Now i am interested in this, could you direct me to the source of where this can be found? Thanks. I always carry my bag with me, but sometimes i would forget my cards. One of the things i would do (which i learnt from Wayne's daily update) is asking them to choose a number between one and...

That was motivation aJohnson, it wasn't a spiteful comment. C'mon now, we're on the same boat here. Btw people, when you were performing, did you not encounter any difficulties? Not only your part, with the method, patter etc, but the audience part as well - how well were they listening...

Anyone interested in expounding concepts and material should defo pick this up. Also the journals inside by various artists are great insightful reads.

I will join everybody shortly.

Yup. No rush man. For the Greater Good.

What kind of effects do you most enjoy performing first?

You shouldnt name your video a title of an effect, what if 5 people were doing the biddle trick, and on the list there were 5 biddle tricks? That would be confusing. Lets called it: Performance Debriefing. I would start the topic, but i dont have any quality videos i can show. So which...

What i ment was, if people were to post this, then its would be like submiting to a new post. Each post would provide a link or some critique of other people's video. A new topic should be started.

It would look somewhat like this: [link to the video would go here] Title of Performance: (IE Breaking minds at the park) Effects performed: (here you would name all effects done in the video) Audience: (you could talk about the audience here - age, what they were doing before you went...

Also we could have it in formatted mode - with the description of the effects performed in the video, the sort of people we performed for, how we approached, the difficulties during performance, and stuff like that.

Friends, it's Shak, not Shank. Shank is knifing somebody. Shakutau is just a soul among a million souls. Although i did get the inspiration from the name: Shas'O Kais from warhammer, and Silva from Shaman King.

This is also a great idea for you lazy dragons who dislike debriefing yourselves after each performance, or believe to have done a great job. There was topic just a while ago (entitled "A New Idea") - which Dylan P gave the idea of using two notebooks, one of them was to write down our...

My name is Shakutau, not to mistaken for Shanku on the forums.

*applaud*, i fully enjoyed watching that performance. I have an idea people, how bout we create a topic on people's live performances or something, this could be a weekly thing where we get to watch other people perform for real people, real time. That way, we could get proper critiques...

OwnerM, i really enjoyed reading that. That story you gave was a good example of quality magic. Which we almost always forget about when we perform magic. And you've pointed out something, that magic starts to leak it's taste when you open up your mind to the boundless variations of an effect...

the hell happened there?

If given good amount of thought, even Lapse would do good in this one.

Have you ever considered using cards? There are a few effects such as Back In Time (triumph) and the Time Machine by i think Steve Freeman or something. Or if you want to take it some step further, you could do a visual torn and restored piece of magic (your choice of visual or not so visual)...

I had a friend (who was Indian btw) who was playing chinese chess with another one of my friend - now these two guys are from very different cultures to one another and myself, as i was the one who taught them how to play this version of chess. When they began playing, they had not dared...

I know this is quite off topic but, i really liked the advice given there.
