Maybe this may help? :) It may be kind of basic, but a good starting point for anyone who would like to get started! The thing is there are so many ways to pitch yourself. You need to find what works best for you. My best advice is make it all about the restaurant. How can they benefit from...

Anything commercial honestly. If it is easy to perform and super visual it is your bread and butter on the street. Extreme burn and greed are my two favorite bill changes. :)

The full performance of the effect from start to finish with no interruptions looks like this: -Pull out an empty pack of gum -Produce the gum inside the pack -split the pack 2 times (ending with 3 packs) The beauty of the effect is that it all feels so impossible and with the right motivation...

Just to add on to what Tyler Scott said, basically Youtube will flag your video for violating copyright laws (music you do not have permission to use.) At the least, you will be unable to monetize your video (meaning make money from it using ads.) At worst your video will be muted meaning you...

It depends on the book. Some books are cumulative, meaning if you skip a chapter you may miss something important that you need to know for later on. If it is merely a book that teaches effects and they are in no real order, I will look at the ones that stand out to me :)

I am sure you have seen my video on "The Importance of Theming Your Magic." But just in case you have not I will go ahead and leave it here! Maybe it may help inspire some creative ideas? You can use magic you already know but theme it to fit the event you are doing! (i.e. my pokemon card...
