The real question isn't how much you should charge, it is how much you think you are worth.

I started a forum for this...

I wanted to add on to my last post... If our spectator's are searching for the why behind the magic, the only emotion it will create is confusion. Remember... "Confusion isn't magic." If our spectator is searching for the how behind the magic, the emotion that it will create is wonder...

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. :) Well, the obvious answer to this would be controversy. People aren't always going to understand or necessarily agree with what you have to say. In a sense, this also takes away from the pure beauty of magic. For example, let's say you talk a beautiful magic...

I don't get it.

Reading this topic, I'm starting to recognize the similarities between magic and life. We're asking ourselves if magic should have some sort of deeper meaning, or if it can just simply exist. Doesn't the same thing apply to life? Existentialism is the idea that we all just exist, and we need to...

Woah, I just watched some videos of that Marconick Change. It looks neat. Bit different than DID's here though. :D

We're on the West Coast bud... Midnight EST was 9 PM. :D I remember way back when, I told everybody that guy in the video was Wayne Houchin. But no one believed me. :p

That's an interesting statement. Personally, I would say that people want to see the illusions presented by the performer. It reminds me of the beginning of Darwin Ortiz's book Strong Magic. He makes it clear we should to be able to entertain with our magic alone. That's our first job...

I think magic is a great way to introduce new ways of thinking, and raise some important questions. It all depends on what you want to acheive with your performance. We can't expect our spectators to actually want to dive into some emotional, and life changing experience every time we perform...

If Mr. Bayme was an ice cream flavor, he would be "Awesome."

Yay, I am friends with Katie now!

Mod?!?!? :(

Don't deny change my friend.

Hey, it's an honest mistake! :) I believe Jeff McBride has his own DVD Series. You should check it out.

When I was practicing a routine for a competition a while ago, I used to keep a practice journal. In this journal I would take notes during practice sessions and keep track of the amount of times I went through the routine fully. I would also write down practice goals before the session, for...

I went to the PCAM Convention a couple years back when it was in my hometown. Loads of fun.

Good times.
