And yet everyone performs the same tricks differently. It is an interesting way of looking at it.

I hear what you're saying about arranging actual gigs Luis but it's just a holiday. While my friends are on the beach or in the swimming pool I'll be performing 1 trick for 1 euro or something. It's more of a learning experience than finding proper work. Thanks for the confirmation. I read...

I know Rob, I like a few of the T11 t-shirts but for the price of them after shipping to the UK I can get 4 or 5 of my own custom t-shirts printed.

I expect more than that from you Luis. I'm glad you found it funny but performing for money on the street is considered begging in many areas of the world. I ask for advice on this because being arrested in Spain would be serious, I'm glad it's a joke to you though.

Looking at going to Ibiza for a week with friends and I fancy busking on the beach or on a busy street. Does anyone know of laws in Spain? The last thing I want is to get arrested in a foreign country for what is essentially begging.

Not a fan of the design but it is pretty cool. I'd like to have a small range of "magic clothes" that are very cultish so if we see someone wearing it we could give the nod, like in fight club.

Classic trick. I know that's not what you meant but thinking about pulling out a magician's insurance policy when someone is having a problem made me smile. And when working with a crew, that is any kind of crew not just magic, there should be at least 1 first aider.

Performance can't be faulted 4/5 No speech or patter? 1/5 No Hollywood production values with Chris Mayhew pulling faces in the background? 1/5 Overall opinion of your video; There's nothing wrong with it but there's nothing really right with it. Cool to show friends and family that may not...

Age has it's pro's a con's. As mentioned, some people will applaud you for performing at your age (if you're good that is) but some won't take you serious. I worked a variety of events between 15 and 16, I'm now mid-twenties and a full time magician. I stopped "working" when I was younger for...

Some pretty nice moves in there. Definitely worth pursuing.

Some people might not class it as a flourish these days but boomerang card is one of the only flourishes that looks good on stage because everyone can see it clearly.

I wouldn't call it hilarious but it's good. Reminds me of the "new" Jerry's that were done last year, the queens slippers or something.

The crazy woman you filmed in Vegas that stole Patrick Kun's bag, do you think she was a spy working for one of your competitors?

The thought of all the hyperactive kids having fits over that email made me smile.

I would also suggest Bobo's, it's where I started. If you prefer to learn from DVD's Metal is a good choice (as DavidTang said) but expensive, you can probably get something like David Roth coin DVD's relatively cheap these days.

You're wrong. In regards to saying those business cards are just gimmicks, in business a gimmick is often referred to as a USP and your USP is the reason people choose to book you over another magician. I really want to post a picture of my cards but I'd prefer to stay anonymous.

I use Jerry's and Dune's at gigs.

I don't mean to offend you William but your card is not minimal and far from professional, it looks like you've used clip art. Where do skull and crossbones come in to magic? Look here for real inspiration of business cards http://businesscarddesignideas.com/ Remember that good business cards...

I'm afraid I'm no use to you then anyway! If you want a bigger competition why not try the next FISM :p

It's a hard thing to suggest when I don't even know your country, let alone area of a country.
