Why isn't magic a performing art?

Just made a voting open thread for our ACR battle, good luck, and nice work: http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=23903

Here is an Ambitious Card Routine battle between me and Jacksansui. My video is from a battle I did a while back for another ACR video, but my opponent didn't post a video. They are many small things I could've improved on, but there's one thing that really bugged me, MY HAIR! I looked like a...

Technically not all paintings do that, you can't disregard something as an art simply because not all pieces aren't good. When I watch David Copperfield perform Grandpa's Aces, it evokes an emotional reaction. When I watch a fellow teen magician perform Dream of Aces to Linkin' Park music on a...

If he didn't than the version being sold as Strange Travelers is some kind of variation that's credited to him.

I used to own this eBook, I think it was called aMAGAZINg or something like that. It taught an effect where you could take out a magazine, and do an effect very similar to the miracle Derren Brown performs in the video link you supplied. It had some interesting ideas, but it was presented more...

I would think that if the Bicycle 125 Anniversary Editions were limited, they would advertise it. Just a guess though.

1. What was your biggest challenge in becoming a professional magician? 2. Do you think that magic industry/world/community is in a better place than it was say, 20 years ago? 3. Do think that color changes should be an effect themselves, or should they be a utility used during longer...

David Copperfield has pretty much done everything...:) ...So I guess I would like to see Wayne Houchin do a classic sawing in half (With the box!)

Just found an old wishlist of mine from tower.com: Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols - Sex Pistols Temple of the Dog - Temple of the Dog The Clash - The Clash Ramones - The Ramones London Calling - The Clash Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam Incesticide - Nirvana Yield - Pearl Jam...

Welcome, hope to see you around. If there is only one piece of advice I can offer you, it is this: Don't ask about the Wire.

Good one :) I have looked there, but I couldn't find any I like that were from reliable websites. I want one with the Badmotorfinger cover. Edit: Just found one, it took me like an hour of searching on google, and I finally gave up and searched for a Louder Than Love Soundgarden shirt, and it...

"Here homeless man!" Funny stuff, poor DC :(

Congratulations, enjoy the Smoke and Mirrors!

Depends, with video contests it usually takes an hour or two. When there are a lot of entries (like this one) it can take up to a day.

If this is anything like the usual contests, there won't be any link to anything. They'll just post and say they liked these two videos, and this one won.

Here is my entry: http://www.vimeo.com/7629591 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvMNeuw_NfI I performed The Click Change (I guess it was really the Snap Change) and Tivo 2.0. Special thanks to my mom for filming most of it.

Although I do agree that learning how to properly present magic is far more important than using gaff cards, I don't think relying on gimmicks is necessarily a bad thing. If you like using gimmicks, use them. If you don't don't. I doubt any spectator will say, "Hey you rely on gimmicks to do...

Everything else sounds great, and I would like to wish you luck in writing the book. I've always been strongly against magicians picking only one type of magic and sticking with it. No spectators want to see all coins, all cards, or all of anything. In my opinion the only genre of magic you...
