    Kids show card magic

    95% of that age range will NOT be able to recognize and or remember cards. Unless they are JUMBO CARDS with pictures or if there are only 3 cards like a MONTE routine. If you are thinking like Triumph, Biddle, etc. No...don't do it for little kids. That particular age range wants to laugh...

    How do you get gigs?

    Marketing myself towards one audience has always been my biggest problem. I can do the heavy hitting magic for adults. I can do the kids bday parties and I also do a ton of balloon sculpting.

    How do you get gigs?

    I first started getting a lot of my first gigs right after I joined my local magic club / ring. I filled in for magicians who subbed me out and then I gave them 20% back. I also am a school teacher and a lot of parents see me doing events around our community like balloon sculpting and magic...

    breakaway wand- an interesting story

    Some children are very sensitive about gag effects where everyone is laughing, but them. I did something similar with a 3 envelope gag thing and people were roaring, but the girl almost cried up there. I felt like an a** and have never performed it the same way since. The break-a-way wand is...

    The Power of Image

    Loved reading about this experience Draven. To be honest, if I was out with my children I probably would have acted the same way towards you due to your appearance. That's just how parents and society is towards anybody that doesn't seem "normal" so to speak. Ha Ha. Great job man! That kid will...

    Critique on show poster appreciated.

    Very classy. Like it a lot. I'm not so sure about a qr code either. Nobody around me ever uses them nor have I seen them on anything lately. I think it was something that never caught on. I could be wrong though.

    Henry Evans and Tony Montana Lecture

    You'll love Josh. He is a great guy and has a ton of material. He is coming back to our hometown next week for our big convention. Steep prices means that their effects that they were selling seemed a bit high.

    Henry Evans and Tony Montana Lecture

    If anyone ever gets the chance to see Henry and Tony lecture....GO. They are in the states for like the next 3 weeks I believe. I attended their 2 hour lecture last night and it was outstanding. Their material was top notch and their personalities were very entertaining. They are both FISM...

    Editing Software on New Mac (Lion)

    That is what I'm thinking too. I will just hold off until CS6 and should be good to go hopefully. Gareth...I think I am confusing you, me or both of us....ha ha. It is not a problem of DVD authoring programs accepting iMovie files. It is a problem that Toast, DVD Studio Pro, etc. cannot...

    Editing Software on New Mac (Lion)

    I'll have to try the Encore trial to see if there are any bugs. Thanks. Even doing what you said, exporting as a quicktime, and importing then, I don't think that solves the compatibility issue of the authoring software out there running correctly with Lion. We will see...I'll try tonight and...

    My trick (release) plus performance

    That really isn't an effect. It is basically the fingers switching / motion from the effect Traveling Cash. It would not make it through the submission process.

    Longer than 72 hours... 6 days and counting...

    There is a ton of work / hours that goes into reviewing Wire submissions and I know there is a panel of a few people that like to look over things to make sure everything is kosher. If it is something that require a lot of research to check crediting and such, that could delay the process. I'm...

    restaurant magic help!

    You need to email Garrett Thomas. Garrett is the MAN when it comes to multiple restaurant magic gigs during his week. I cannot help you out much except I hope you are not wasting your time only working for tips at the one location. Ouch. Hopefully the clients there book you outside at other...

    Editing Software on New Mac (Lion)

    Well...I just found out that even Adobe Encore has compatibility issues with OS Lion as well. That stinks, someone better get some new Mac software for DVD authoring that works with Apples new operating system. Doesn't look good for DVD studio pro either. Many comments in the apple forums say...

    Editing Software on New Mac (Lion)

    Thanks JB. Roxio Toast apparently has an issue with Lion on some compatibility from what I've gathered thus far. I'm going to call them tomorrow to see. I will look into the others. Not sure if they run on Lion 10.7.3 I'm waiting to hear back from Michael and Andrei just sent me some info...

    Editing Software on New Mac (Lion)

    Hey fellas, I know this isn't magic related but I know a lot of you out there are making videos. I am shooting HD 1080p footage on my Canon T3i. iMovie is adequate for me right now. Uploading videos is awesome for streaming video sites and such. Here is my problem. I just purchased a new...
