Polka. It's unique and they say what's old is new again. Bring back polka. It's the new dubstep.

Another idea: With the upcoming sale on Charity:Water cards to raise money for a great cause, what about a SNC about doing good. In similar fashion to other SNC's they have a block of time to helps someone in need (outside of your daily chores). This could be helping a grandparent, helping out...

Murray is great. The only other one on this side of Canada is Brent's shop Vanishing Rabbit (www.VanishingRabbit.com) in Calgary AB.

Good thoughts Toby. Those are good things to pick up on and ask about our own presentations. I will say that not all magic Needs to do all of these things. It doesn't always need to involve spectators. Some examples would be most large stage illusions, Shawn Farquhar's 'shape of my heart'...

I know there has been a couple of threads on this topic since 2007, but I was just reflecting on my last gig (a wedding reception) and thinking back to how far my appoach has come since I started doing performances. By approach I mean how you approach and introduce youreself to strangers to...

There hasn't been a contest to "make an effect using some of these random ojects" in a while.

It's bad if it gives you a bad start, and a lack of appreciation for the history, depth, and professionalism of the artistic side. Magic does not need more secrets revealed. At EMC this year Paul Daniels made some REALLY strong and significant comments about the maked magicain shows. His words...

You're right Randy, you've got to be careful with people. This guy just sounded embarrassed(?) about what the club was about. I wish I had time to type out the whole conversation and my thought process. It was pretty funny.

Are you getting at what it means to be entertained? (does it mean to simply laugh, have fun, think deeply, etc?) An entertainer is someone who entertains. Or are you getting more at the question what is good entertainment?

You know the adage "You get what you pay for"?... Well in magic, youtube tutorials are the slough of magic. Granted you don't always have to pay to get quality magic, but aside from the exception on youtube, you are not going to find good material, teaching, handling, presentation etc. You...

Hey all, I thought I start this because I just had to share the call I got last night, and in light of Ricks interesting gig. What is the strangest/oddest/funniest/most unique place you have ever performed (or been asked to perform)? I have a new one. Last night I get a call from a...

I'm wondering if perhaps the Archive has something to do with crediting and history of moves and effects. Sort of a wiki of magic history? Just what came to my mind when I saw the picture on instagram.

Awesome stuff. Good read as always.

As I mentioned I get what you are saying about taking responsibility for what you can control. However I work where clients are paying me to be and I need to adapt to the environment. And example would be weddings. When glasses start clinking in the middle of the tricks, you have to stop and...

Ha ha, that sounds awesome! I've done lots of charter bus magic when our youth group goes on trips. You need to face forward and work your way back, doing a row or two at a time. You will need more material than usual because like dravan mentioned, the bus isn't THAT long. Perhaps doing a couple...

Sorry Luis, a bit off topic, but as you described you dancing cane, I thought how funny it would be to put on a darth vader helment and cape during an act and float a lightsaber.

heh nice find.
