    Working Professionally

    Depends on where you are located but your rates don't sound too high to me to be honest. I think you just need to do more advertising. There are tons of free avenues aside from just social media marketing (craigslist, yelp, gig salad, gig masters, etc.) You can also take advantage of cheap paid...

    Bluff pass?

    This is one of those moves where if properly motivated and performed with conviction will fly very well. However, you need to understand misdirection and motivation and how they work together for it to work well.

    My First Kids Show

    Honestly about 4-5 effects is all you will need for that time slot. -Coloring book will be about 3-5 mins depending on how long you make it last. -Cups and balls can be as long or as short as you want it to be. Would make a great filler in case you feel like you don't have enough material to...

    America's Got Talent audition???

    Im testing new material with the invisible purse. May be a good time to bring it out to the public? It is mainly the sponge ball routine but the actual star of the show will be the purse. Producing different objects out of it then maybe ending with "double cross?" strong visual magic that...

    Why are fellow magicians so combative sometimes?

    IMO it is more of a social media issue than a magician one. People love to be keyboard warriors since there is not real human interaction. It is easy to be aggressive in your under where in bed with a beer in your hand lol. That being said, I love that you always stay so positive and do your...

    New trick in the making!

    Are you looking for credits i assume? I would start by thinking about where you got some of your ideas from. Even if it isn't the same type of effect, maybe you borrowed some ideas from different types of magic. Best to name the person and the effect at the least and if able source where they...

    Future of the marketplace! *POLL*

    For those keeping score at home, it looks like the people want more mentalism and magic with objects. Lets make that happen! I personally have a few more ideas coming to the MP soon! I will put my "Chop Cup" project to the front of the line!

    The Financial Side

    Everyone has a different experience with it, however i would suggest easing into it. Everyone thinks "WOW! I could make $500 a gig just for doing magic??? I'm going to be rich!!!" Then they book like 1 gig a month. There is a lot that goes into it that most people don't realize. To do magic...

    Had a Psychic Reading

    the cold read is dead on my situation. I suspect it is pretty common. I could say "I feel a lot of negative energy in a part of your life, like someone is hurting, is that correct?" Like DUH! of course there is some negative thing in my life unless i am perfect.

    Future of the marketplace! *POLL*

    To be fair just about all of my magic theory only stuff got rejected by the marketplace. the only thing that made it through was my EBOOK "How to Magish." and guess how many people have bought it in two months..... lol People don't really care much about theory unless they are already an...

    Back Palming seemingly hundreds of cards.

    You will want to look into "Card Manipulation." The infinite amount of cards coming from back palm is a fun little technique called "Split Fans." Id suggest looking into Jeff McBrides card manipulation books/dvds as they are industry standard as the best.
