Whatever method you use the most is the "most natural" force.

Here's what you should do before you even think of approaching the restaurant. Simply go and eat there, don't mention that you do magic or anything like that. Just go to the restaurant, eat and observe the staff and the place. Then when you are done, leave and be on your way. This will help...

Silly Billy has a ton of advice on how to handle kid shows. My one question is, how long have you been planning this? Because if you've just been thrown into it and aren't prepared and don't have anything planned. Well, then it's going to be a huge nightmare.

It was a nice effect though Webcam performances tend to be rather lack luster and boring, next time record a video of you actually performing for a group of people. Both of you need to stop acting like Divas and grow a pair.

Here's something to do.. Perform it for real people and record that performance.

Just practice it for 30 min a day and then take a break when you're hand starts hurting.

Shawn farquar has been on Ellen a few times and each time he's been on, he's done different thing that you wouldn't expect to see standard magicians perform. I think the reason a lot of TV performers don't do new and exciting effects is because they probably don't have the TV performance...

Some of the things Benji says is good advice but you can now start to see why in his videos he tends to be pretty vague about things like approaching a manager or anything like that, So he can get you to buy his 30 dollar E-Book. And the main problem is right now that he has a lack of experience...

Jay Sankey teaches it in Paperclipped though his version is more a shotgun speed version of it, but he does give some really good advice on how to properly perform it and learn it.

Well, speaking of scripts. They allow you to go off the beaten path but also allow you to still make the show go forward if you have a bad day or if something happens.

Try not to do it super fast, focus more on doing it smoothly and at a relaxed time.

Big Coin little Purse is one of the best coin effects I've seen him do (Though Imagination Coins is also very good too).

Will Smith is a different story, he went from being an OK rapper in his youth to meeting Quincy Jones and doing the Fresh Prince and then right when he got cast for ID4 his acting career pretty much went into over drive. He had all the right people around him to make his career even better. Not...

There really isn't a big secret with performing in public. You just have to get used to being the public's eye. I do however recomend rehearsing and practicing your stuff till you can do it blind folded. Once you get to a point where you can perform without having to think about the sleights or...

Among other things (Drugs, debt, Alcohol, bankruptcy.) Yeah, I went there. Typically Cage is ONLY good when he is allowed to be good and not just doing movie's to keep the IRS off him.

I don't know about that, what do you call it when a 7-11 clerk on welfare ends up winning the Lotto? I'd say that's "Luck". Yeah he had to go out and buy the ticket, but so do a ton of other people and he was the one in million that ended up winning it. Anyways, Luck is when proper planning...

The one thing you need to think about is Quality over Quantity. Also I don't know if it would be possible to focus on both, maybe it can be done but it would probably more than likely burn yourself out quickly. You need to focus on ONE group or target and just let the other one go. If kid shows...

One thing I would suggest is that before you start thinking you are ready to do this professionally, is to go to the local Children's Hospital and road test your material on them. You won't be getting paid for it, but you will be getting experience and you'll quickly know what works and what...

My other point is that sometimes magicians tend to use too many kicker endings to their effects and maybe in their mind it SEEMS good because of all the surprises, but in reality it can end up being dull and pretty annoying. I've seen a few effects out there that rely on having way too many...

Jami Ian Swiss mentioned the same thing in the book. I would say that it depends though, Sometimes unexpected kicker endings can work out really well and other times not so much.
