Helps that you aren't out to prove anything. Pretty much. Unless your name is Andrew WK, you need to network with more people than just the ones you like to party with.

You missed the point. There's a reason I haven't been perma-banned yet. And it's not because I "don't need to give advice to be on here." How is that my fault?

Since no one is volunteering one, I'll give you an answer. Hype is a nebulous term and often used as a pejorative. Really, it's just the act of getting someone pumped and excited for the release of a product. If the product turns out to be as good as you hoped, all is well. If not, well...

Lessons a lot of magicians need to learn.

Do you really think the staff here would have let me carry on as long as I have if I never helped anyone? You don't have to like me. But don't lie about me.

At what point did Will say that all of your friends must be rich and successful? Funny you should mention David Blaine. You are aware that he worked out his persona and material for his first TV special with Paul Harris, yes? And we said you shouldn't do this at what point?

Love me, hate me, doesn't matter. I get results, baby!

You accused me of not doing magic and just being a troll. You were logged in after I posted my response. Either you read my response and just forgot, read it and didn't have the guts to admit your accusation was wrong, or you just didn't read it for whatever reason. The "Tonight I Failed...

A lot of people making a lot of excuses in this thread. And all of them seem to have this bizarre notion that associating with already successful people makes you a mooch or a sycophant or a parasite. Jesus... Like this for example. You perceive associating with successful people to be a...

You have an "ignore" button. Use it. Given the criticism you leveled at me earlier, I don't believe that's entirely honest. Besides that, I can be more friendly when I desire to. But you need to give me a reason. You opened with the same criticisms I hear from every other anonymous stick...

You should know better than to take me that literally. Even in a silent routine, it's force of personality doing the communicating. For a strong performer, the effect is just window dressing.

Fair enough. Let me put it this way. You ever see a man buy a woman a drink at a bar? How many of those men do you think end up dating the girls they buy hooch for? One does not earn respect by giving in to the demands of a stranger. A polite request is one thing. But demanding to see a...

Either/or. I'm personally of the school of thought that once you introduce new effects, it stops being an ACR at that point. Hell, I don't think I've performed my ACR in months, but I kept it to 3 phases simply because I didn't see any reason to make it more complex than that. It's similar to...

You're welcome. I'd take that more to heart if I knew who you were and why I should care. Since this is the first we've ever spoken, you are just text on a computer screen to me. Give me a reason to take you a little more seriously. Funny you should mention that. The video is a couple of...

In the spirit of what Tokyo and Baller have brought up, please consider the following: http://pittandpendulum.blogspot.com/2010/11/sorcerer-shopping-guide-part-ii.html

Drew has a personal vendetta against me. Long story short, he took me for granted and expected me to rebuild a bridge that he burned with bad behavior. I got fed up and let him go to deal with the problem himself. Ever since then, he's just been sniping at me every chance he gets before...

Just tell them if they're going to be greedy about it, then it's not fun anymore. Never play by anyone's rules but your own.

I don't. It's obvious the little prick was just trying to get a rise out of you. He thought he was in a position that he could make demands of you. In refusing to comply, you made him look like a twit. Nonengagement is sometimes the best way to deal with a problem.

Alright, let's pretend I'm a spectator. This means what to me? Am I even supposed to recognize the difference?

Of course I wrote it. It's my blog.
