If you think you will perform it and create settings where you can perform it, then buy it. It's genius. 1. Yes, absolutely NOTHING is attached to you. You can do this naked, although I doubt people will want to be close to you to perform it then. 2. Well it's not your heart technically, but...

Yeah I don't really call it a show either, but the effects went over really well. How did I know you would mention the Voodoo Doll? Haha. I'm kind of tight on money right now, but I'll check it out. There were about 20-25 kids I believe. Thank you for your support!

Thanks man! Glad I could get you pumped haha. I don't have a full "show" yet for kids, but those two effects play really well and can play out longer if you milk all the little moments the kids give you. I didn't say right away I could do it, I waited a while to make it seem like I had other...

Rick: I see where you are coming from, and price does play a big factor. I bought the disappearing deck (not Paul Harris's) from seeing it demo-ed in front of me and fooling the tar out of me. I bought it, played with it, and haven't used it since. Good thing it wasn't very expensive, but if it...

Two things I've heard about signatures that stand out for me are by Justin Miller and Wayne Houchin. Miller says that the reason for signing something is to make it the only one like it in that area at that time. If you borrow a ring from somebody, you don't need a marking because that is their...

Yeah thanks I did! I've seen different opinions on taking last minute gigs, but balloon animals aren't really something you need to script out haha.

Friday night I got a call at about 8:30 at night. It was a mom who says they saw me at Mellow Mushroom (the pizza place I perform at) a while back and I made balloon animals and did magic for their daughters. She apologized for the late notice, and wanted to book me for her daughters birthday...

The thing with this is that a method could be figured out if the whole effect is shown. The best magic is simple magic, and if something is fairly simple but still powerful enough to market (and doesn't use a gimmick) then some people would watch the trailer until the figure it out and then...

Agreed on every point. If I see an effect, I play out a few different presentations for it before I purchase it, just to make sure I'll be using it.

Rick, that sucks I'm sorry. But it's good not to dwell too much on one loss, or else you can't move forward. I know you didn't get one, but I was asking what kind of stuff you do when you do get a chance to audition. Christopher: It would look unprofessional because the restaurant would see...

subtle* (word count)

Awesome Rick, that sounds like a great place! That would be awesome if you can land that gig. What do you do for your "5 minute audition?"

Hello there, I just wanted to give a quick update from my previous thread "booya!" a while back. So Michael went to see Bebo Thursday night and he asked him what the situation was. Bebo said he doesn't want us until the nightclub is put in (reasonable.) That'll be in April. So yes it's a ways...

I posted a review about it Here So yes there is a gimmick, and yes you will go through multiple balloons to practice, but I have a way to lower the number, if you buy it you can pm me about it. Really you can't hand it out to the audience ever, but there isn't a need to. Michael gives a good...

Oh ok, gotcha. Well if it gets the job done then it will be a good investment. I'll look into that Vectra thread. I'll buy it once I actually start doing more thread work. Also, does anyone have any experience with DVDs or books that teach effects with loops? I mentioned two earlier and was...

Thanks for the replies guys! D Ice R: So for better thread what would you recommend? I know Dan and Dave have some invisible thread on their site. Redi: Thanks for the video. And 70 bucks to learn to tie loops? Is that ALL it teaches you?

I just got my first pack of loops in the mail and I can't believe I didn't get them earlier! Anyway, obviously they are a little hard to take care of if you're not careful, and I already broke one (whoopsie). Is there any place I can buy them in bulk, instead of just the typical 5 pack? Also, I...

Oh for sure man, that's going to be a regular worker of mine now!

For real man! Justin is super cool too, and getting able to talk to people who have connections can only help you out in the future.

Hey guys, not trying to bump this at all. But I just got done with my session with Justin and it was AWESOME! He took some ideas I had and brought them to a whole new level. I got a sneak peak of some new releases like Freedom Change which looks phenomenal. I want to thank you guys for the...
