im of the opinion that magic would be more respected by people. Because it would be even harder to become one.It would be more of a rarity to see a magician than it is now. It would have to be the truly artistically devoted people to magic that would want to become magicians.

Through my experiences spectators,most of the time,wont be that impressed with your magic(with cards) after seeing you flourish. Because when they see you do that they'll say things like"oh well,if he can do all that then it should be easy to find my card". I almost never flourish in front of my...

'cept for maybe loops levitations. I actually have used the balducci lev. and it still works!haha.I thought most laymen knew that method. I almost never perform it though.

Has anyone actually seen brad perform besides in the DVD's? well id just like to point out that most people at my school saw the special and immediately the next day came up to me and talked great about the magic. The majority like the endurance test of his but at they jump they said they were...

Thats wassup. It does my heart good to hear stories like these.

Something else i wish to add is that it made me appreciate other artforms more than i already did.Theatre,painting,music,etc.

Thanks,ive performed it only a total of 7 times though since ive learned it. And i was freakin' shaking nervous the first 3 times..I just try hard as i can not to let it show. I just wanted to let you guys know it is possible.

Well if you havent tried to perform it in person yet you cant really say that. It works great in person.I mostly get stunned silences first and then mini freakouts.(I learned it awhile back with the Dangerous dvd.) You just really have to know how to build it up.And sway the audiences to the...

Before performing magic for people,which ive been doing for 5 or 6 years now,i was always a shy child.Always kept to myself,and it wasnt necessarily because i was scared to approach people,but that i never knew what to say.And through magic i found the confidence to properly introduce myself to...

Katie didnt like it much either.

Unfortunately for the christian magicians if you begin to imply a little bit of religion or start saying things like "It wasn't real, but there was a man long ago, his name was Jesus Christ, and he is the Son of God, and he could actually perform miracles. Not magic, but miracles. Because he was...

Its never good to stress god or a message on somewhen when performing magic. Its just not..um..welcomed by most people.

If the spectator realizes that they were misdirected,then it wasnt misdirection.It was just bad.When a spectator is properly misdirected they say things like"how could that have possibly have happened?i was watching the entire time!"but of course they werent.but if its good misdirection(not...

well theory11 declares themselves the "underground" magic and cardistry epicenter.I think its just a way to identify their independence from the rest of the "mainstream". just because hundreds of people know them doesnt mean they've lost that.An example might be releasing every single new effect...

And thats pretty much the main reason.At least when you say it to other magicians.To laymens it might sound mysterious or conceited.depends on how you go about it.

Well daniel madison once stated that an underground magician is not the type of magician that does the kind of flashy/commercial magic.With the top hat and pulling rabbits out of hats type of magician. I dont necessarily think the word underground is valid anymore.because laymen dont have that...

It was also stated that the special will be moved to start after the presidents speech,so we wont miss a thing.

On the show he stated that "imitation is a form of flattery" but to me that didnt look the case. But it seems david is being the bigger man and just shrugging it off. which is good.because criss was just making himself look bad.

So an artist is defined by how much money he makes? That seems more to me like the business side of magic than the art.

I was performing card through window next to a building that was FOR LEASE.but it had huge windows. Well when i sprung the cards i did it in such a way that i cracked the glass. The spectators enjoyed it but i tried to get out of there as soon as possible.
