Rick is right. When I was working in the restaurant, the spin off jobs were where the money was. Yet the restaurant was a great place to work with an audience, and try new material.

Luis, Inspirational. Thanks for sharing. All the best to you my friend. I am looking to do some restaurant work again. Your story inspires me to get off my but. I am looking forward to hearing how the month goes! JM

I very much agree. In my degree, I majored in theatre, and it is unbelievable what a difference it makes. I use some of those skill in nearly every single interaction I have, in and out of magic. I recently read Steve Cohen's book, "How to Win a Crowd", and it has lots of great tips on...

Youtube. kidding.

Don't forget to go out and perform! Don't let the internet consume you!

It totally depends on how much you use it. I find with a moderate level of use, I can get a year to two years out of a invis. deck before it get's sloppy. For me it's worth it to just pick up a new deck when the time comes.

Yep. For sure a good purchase.

If you haven't already listened to Paul Draper's EMC video, it is a must watch. It is filled with so much great advice. One of the many things he said that I thought was very insightful was to "Stay away from just the pure study of mentalism, because the pure study of mentalism is not the...

I'm. So. Pumped. The timing is a bit troublesome for me, as I'm at work. However, I may be able to get some time off for this. So excited.

I have to say I'm with DannyT on this one. Although not the dorkiest shirt, It perhaps lacks a bit of 'cool' factor (aside from being BLACK, like magic). I have to say the concept is great. The price tag baffles me. At that price it's not worth the trial even.

We were just there, and we picked up tickets for Steve Cohen's Chamber Magic show. Easily a must. A fantastic show. Actually, the word fantastic doesn't capture it at all. It sells out, so if you can still get tickets, then absolutely do it. (Not to mention the hotel where it is at is amazing.) j

Very practical advice. Thanks for passing it on. J

You could try using a table with a sign as a 'home base'. People walk by and see the sign, know what is going on, and a) they keep walking because they are not interested or don't have the time b) stop or show interest via eye contact, or c) they already know what is going on when you approach...

If you have a topit, you could do a nice deck restoration.

Rats. I was just there yesterday! Just saw this now. If I didn't have tickets to Steve's show tonight, I'd probably zip over there to check.

Nice, I just happen to be in NYC this weekend. You never know...

This looks great. I'm downloading it now. Halfway there....

Are you registered for the Essential Magic Conference yet? If so, there are some huge gems of wisdom in this short video from David Kaye. http://essentialmagicconference.com/videos/30 (Members only Video) (If you're not...why not??) j

I watched the first two. Very interesting. With the first one, there was at least that first reading that was eerily accurate, that seemed to be a shred of evidence(?) (for most of the show). The second one, the guy was just totally off his rocker. And he raises an interesting question about...

Heh, it's always hard to bite your tongue in those situations!
