Look up anything by Silly Billy. He has a few books that give great advice when it comes to Children's Parties.

Why not just support the guy who put the time and effort into making one of those bottles properly. This whole thing reminds me of my great grandfather wanting to save money when we were adding two extra rooms to our old house. He had the chance to hire the builders who do it for a living and...

That does sound weird (even though I use a digital watch). It shouldn't be hard to put to look at it and see what each hash mark means.. But this could probably be because they were poorly educated or just never taught how to do so. The girl on the cell phone thing seems like she just was...

You ever see Total Recall (the Arnold version) or Inception? That's primarily why I do it. To get people to experience something that will open up their minds and question reality.

People only try to ruin you because you come off with a challenging attitude or tone. Not to mention your misdirection, timing and presentation is probably nonexistent. Once you learn how and WHEN to do a move at the right moment, you can get close enough to making it appear like you didn't do...

Quick question, has the client cleared this with the charter company? Because if not the company won't like the idea of somebody (You) being a safety hazard by blocking the rows. Seeing has the many times I've road on the bus, they always tell you not to block the rows, and what you are going to...

Generally speaking most Charter buses aren't that big and usually the seats have built in tables on the back of the other seats to set (laptops,books, etc) on. Though for performing on, they most likely wouldn't work for you because you wouldn't have any room at all to set up or do anything on...

The other problem here is that most charter buses (Greyhound/Amtrak) have pretty much zero wiggle room. Therefore going from row to row is going to end up being a lot quicker than most gigs because of the space involved on the bus. The thing about this gig that sounds bad is essentially the...

Sounds like an odd gig, because I don't think many people are going to want to continue to see magic TWICE if they are sitting on a bus for a two hour ride.. How exactly would one do "strolling" magic on a bus? Do you just go from seat to seat up and down the rows? Because if that is the case...

The two of them are two completely different sleights that offer different things. With decent Riffle stacking you can actually "Fake" a 2nd or bottom deal and do much more with it than simple poker demonstrations. Though the Bottom deal does allow for a few other options as well. I would...

You need to learn to speak up and speak clearly and directly, also while maintaining eye contact as well. This isn't just something with magic either, it also deals with life in general. The thing with people not remembering their card is pretty much on you, which is an easy fix. Just tell them...

Normally people don't ask this question, because I don't practice card sleights out in the streets or in public. But let's say for arguments sake that somebody knows that I do magic. Well, I would tell them that I'll do something for later on this week or next. Then when the time came, I would...

Overhand shuffle /jog control.

This is going to sound mean, but you expect us to give you something for nothing? The books mentioned cheap. Hell, look up Royal Road to Card magic, it's like 10 dollars tops and has good advice in it. If you can't afford that, then you're obviously a lost cause.

For many years I would keep things in the closet in a small box to keep people from trying to touch everything I have. But now I use a tall book case for my books and DVD's, the small props and cards (which isn't a lot.) are kept in the entertainment center drawers behind my video games and well...

This depends on the kind of turnover you are doing. Some are more knacky than others, while some are also very easy and natural looking. But just practice it slowly and you should end up getting it soon enough.

Bad lighting and looked like a standard Side Steal... Which I am sure I saw Paul Cummings teach on his DVD and am pretty sure Marlo probably described it in his book. The change it self just seemed stiff has a board and didn't really look like anything amazing happened, and I am sure most...

While those books are great, they don't really give the person any experience on the subjects. Which is why I would suggest taking Public speaking classes or attending a Roast Masters seminar. These would boost his self confidence a lot more than those two books and give him the experience that...

Take a public speaking class, because 90% of people have a fear of speaking in public and when you are performing, you are essentially speaking in public. Once you get over that hurdle, then just remember that when you perform.. That you are human and allowed to make mistakes.

I don't understand the concept of bringing your own deck of cards with you when you go on vacation. Seeing has how Air ports sell decks of cards, grocery stores and so does Wal-mart of places like Tesco. Usually if I go on vacation, I tend to just bring a kindle with me and maybe a note book...
