Your website looks smart. If you are trying to attact prospective clients you might want to change the wording though. Usally your profile is given in the 3rd person. Rather than saying "I love performing magic", it should be "Steven has a passion for giving a great performance". Also the...

Its not bad and generaly handled well. The only crits i would make are dont do the big dick joke for a lay audience. Some people might find it funny but those who dont could be insulted. Try to have some "why" to the routine. Dont just keep saying "let me show you". It starts to get...

Dont get phazed by this. Its just the stupid and emotionally imbalacned (i do have a better word) peoples way of coping. What ever you say dont be smart though.

Dont worry, its not you. It human nature. Sometimes people see you agian and go mad for more, other times they dont seem to be bothered. The best way to end is on your strongest routine. That what people tend to remember.

There is no feeling like it! I can never understand why so many "magicians" never perform apart from those who are close to them. Performing is addictive and you will get a fantastic reputation! Good work.

It looks like he has got wind, not riding it. I cant believe people put this kind of dross on the web. Its embarassing!

Dont worry. I startted at 29. Still doing it at 37!!! And getting paid too!! Some people retire at 65 and take it up. G

Try different types. thats all i can say. you might want to look at the original item an make a comparision. I only tried it once and it was difficult

You have made and excellent point. I perform 2-3 times a week so have reasonable experience. I'm happy to offer advice but i have to say that if your audience are happy and astounded then you are doing something right. I will also say that there are good ways of doing things and better than...

Sounds like your in magic for the right reasons. If its what you want to do then dont worry about the advantages and disadvantages of being seen as a magician. Being shy isnt going to stop you being a great performer and magician. Just get out there and do it. The main thing is to enjoy...

If you are doing a show reel that you can show to prospective clients, i would drop any footage of you just doing tricks and do ALL live stuff. Any body who is thinking of hiring you will want to see how you perform as this is what they are paying you to do. The reactions will speak for...

What do you want to get out of your magic?

Are we talking about the same move here. To my knowlage (very little) you are moving the bottm packet of the deck as opposed to the top as in the classic.

Looks really good. You might want to put the text on seperate lines. Just makes it easier to read. If you shop around print companies and ask if they have digital print systems like Indigo. These are like giant desk top printers that have very high quality and can print on good card stock...

You can download a really good piece of software called essential PIM. This has a good notes section as well as schedue (calander) and contacts and remininders/to do. There is a free version which i used for a couple of years and then brought the profesional version. You can run it from a...

I dont actully turn over the deck unless i need the cards face up. I stop when the deck is vertical and just leave my hands looking relaxed.

I use the herrmann(turnover) pass alot. Can you post a vid or send something to me? It is taught on the dvd On the pass by Kaufmann also. G

Presentation is very important. This will go a long way to make your routines stronger. I agree with what you say that some routines are not very good. The trend i notice is that alot of magicians like routines that they can rely on the effect rather than developing entertaining patter and...

For tables with kids I start with sponge balls. Adults seem to expect that you are there for the kids first. With my routine you can involve 3 different kids. I also use breakaway wand for the kids who are too young to do sponge balls or children I couldn't reach. I have adapted some card...

Work out what it costs you to do the gig (transport etc). Add on something to let you develop (buy new DVDs etc). Think realisticaly what you would bring to the resteraunt as a comodity and add all 3 together. If you are new to the resteraunt scene then you might have to try working...
