that a thread on The Wire gets more replies than this thread when it's been posted 1,000 times on this forum before. Guys...

I didn't read through that thread yet, but this line made me remember a video from the David Blaine stunt : Dive of Death. http://media.theory11.com/1487-Dive-of-Death---Night-Two---JB-Inversion The one part at 1:40 I want you to watch is when Dan White askes Dan (a member) - not me, that...

No offense guys, but I doubt David Copperfield checks these forums. Wishing him happy birthday on these forums is like wishing Chuck Norris happy birthday. He's not gonna see it. Whatev, I guess the thought still counts.

In my 2D design class I was wondering what makes art - art. Sounds corny I know, but I'm really asking. . . Why do we see magic as an art form? Why are we trying to get more people to believe what we do is really art? We call magic art all the time, but has anyone called you out on it...
