Just watched the second video as well. Justin has given you some valuable advice so I will not reiterate it however I will say you have a likable personality that allows for people to enjoy your magic. With that character I would not see many people heckling you. Nice reactions on the snow...

I wouldn't suggest paper balls over the head for young children because the young kids in the audience are just going to ruin it for the child in the chair. They will just typically yell, "He is throwing it over your head!" I've seen it happen. It is better suited for older kids who enjoy...

Xpand - Paper Crane Magic Creators: Brandon David & Chistyrious The Effect...What does the spectator see? The spectator gets to sign their selected card which is then returned FACE UP to the top of the deck. The magician then VISUALLY SHRINKS the signed selection (which is still face up with...

The Linked Lifesavers in your mouth hits pretty hard and is kind of cool. Be careful about mouth effects in environments such as classy restaurants and such because it is not very "clean" to be having cards in and out of the mouth and back into spectators hands who are eating. Eric Jones touches...

Sounds great on the table hopping. Wow...4 hours is a bit long. I guarantee your have your material down pretty darn good after all the nights of doing that. When you are doing the half hour shows for the teens, kids, and at the end of the day....where is that? In a room? On a stage? In a...

David, we have a little bit of every thing in our community....even balloon sculpting. We have a few guys who are into mentalism. I would seek out Craig Browning on here, Dee Christopher, and a few more that their names escape me right now.

Thanks for uploading these performances. I've just finished watching the first one and will only comment on that and then come back for the second one later...sorry but my kids are screaming for dinner....ha ha. I agree that you should start out with a normal card trick, put the deck away and...

Why does it have to be a kids only show and not a family oriented show? I'm just curious. If you are for sure keeping it kids oriented....a 1 hour stage show is pushing it. I'd stick to 30 minutes - 45 tops depending on the age range. Children under the age of 8 are going to be bored out of...

Toby, I'd be interested in hearing what your typical day at sea is like. Schedule, show times, etc. Glad you are having a good experience.

I have heard great things about working cruise ships and have also heard horror stories. I've heard that many times your room is not much bigger than a closet space and that some cruise ships will have entertainers do other responsibilities besides their performing duties while on the ship. I do...

I do not own the effect but Jacob is correct. Try many different approaches and avenues with your patter and eventually after about 50 performances or so you'll start to tweak it to where you like it and you'll see what gets the best interaction with the spectators. I've had effects sit in my...

Nice....love Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase. So many funny moments in that movie.

Great contest! Can't wait to see some of the creativity on this one. I'd participate as well but I have to put the kids to bed in a half hour and then play Santa myself tonight.

Although I am unable to answer your question regarding the deck, holy crap, was it just me or did the trailer look pretty insane. Huge props to whoever put that together. These trailers are starting to look like movie trailers for theaters.

Wow Matt...I had no idea you were into film at that level. Great stuff...very cool man.

Jewish, thanks for sharing this experience. Things like this "will and do" happen even though we thought we had everything prepared and ready. It is a devastating feeling once the prop or item is in play and you know you have to think on your feet to cover. Talk about sweating bullets....I've...

I've seen Johnny Ace Palmer do his sponge balls and cups and balls close together and it was fine so maybe I am just over thinking it. Any way you could have someone have a video cam feed to shoot it up on a big screen or not? Let me know how this goes.

Ah....well then...toss out my examples. My apologies. If you want something pretty difficult that hits hard is my mentor's "YOU BLUE IT" routine. Go to www.edellismagic.com scroll down and watch the "YOU BLUE IT" routine. It kills. It is not completely impromptu but not much of a set up at...
