If it is an impromptu performance I stop after 3 effects and hand out business cards. Works every time.

Just shot you a PM.

I myself prefer to open up my range of abilities and do a lot of different types of magic. My experiences thus far have lead me to believe that most lay audiences do NOT want to see a half hour straight of card effects. I make it a point to NEVER open a show or gig with a care effect. I normally...

Thank you David. Sometimes you have a better way than I do of getting a message across and you made some VERY valid points to consider for not just Enzo's sake but all of us.

LUCKEEEE.....(Napolean Dynomite) Ha Ha.

Fellas please try to stay professional on the boards. Enzo...most of the frustration here is the fact that many of us here do a lot of research on our own, read reviews, subscribe to magazine like Magic or Genie, etc. and every day (practically) you ask the same question numerous times about...

Dan...how was closing your tour shows with the "Scorpion"? That thing looks like one nasty beast of a machine.

I have a show for 40 kids this Thursday night at a Fire Station. I'll see if I can get someone there to take some photos and I'll post them up Friday for everyone to see. I normally do not like to film my shows if it is a child's birthday because that seems a bit weird and there would be many...

If you are a team or "troupe" so to speak and are performing with a common goal in mind, I don't see a problem at all. You are sharing your knowledge or expertise with a fellow entertainer who may enhance your group's show. If I were in your shoes and the said effect fit someone else better, I...

Growing Head Illusion, Spongeballs,Stratosphere,Cut and Restored Rope / Fiber Optic Routine, Shoot a Card Trick - kid wears a cowboy hat and shoots the deck with a cap gun and the only card that gets a hole shot through is his selection...he / she keeps the card after I sign it. Needle through...

Thanks Luis. As mentioned I do a lot of kids shows so if David (Reality One) doesn't quite answer all of your questions I would be glad to help as well. I normally do about 10-15 kid shows a year.

Reality has given a ton of experienced knowledge in his post. I would echo many of his thoughts and notes. Especially note 1 and 2. Those are crucial to understand. As far as a character, no, you do not have to be a clown or have a costume, etc. I perform in black dress pants, sports coat...

Andrew is correct. It was a gift that he simply accepted. It was not stolen.

What an experience to say the least. That was great and thanks for sharing. I bet your anxiety and nerves were through the roof.

Luis has a ton of fantastic scenarios / gigs that he has worked. There is a ton of information in them to grow professionally and for your own reading entertainment. Highly recommended. I like the new look / appearance.

Draven has a lot of knowledge on character development. I am quite boring when it comes to character because I am well known in the community as a respected school teacher so I cannot really play the "fun" game of wearing make up, tattoos, etc. which I think would be fun. I like what you have...

Those are all excellent choices. I will throw one out there that some of you may not know. Guy Bavli's material is fairly strong as well.

If you think about it, this has been done for a reason as it always is with performers. To stay cutting edge, Copperfield needs to get into the minds of the younger generation to know what is "hip" and hits hard. I'm sure he will love to see the creativeness come out of these two guys. It was...

I have done a few weddings in my time. Tips: 1.) Don't bother the bride and groom until the evening is well under way and you see that they are done stressing about the pics, food, speeches, etc. Once they have had a few drinks and are dancing and having fun...have at it. Same goes for the...

I'm not so sure it would be a good idea either. You would be better of seeing if their is a magic club or local IBM ring within driving distance to benefit yourself rather deal with some of the things schism has mentioned. Many times it will be just you instructing many people at once and this...
