    CRUSH: Negativity!

    There are actually quite a few gimmicks you could hand out for examination. For one example, Eric Jones uses the Henry Evans Rising Card gimmick. After he is done, he hands the entire deck out for examination, with the gimmick still in the deck. I believe he has also let spectators grab on...

    In the entertainment industry, hundreds of scripts, auditions, submissions are made on a daily basis and are sent to casting agents, producers, even the actors themselves. For the auditions, they are looking for something specific, and will stop you mid-sentence if they don't like what they...

    t11.bulletin - SHINOBI CONTROL by Emran Riaz : Now Available

    An excellent magician named Joe Rindfleish, likes to also teach the "how does a spectator pick up something" approach...but at the same time think about this. WE are the magicians. WE are the hired entertainment, the kid at the party who knows magic, the volunteer to entertain at the...

    t11.bulletin - SHINOBI CONTROL by Emran Riaz : Now Available

    I am not sure who you perform for, but I would beg to say that 99% of my audiences have NEVER searched "magic secrets" on YouTube. Even if they HAVE, do you honestly think that thew will retain the information that was given to them? And besides, being it IS YouTube, they were probably shown the...

    About to start Bar Magic... advice?

    I will say that one has to be careful if you just perform it without asking. I had a friend do that to try to land a gig. He put the card up there and everyone was in awe. But when he grabbed the card, part of the ceiling chipped off of it too. Needless to say, he did not get the gig. I...

    Lennard Green Top Shot

    Eric Jones does teach the Top Shot very well... Matter of fact, I have seen more people pull off the Top Shot after one of his workshops/lectures than anywhere else. On one of Lennart Green's DVD in his set, he teaches the Top Shot. And negative to Paul Harris teaching it. Mike Mike

    United States Marines here... 02-06 2 combat tours to Iraq, 2 purple hearts. :) Boot Camp took me away from anything magic related. Then I went to MCT or Marine Combat Training. I was able to carry a deck of cards with me there...and any chance I had, I was performing for fellow Marines...

    Eric Jones Lecture

    Eric Jones, as we all know, is a phenominal magician. His lecture is no different. As a close personal friend, I have often travelled with him to a few different spots where he lectured. I can say this much: everyone pretty much agreed that his lecture was one of the top lectures they have ever...

    About to start Bar Magic... advice?

    As a rule of thumb, I try to make sure I have worked out with the owner(s), or Bar Managers a suitable time for me to perform. Also, while this is not necessary, consider going to bartending school to learn how to actually make the drinks. This way, when you perform a new bar, and speak to the...

    About to start Bar Magic... advice?

    I say whatever makes you that money...go for it! Personally, I do not bring out the cards or coins or whatever until I have spent a good amount of time building rapport. When I first started out, I would just have the cards in my hand, walk up to a table and ask if they wanted to see a trick...

    About to start Bar Magic... advice?

    Hey guys... I thought I would chime in here and give what little advice I have. For the record, I have been performing bar magic off and on for almost 10 years now, and my primary source of income comes from a 4 night a week, 2 shows a night gig. I may actually write a lot here, because this is...
