    Michael O'Brien Interview

    Definition of a Magician

    Urban Dictionary is only good for looking up slang. I don't know if kids these days know what a taco is besides the delicious Mexican food version. Look it up if you're curious. I wouldn't use Urban Dictionary to define words that already have a clear definition. Look at Urban Dictionary's...

    Michael O'Brien Interview

    Sorry for the double post. Questions I would ask any magician: 1. How do you make your magic meaningful? What is your approach? 2. Can magic be both meaningful and comedic? 3. In one word, what is the current state of magic? 4. Personally I think Magic/Performance Theory shouldn't be sold on...

    Outdated tricks

    Least memorable, but not least enjoyed. There was a question at the end of that section of the article: "If they enjoy what you do, does it matter if they remember specifics?"

    How do you go from "a guy who knows a few tricks" to a "magician"?

    "I'm Korean and you're Vietnamese, but to the rest of the world, we're Chinese" If you're performing tricks for entertainment, the masses will call you a magician. They're familiar with that term, so if you look and do the things of a magician...you're a magician. To answer your question...

    Classic pass, THE right moment.

    Push the pinky further in as you bring your hands together to execute the pass. Once you have cover from your right hand, just stick the little guy in there ;).

    Last Week's SNC (woops)

    I forgot I made a video for last weeks SNC and never uploaded it. Thought I'd share just cuz why not. Not sure if these variations/applications already exist. I learned Roy Walton's Color Change from Bill Goodwin on ArtofMagic and never did any further research. This is just what naturally came...

    Does clickbait work?

    I don't think clickbait means an outright lie. Clickbait is just the modern version of a term/phrase that already existed: yellow journalism. Which is journalism that relies on sensationalism and exaggeration to make sales. An outright lie would be clickbait too, but also eye-catching headlines...

    not approved by theory 11

    1. You almost drop the Ace of Spades at :16. I would start over until you execute the moves flawlessly. Not even just the sleights, but everything. 2. I would try thinking of another way to catch the multiple card break. It is way too obvious. Remember a layman might not notice this, but you...

    Magic Lessons.

    I don't think an opinion can be wrong. I can disagree, but that doesn't make it wrong. I think you said some interesting things that might generate a discussion, so I summarized it a bit so people could more easily digest it. I looked into your "explanations" as I summarized it. I don't think I...

    Magic Lessons.

    Not trying to be rude, but there was a lot said so I made a tl;dr for this guy. -Would not like classes. Magic is not like physics. Mnemonic for learning law of gravity will work 93 percent of the time, but not magic. How you perform tricks depends on magician. -Magic classes will help develop...

    what about patter

    Hmm. I just performed it and it slayed. Granted you're from a different time, different friends, and different humor. The cheap reaction is what I was going for. I wanted to play with the idea of fragile masculinity. Not every performance has to be incredibly meaningful. Sometimes it really can...

    what about patter

    Long post incoming, but this is how I go about scripting some simple tricks. I'm coming up with this as I type it. The way I like to come up with a script is first starting off with where and who I want to perform for. I find myself always meeting new people through friends of friends and...
