Fantastic advice. A similar rule applies to corporate walk around. Starting a bit later than the time doors open is always better. And many client haven't done this and don't know that. It is part of offering good service to clients to let them know. :-) As usual, I appreciate your sharing.

Indeed. Plus you need to know how to network properly and effectively for it to be worth it. However for my friends (and I would define that as people I spend my time with-not Facebook definition, or acquaintances) I would offer a free (or at cost) show. They are not out to take advantage of me...

For a friend's family I would do a free show. For a friend's business I would give them a discount. I may do a modified show, use it as an opportunity to try new effects etc. If I can be a blessing to someone, I will. It's more important to me than making a buck. If I'm doing an event for them...

They are not just coming for music, they are coming to be entertained. :-)

I assume like other snc's we can enter more than once, so here's another go. This time using some invisible elastic bands. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-zLcufkY0A&feature=youtu.be

Just having a bit of fun with it. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mviWcSAt35g&feature=youtu.be

Great vid. I think you will drum up some interest for sure. I didn't have much time to reply to the other thread, but the course might be good for new kids because the course starts off pretty basic. I was thinking a DVD might be pretty interesting too (Like penguin's beginner dvd). Watch just...

Hey thanks! Chris has some super funny ones too!

You could simply work through Tarbell's magic course together. It's like prewritten curriculum.

Hey all, I found this article while browsing around and naturally read it. Pretty straightforward memory techniques, but thought I'd share - especially for those not familiar with the technique as it applies to anything. Enjoy...

I think a bigger part of it is not fear but rather the enlightenment if society. However I think that may overshoot the intensions of the op. For me if I could really do something superheroesque, I would want to fly, teleport, psychokinesis, or create/manipulate fire. :)

Lots of ideas in here already. I really enjoyed Steve Cohen's last podcast, and he talks about how for him he creates a fantasy, and invites people to suspend their disbelief in magic and enjoy the fantasy. I think this is a beautiful way to look at our craft. Much like writing a book and...

Keep in mind, the term Christian is a very wide spread one with many different beliefs under that umbrella. So while Craig is informed, you can't paint all with one stroke. But I Googled Halloween decorating ideas and there was some interesting stuff. Also I had one friend back in high school...

Hi Steve, My wife and I loved your Waldorf show when we saw it a few years back. It was also a real pleasure to meet you. My question is in your research, (knowing the secrets behind them) which effect did you come across that was the most dangerous for magicians to perform? (highest...

How do you think it looks? I love this effect and I do it every time I perform. It's tricky because about 1 in 30 times someone I show it to knows how it's done. Either they have seen it done poorly, they got one in a kids magic set, or they have seen it exposed on one of many popular movies...

I use Wix ($8.25/month). Easy to set up (though it's not finished). They have html 5 now too. Much cheaper, though sometimes that can show. I host with Godaddy for $12.99 per year (less than two dollars a month). If you're not into web stuff at all, then $75 is a fine deal. And perhaps, even...

The trick is do one trick and stop. Only do more if it's a routine thing. When they ask for another, simply say "later". When they ask for a previous effect, and you don't want to do it again, say "I already did that one. If you like I can show you something different".

Usually between 7-8 eastern Time. Not guaranteed to be an exact start time, but that is more typical.
