People have already talked to him about this when he did that video of him trying perform for his family at a freaking bowling alley. Eventually what you became R.K. Is an attention whore. You've whored out yourself and magic too often that even when people ask for it, it's now nothing...

If you really want to know how to do restaurant magic, I'd suggest you start scripting a solid act and also do some research on marketing and other stuff. Because like Luis said, it's more than just doing a bunch of tricks and then moving on. You have to know how to market yourself AND the...

Sometime later down the line learn how to use a toppit and you'll be able to vanish and produce just about anything.

I wouldn't recomend Michael Vincents DVD's, his stuff is meant for people who have some experience with cards and are usually in the intermedaite to upper level of skill. I am going to do what most here haven't done. What books/DVD do you ALREADY own? And are you able to actually perform the...

You could do it, just with an ID or Brainwave. Though I wouldn't temp Chatroullete. You'd end up doing a trick for a guy jerking off with kermit the frog or a dude in a ski mask humping a real doll.

Toby, Toby Toby. You have completely missed the point of being an entertainer (weather you do this for friends or for paid gigs.). The point isn't to make people believe you can do REAL magic (and if you wanted them to believe that, even if to just suspend their disbelief for a few min.) that's...

It's not hard to resist if you don't pay attention to whats coming out and make it a goal to focus on what you got. I USED to be of the mind to buy something new every month, then I made it a goal to only buy something if I know it help me, If I can come up with a interesting presentation for...

He has a bad habit of trying to plug his own work nonstop. While he does have some great advice, I felt like I wanted to punch in the face for constantly trying to "hint" at buying his now out of print books.

Actually I wouldn't recommend An Actor Prepares. Sure it is a good book, but it is strictly meant for method actors and is an incredibly daunting and boring book at times, that most likely won't help you right now. I would suggest finding books on Public Speaking. I can't really name any. But...

The other thing is that most magicians also tend to rush it. I've seen most hurry up and do the reveal after they did the dirty work. I don't understand why they can't just do the dirty work, then simply continue with the presentation and THEN casually just pull out the wallet and reveal it...

Two of the best card to wallet effects I have seen don't have them sign the card at all. One is Michael Vincents brainwave my Way. They don't NEED to sign it, and the other is Jon Armstrongs My Opening Act. Both achieve similar things to making the routines connect with people and also avoid...

Yeah, I'd also suggest you script and think about what your going to say before you do it. I always hate it when magicians say what they are doing. It's like sitting there and watching a boring Power Point presentation. People can clearly see what you are doing, so you don't have to spell it out...

1. Slow down. 2. stop with swing cuts. 3. Relax and enjoy the moment. 4. You need to think about what you are going to say before you say it. All the "OK's" get's kind of annoying. 5. learn to simply overhand shuffle the deck maybe twice.. 6. Don't call attention to something that nobody is...

Actually you do. Otherwise you would have logged off and gone to do something more important if you didn't care what people on the internet think of you.

Correction, you'll both end up looking like little kids having a hissy fit over something silly.

Which is why my favorite TnR effect is pretty much Shawn Farquars. It's not a playing card that get's torn and restored, it's a photograph and at the end it's mismatched. So it has more of an impossibility. Go look up his performance of it on the Ellen show.

There are ways to get around having them sign the card. You simply have them pick from a face up deck, that way they know for fact what their card is and everybody else knows. You could simply also do this for the ACR. Because they will know that you DON'T have duplicates or anything because...

Pretty true. You have to remove yourself from magic ever once in awhile and make it so that people don't see you just as the "magic guy", and also so can learn to live a normal life. I highly doubt Wayne Houchin or Mike Ammar constantly perform 24/7 whenever they get the chance. I am sure they...

baller, please do keep your judgemental attitude toward yourself. I personally don't see anything wrong with them doing a holiday give away. Lots of magic and non magic sites do it every so often.

Fun Fact: EVERYBODY starts out as a trickster, and then eventually evolves (hopefully) into a magician. Note how I said "Hopefully". Because not everybody puts a lot of thought and effort into what they do. Some people are happy with learning new tricks/effects every month and, for them...
