Oh here I'll fix that... THERE! We all know that the mods here have a serious cat allergy so this thread should be toast within the hour or so.

Oh are we back to posting cat pictures? Touche sir. Touche!

Speaking of Tricks. That makes me remember why I got into magic to begin with. I found out my sister was getting 100$ a trick.

Eh? word count

Yeah man, what ImSeeU said. The only way to get good at controlling your audience is going out and performing for as many people as you can in all different types of venues and settings. You're going to need to fall on your face a few times before you learn how to not do that. Just Go Out...

I've wanted to produce a show for sometime now themed after the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in which every act has a unique and specific talent, and they are all brought together for the soul purpose of showing the audience a secret world they never knew existed. Kind of playing off the...

I'm not sure I can quantify why creators of tricks don't get as famous as the magicians who perform them. I mean I know why myself, but it's not as simple of an answer as "because of XYZ". Some creators of magic are absolutely brilliant when it comes to method and prop design but they either...

You should book Paul Draper & Myself's two man parlor show/ seance Bizarre & Mental! hint hint... insert bone toss here...

ok... The magic looks good. This is just a personal thing but I'd much rather see you perform for someone, use patter, etc over a static web cam shot. Keep it up.

Not to be a wet blanket peeps but there's an entire forum dedicated to The Wire, and all it's wonderfulness. This is posted in the wrong section.

What are you talking about? Vegas is full of magicians!

More correctly Parker: Practice doesn't make perfect. Rehearsal makes perfect. Practice makes permanent.

Steer makes a point. Laymen take a puzzle approach to magic. You know something they don't. When you show them what that something is they feel it is their job to solve it. This is where Weber talks about Trick vs Magical Experience in his book Maximum Entertainment. If you were actually...

Audience Management my friend. You need to learn to control your audiences better. Spectator: "Oh I know what that is! That's an invisible deck, I saw how it was done on youtube!" Magician: "Good, and you're also smart enough to keep your mouth shut about it until I'm done performing too...

Pretty much boils down to a frustration with that one person everyone knows who seems to skate by, profit, and prosper doing the most commercial entry level tripe with no real desire to improve, grow, or graduate beyond the beginners course in how to do magic meanwhile the rest of us struggle to...

Being a magician can be frustrating sometimes. Especially when dealing with clients who don't normally know how to deal with talent. Here are some classic examples of things that just frustrate the hell out of us. Funny but true... 1. “We don’t have a budget to pay you…but it’s great...

Some music can be open sourced as well. Meaning the artist publishes their music with the intent of others being able to use it for free. Purchasing a song off I-tunes is NOT the same thing as purchasing the rights to use the song in published work. Either you must petition the artist for...

Being a "creator" doesn't make you any more a magician than owning a paintbrush makes you an artist. I'm sure there's an exception to the rule out there somewhere.

There are a couple I'd get if I were you. 1) Heirloom: Photo card prediction that lives in your wallet. 2) Freaky by Greg Wilson: Classic Copper, Silver, Brass effect using house keys instead of antiquated coins no one carries around anymore. 3) My Pet Boris For the Iphone or Android...
