I think the reason 13 steps scares people is because it wasn't really written has a book. It's just Corinda's notes all complied together and his thoughts on a lot of things. Plus I've heard that a lot of the material is out dated.

What exactly is Symphony? is it a single DVD or another set like the DG Project.

Well if you're MacGyver (which most magicians are.) then coming up with a prop or a gimmick on the spot shouldn't be a problem.

Pretty much ANYTHING can be a prop or a gimmick, so the question itself is flawed.

So you're a puppet? You just dance whenever somebody says so? If you don't want to perform, you don't have to. Just because they ask for something, doesn't mean they will get it. "We can't all get what we want."

Is there sure fire mentalisim? I always figured that ALL mentalisim was suggestion based and about making gut decisions and going with the flow. Rather than being 100% sure fire like a Rifle or hindu shuffle force.

Nah, just dumb luck. I don't know how big the house was. But if was the a single story condo, the worst case would be a sprained ankle and maybe that's it. There are a lot of kids who do crap like that in the "Backyard Wrestling" type things and they suffer worse injuries than anybody.

This is usually why I hear a lot of pro's say to read a lot of books. Doesn't matter what exactly they are on. But to just to read a bunch interesting books. It'll make you more cultured and most likely make it so you don't look like a guy who can just do magic tricks.

Well there ARE miracles in the world. Just this is really one of them. It's not like he fell into a wood chipper and the machine instantly stopped. He was simply locked out of his garage from what I can tell.

There is nothing to get over, sense I didn't misquote you. I quoted everybody who had that thought. Ok, Sally.

OK so you're talking about people who do XCM or the "current" gen of people who do card magic. I figured you were talking about ALL guys/girls who specialize in cards. IE: even the guys who have been doing it before the Bucks or Criss Angel or David Blaine hit the scene. In that case...

And they probably see what you do as boring as sin. But that's just your personal opinion and most opinions are like armpits.

So you're saying that even things like gambling demonstrations, Mentalisim with cards and other such card effects like that are good for kids parties. Cards don't scream magician.. But anyways, I'd suggest you learn some things from Bob Cassidy's Fundimentals and use that stuff as often as...

Also another thing is that you shouldn't HAVE to perform for anybody if you don't want to. If you let people decide when you perform (besides when they pay you for a gig.) you are pretty much letting them pull your strings and saying "Dance puppet, Dance!"

I'd like those who think it's sad that people enjoy cards to look up Dai Vernon or Ed Marlo. Both of those guys specialized in card magic till their dying days. I know this pissed Steerpike off but I don't care. Bill Malone also makes a killing by doing card magic (he charges like 50k a show.)...

Isn't 25 bucks an hour a little... too little. Lets say that you work there for awhile and find a better gig. Some other guy comes around and decides to work there but he charges more. "Well, the LAST guy worked for 25 bucks an hour plus tips." You're pretty much short changing the next guy that...

Depends on how old you are. If you are in College you could lie and say that your are majoring in Marketing and just say that you are there to advertise and market the place a bit more. You could essentially say the same thing without the majoring in part even if you are 15-whatever. Tho I...

Yeah that sort of makes sense. Here's another one. Why did Fox put The Masked Magician RIGHT after a magic show.. One thing I want to see is somebody do the running man or the robot during a show. Yeah I know that'll never happen, but just the thought of it and the image of the audience with...

And the first performer did a quick change routine which was fine up until him and his wife started dancing around on stage for no reason at all. I sitting there like "Ok.. What's the freaking point of dancing around on stage.. Just do the damn effect.." I mean maybe it's because I am tainted...
