Again, it would most likely be a combination. Personality, style, work ethic, attitude, contacts, demand, opportunity...
I think this sums it up, Dan and Dave retweeted it yesterday I think:
While what you say is true Benji, I think you'll find a lot of really successful people had some good luck. Dynamo had a relative that let him tour America with her work, which gave him an international outlet for his magic. He randomly met someone from Adidas who loved his magic and not long...
There's been lots of moments like that in MagicianImpossible. So far I've seen the raven under his palm, total give aways to phone in bottle, a clear switch with a stooge and a couple others I forgot. No lay person will notice but I noticed these things instantly. I think the magic on this is...
It's fair to say that your two examples aren't good. David and Dynamo both performed for years before they got famous. I met Dynamo in Leeds, Blackpool and London back in early 2000 when he was completely unknown. While they are both highly talented they have both had a lot of luck with the...
His consultants probably have ties to T11 and E lolmanthe. It's blatantly something he puts on the phone because his hand looks so dirty before and after.
Not everyone wants to. Not everyone can. Worry about yourself before worrying about what others do, if they are happy doing magic for their webcam then let them. As long as they're not trying to make you watch it it shouldn't matter how they film their magic.
The Eric Jone's change was nice. I really didn't like the way you moved the card towards and away from the camera and I'm confused about the last bit, is it a vanish and reproduction? Is it a vanish and colour change? Did you throw the ace down then produce the 4?
For the record I doubt anyone thinks "oh my god i can't reverse card in my bee deck". Keep your options open as much as possible, always.
p.s, Steamboats are better than Bees!
It's fine, I was the magic consultant for that stunt. If you ever visit that lake you may even be lucky enough to see the bike riding itself on the water.
Some people like him, some don't. Some will love him forever, some will never like him. Some people will be jealous of his success because they don't like his style.
I could go on but my point is people will complain about anything and everything on the internet, whether it makes sense or not...
