I believe a limited (10% max) service fee for items sold would be logical as well as acceptable; we are looking at a thing that can turn into a huge headache -- FAST! I'd even suggest that said % be split in a way that has the seller and buyer each paying equal amounts. With my 10% example...

Ok. . . are you a Mentalist or a B-Rate video producer? I loathe magic video that doesn't show the magic with clarity and organization but especially those that are full of video silliness, loud music that is distracting. Locating hidden people or objects is a classic of Mentalism. Sadly, I...

Mnemosigh by Patrick Schlagel One of my favorite bits of business is naming the Zodiac sign of total strangers; needless to say I have a variety of ways by which to accomplish this and am always on the lookout for more. Patrick Schlagel’s composition delivering some eye-opening possibilities –...

Marc. . . the web-site I use for my primary target market is a generic site through Yahoo (craigthepsychic.com) it works for what I do and the people I'm reaching out to. For a young person like yourself, using a stock template is perfectly fine INITIALLY . . . once things start rolling for you...

I just signed up. . . got a handful of stuff to put on your shelves

You also know that I have to react to such things, it's my nature. (insert evil laugh here)

Stigmata IS NOT Mentalism, it's bizarre Magick at best, Geek Magick better describes it though. STAY AWAY FROM MENTALISM until you learn the basics i.e. Mark Wilson, Bobo, Bill Tarr, etc. (you'll never hear me encourage people to learn more than the bare bone basics on card work, they're a...

Admittedly my post stems from general Old Fart Frustration . . . I'm on a half-dozen forums and I see this sort of inane action far too much (along side the poor grammar & spelling, which is a huge issue given that fact that Firefox and I'm certain IE have those wonderful red & green highlights...

Maybe it's because I'm an old curmudgeon or perhaps it's the Virgo in me that recognizes the idea that everything has its place . . . then again, it could simply be the fact that I do lots of research. Regardless, I am of the mind to scream a bit here and there when it comes to the lethargy of...

Context Mat. . . Conversation Hypnosis is established reality and what people (magicians) are referring to when they mislabel it as "Covert" or "Stealth" hypnosis. My comment centers on using the right wordage for what one is seeking to learn about. . . makes it so much easier to research...

When it comes to such sources and even the lesser known publications like Linking Rings, it really tends to be a political beast; there's a collection of guys that have known one another for some time and they lend support to one another, which makes it very difficult for an outsider to get in ...

Thanks for the post, Ash it does touch on some very important points. Some of you here may be aware of how my name is mud @ the Cafe and certain UK forums for one reason or another; mostly due to my "bluntness" -- I call a spade a spade. This ticks people off and as an end result they attack...

When not doing "magic" I have frequently worked as a salesman and as such come to loathe those that were "in your face" and pushy. The same goes with magic & magicians; especially the trend of approaching total strangers in their place of business, such as is described here, and showing off . ...

NEVER underestimate the value of music! Even when played at a barely audible level music has an amazing impact on your audience and yes, even when used out doors. I have a sound system set for my wheelchair so I can play music off my MP3 anytime I wish and when doing any kind of "mime"...

I just thought I'd echo this in that it's the only TRUTH you'll find when asking such an inane question; like beauty "best" is in the eye of the beholder, what works best for me won't necessarily work for you and vice versa.

Steerpike's post opened my eyes to another layer to your inquiry (probably because I'm not familiar with the effects you listed . . . I'm an old fart after all). "Dark"/Bizarre & Macabre Magick is not easy to pull off and the genre itself is filled with tons of wannabe types that think...

Thumb Tips? Though I've had some of the more expensive rubber thumbs the two I use the most are the various Vernet plastic thumbs I have and a cheap metal one that I found in an old child's magic kit many years ago. It really doesn't matter so long as you learn how to work with the gimmick in...

Rick is spot on with his encouragement but, you might be able to at least feed your need to perform a bit if there is a family establishment like a Chuck E Cheese or Ferrils Ice Cream type joint in your area. This atmosphere will serve you well in earning your chops and opening doors for doing...

I'll take this another direction. . . Why are you so focused on playing cards and not learning the other aspects of magic? Card Magic is an addiction for a number of reasons and as such it tends to limit us and our ability to learn and work with anything other than card magic . . . that is to...

Ok, I'm here. . . Yes, there are scams out there on most any topic you want to name but too, there are people that think something should be a certain way and when they find out it's not, they assume the information is a scam -- fertilizer! First of all, there is no such thing as "Covert...
