    Unveil - A New Effect

    Let's be real for a second here. Most demos we see are misleading. Hell, even HYPE surrounding an effect can be misleading. (PH's Little Man) If anything, the video was shot how MOST demos of effects are shot: Wobbly camera, cuts in and out, fancy graphics, etc... Mike

    Unveil - A New Effect

    The entire problem with the video is the "fancy" editing used. Leave the cuts, the edits and fancy titling to the pros. If you are trying to get an effect out on the market, you need to understand that these companies do not care about what editing software you use. They want to see the...

    Jokes in Card Magic

    What is that all about dude? That was a pretty harsh comment. Actually it was a comment that wasn't needed at all. I'm not sure what sort of "magic" you are in to, but rest assured that I would never comment so negatively about something me or others on here make a career out of... Mike

    Jokes in Card Magic

    Saying Bill Malone's lines are "stupid and forced" is one of THE silliest things I have ever heard. Bill Malone is a GENIUS at what he does. And he can get away with a lot of his lines BECAUSE of who he is. He uses his weight and looks to his advantage; coming on to very attractive females. And...

    Locked and Loaded

    Thoughts on Little Man by Paul Harris?

    Over 19,000 views on the Little Man thread over at the Magic Cafe would SEEM like quite the hype. It all came from the promise of a demo that never showed up until just yesterday...which was supposed to be available over a month ago. Add that to the equation that they were taking pre-orders...

    Want to start - CARDS

    Well then I suggest looking into PRISM and 13 Steps for the mentalist route. Maybe some other mind magi out there would want to throw in their two cents and help a brotha out... Wanna be like Finney? He has a great 3 DVD set out from L&L Publishing. But in reality, Finney started off in stand...

    Astonishing Trick!

    Hey guys... Dan is 125% correct. I perform magic 4 nights a week and I use LIT 2 times a night in my gigs. This effect KILLS. You need to have this in your repertoire or Dan will punch you in the stomach. Just kidding...you don't NEED to have this. Actually you do! Just kidding x2, Dan will...

    Don't Waste My Time

    I have a good friend who just walked up to a random person and asked to show him some magic. And guess what, he ended up booking a HUGE paying gig that next month. I have booked some decent paying gigs just showing "a few cards tricks"...I suggest you read Jeff McBride's Magician 24/7...

    Don't Waste My Time

    Again...it is all in the way that you introduce yourself and segway into you being a magician. It doesn't matter what you perform magic WITH. Though I do feel one should be versed in all areas of magic, cards are more common than you think. (I am pretty sure almost all bars I have ever performed...

    Don't Waste My Time

    Your #1 I HIGHLY disagree with. If you know HOW to introduce YOURSELF, then you can pretty much get away with pulling out any sort of magical piece and perform it for someone. What would YOU rather watch? --- A. Some random person walks up to you and says "Hey, wanna see something neat?" B...

    The Pros & Cons of Magic on Camera

    Oh, and I guess most importantly, people pay you $ for your magic... As far as I know, cameras do not. But it is 2010 now...ANYTHING is possible :) Mike

    The Pros & Cons of Magic on Camera

    If you aren't using any tricky editing then the answer is simple... You cannot misdirect a camera lens. But if the sole purpose of performing in front of a camera is for your own personal gain. Meaning, for practice and rehearsal...then a video camera is where it is at! Mike

    Art of Astonishment

    There are people who are born with natural abilities. Artists who paint and draw, singers who can belt out at age 4, musicians who can create and recreate any piece of music, and yes, even magicians. I look at someone like Daniel Garcia and say that he was born with a natural gift to create...
