This is absolutely perfect, some very important questions are asked here. Keep 'em coming ;)

Common guys, this is sad. Working on a cruise ship is like working on a different planet, so many questions to ask. No one asked about the lifestyle, where can you go, where you cannot go, who does your laundry, is there a gym, where do you eat, can you drink, can you hang out with guest after...

Have you ever worked as a professional magician? There are two main reasons why I carry more than one deck of cards with me to a restaurant gig. First of, I get people to sign the card more often than not, so after only 10 tables, my deck is pretty slim, so I have to have a spare one in order...

The link for the podcast is gonna be right here in this thread. Mat, sorry buddy, I forgot to mention you in my greetings :) I know you expressed an interest in getting the job, so you're still number one on my list ;)

And also a potential job opportunity...

Thanks for the support man, it means a lot. Hopefully we'll get more response, since so far, only 5 people are interested :/

Yeah, I was thinking about it, but then not as many people would see it, and my goal is to inform/educate as many people as I can, and potentially help them get a job on the ship.

No it's not true actually. There are other ways to perform magic, not just street magic. I always have multiple decks on me, most of the time two decks, a gimmicked deck (ie. invisible deck, marked deck, color changing deck, twilight angels deck etc...), and a regular deck. But at one point I...

Excellent post, exactly what I had in mind. Keep 'em coming!

Sorry, I should've mentioned that it is about the position of a CLOSE-UP/Restaurant Magician, not a stage magician (even though I know something about that too). So ask questions about the life on the ship, about being a close-up magician on the ship, what ever crosses your mind.

Very good question. Don't forget to suggest either audio or video podcast ;)

Hey T11, I literally just landed couple of hours ago, I came home after working for 9 months on a cruise ship as a close up magician. So I decided to share my wisdom with you guys. I am going to do a video/audio podcast about life and work on a cruise ship, so you will know everything you...

Rick, why arent you doing a sloppy shuffle triumph in the hands? I perform in a restaurant with all kinds of tables every single day for 6 hours and I do sst often, I just spread the cards in my hands. Btw I love this thread because I will do a massive post/podcast on something simmilar that...

The other four are all in one package and has not been done in the last 100 years.... Hmmm excited. Quick question, how much will that package cost? Because I can only put money on my card on Sunday for the next two months.

Actually, pinky action is not the same as the Cardini Change, that is where the whole problem lies. In Cardini Change, pinky pulls the card in a "straight down" motion. In Top Shot, pinky pulls the card to the right (if you're holding the deck in the left hand), and then extends to the right...

I have it and it's pretty amazing and very simple to use. Even the set-up and clean-up can be done right in front of the spectators without any fear of giving anything away. That being said, the only thing that I find is a very small minus is that the effect is 2 seconds long. You borrow the...

I have the key and it's true, it's really hard to make it 100% straight. The best I've achieved so far is to make it straight, but it has a tiny curve at the very tip, which is not that bad I guess. However, the key is too sensitive. It bends by itself even on room temperature. Not all the way...

I just have to add a short funny and kind of sad story. There was a magician in Serbia some years ago on TV who did "Classic Force" in every single show with 100% accuracy. The show was live. How? He used a stooge lol So if you want your force to work, just use a stooge and you can force...

I'll try not to repeat what others have said, although I may just a little bit. First of all, I didn't see the ending coming (aka. two black aces out of the box), that caught me off guard, so well done for that. However, if you just change the grip on the box, you can slide all the cards out in...

Oh, and this picture can help also:
