Thank you for the feedback, as for the website, I believe my host is coincidently sorting out the servers. Which is why the website is down now :p Eeep!

Here is a design I have at the moment: http://www.stevenlevitt.co.uk/card/preview.gif I have shown people this business card, I quite like it as it is minimal and basically states my contact details. However, people do not seem to like the card design. I was hoping I can get some help...

Eeep, just had a look there, the title is pretty much the same too. Thanks for the reference, I will have a quick read now :) I agree with you both here too.

Ask the audience at the end if they liked it, and how you can improve. Don't be hurt if the comments are harsh hitting. They will help you strongly, and you can use them to build.

Advantages, and dis-advantages from learning magic. DVD's are great as you can see the magic in any angles you want now thanks to the technology. So you can see all the sneaky moves from behind etc. Which is good if you want to copy the move spot on. Books are great as you sometimes do not...

I used to do it when I was younger, they were good fun, addicting, I wouldn't know if they are a good way of exercising for magic. I would not personally recommend it.

Thanks for the ideas, please keep them coming, or expand :D

I think this is a good subject to talk about, and how learning magic is more accessible to the public nowadays which is good and bad as us magicians have an easier way of learning, but it can cause problems when a member of the public finds the secret.

This 30 minute presentation is for my university course and it has to be: "Engaging in a debate about a particular aspect of the performing arts" I am not wanting you guys to do my work for me, as I am capable myself, but I am looking for starting ideas, as I was hoping to create this...

I agree with these two.

Illegal to download copyrighted material. Full stop. I wouldn't like someone to download my magic effect DVD which I have paid for, created, took time to make, plan, and all the background behind it, for some rude magician to just download it illegally because he does not respect the art.

Any good ones you can recommend?

Yeah, and we can answer it as most of us are magicians. When I create a video, I will put the name of the trick, a link to the website I bought it from, also how much it cost me, also while I am at it I will attach the instructions on how to do it. I really think naming the effect for the...

Is it right or wrong to leave credits on videos? I have seen magicians who perform magic effects to a camera, and in the editing process in the credits they mention the name of the magician who created it (which is fair enough) and the name of the effect (which I feel is wrong). Is this...

What if you are not ready, and someone asks a question... Say you are at work, and your workmate asks when you are not expecting it, or when you are not prepared. How would you answer the question then?

Do you ever get asked: "Can you turn my 5 pound note into a 50 pound note?" "Can you make me float?" How do you answer hard magic questions? Please list common ones, and good answers for them.

I am not a popular member here, but I learn a lot, and I appreciate you (Theory11) to spend money in improving a good resource for magicians. Thanks!

I perform great magic with any deck of cards. I do not need to spend extreme amounts of money on a pack of cards which will wear out anyway just the same as my normal deck. On the other hand, if the deck was used by someone famous, or signed or any marking of a use of a famous magician...

Nice recommendations guys :)

If you had to recommend one thing to a magician that has to buy something, what would it be? Mine has to be the Tarbell Course in Magic.
