Understandable :) You don't have to teach magic. Advice for magicians may be more your thing than actually teaching tricks! :) Thank you for taking a look!

I agree 100% I have 4 weeks of posts scheduled to release automatically so in case i fall behind i give myself room to catch up.

My current blog is geared towards beginning magicians who want to become better performers and maybe even go pro! Not sure if it is up your alley or not, but at the very least maybe you will draw some sort of influence for it for your blog! http://www.obrienmagic.com/blog Also if you every...

Give it some time, haha he is a busy man and may not be able to respond right away. :)

This may help? :) ...and this? ......and maybe even this to generate leads! Hope the mods don't mind me sharing! if it's too much please feel free to take them down, but they may be helpful to someone who wants to start doing magic professionally! ;)

As long as you have permission to share the effect. If not then you have no right to teach or reveal it.

I have yet to see any real fights or drama on here. lol the magic cafe is a breading ground for it it seems sometimes.

How about you ask him? Email him personally or reach out on social media. I am sure he would appreciate you asking first. The phrase "Better to ask for forgiveness than permission" does not really apply when it comes to crediting. A lot of creator have lost face for "stealing" material.

Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it! :D

Great quote though! And yes I do agree with you under normal circumstances.

It is very difficult to tell a story on IG lol That is why I said what i did ;) In the real world most of my magic is a journey. I know you follow my stuff so you know that :)

It really depends who your audience is. Super visual commercial magic works best for laymen. Single moves or applications for card mechanics. Flourishes for cardists. As for original stuff. I think if you create something original it will stand out to one of the above mentioned audiences...

For a restaurant: Hello, My name is Michael. I am the house entertainment this evening. My job is to go from table to table and help make time fly while you wait for your meal. Would you like to see some magic? For the street: I will usually do some sort of flourish with my cards to get their...
