    Learning the muscle pass & it hurts bad

    I'd settle down for a day or two and let your hand heal up a bit. You may even be shocked to find that after your hand rests for a day your muscle pass will be stronger almost as if by itself.

    FYI -- Magic Castle Fire

    The money from the Night of the Raven, usually a library fundraiser, went strait into the inferno fund. Also inferno glasses are being sold through the castle to help fund the repairs. Thankfully no one was hurt, but yes it really makes me sad to see the place in that state. Milt it hopeful...

    Magic as a Career

    I never said that, nor can I say that with any authority.

    Magic as a Career

    I can't believe you have the audacity to try and turn my words against me without confronting the points I make, reinforce your stronger points, and attempt to rebuttle the weaker ones OR admit you may (gasp!) be wrong about something. Quit trying to smoke screen the subject at hand. That...

    Thank God I Wasn't A Magician

    I saw this online, and wanted to share. Funny! http://teamcoco.com/video/pete-holmes-magic

    Magic as a Career

    So... by your logic I should be able to go out tonight, buy a lotto ticket, and just because I buy a ticket win the lotto? I'm sorry Benji but reality doesn't work like that. With all other factors removed from my control, the chance of me winning, and the probability of me losing lay in...

    Magic as a Career

    You defeat yourself with your own example of the lottery Benji. You can't have it both ways.

    Magic as a Career

    Aye Simon, you're correct, however a LOT of what we perceive as luck has to do with our attitude and how we perceive ourselves in the world. If you are absolutely convinced that you're not good at what you do, you couldn't hold your own on stage with an established name, you aren't worth...

    Aye I've got one on Ireland. That'll be a bit though since that's in the I's and so far I'm not out of the A's yet. Thanks guys!

    Actors on acting: Performance acting as art

    I wasn't actually going to go there because I rather like Nick, but lets face it... he wasn't my first pick for Ghost Rider. Also along the lines of what Steer was saying about Nick being good for magicians, you do realize he's heavy into mysticism and the Kabala right?

    Magic as a Career

    I'm not sure I agree with that. Luck is a state of mind and dependent upon one's perception of their own space. Magicians are, or rather should be, masters of altering others perceptions. At the very least challenging them. If you believe yourself unlucky then naturally all encounters you...

    Magic as a Career

    No such thing as luck? Pish posh. Next thing your going to tell me is that there's no Santa either. Frankly I make my own luck, both good and bad, and the polarity has a direct corolation to what ever my attitude is at the time. Also Benji, not to pick you apart here but when people get...

    Magic as a Career

    Jacob I'm going to say the best way to become a pro is to simply get out and start doing it. You need three things, at the BARE basic level. 1) an act that can work for at most one hour, but flexible enough to break down into a 20 minute set, a 45 minute set and finally a 60 minute set...

    Magic as a Career

    There is also a stark difference between trying something you've been well informed of, and have done your research in, and running into it blindfolded, and uneducated. If I'm going to gamble Benji, especially with my savings, or time (which all start up businesses require start up capital)...

    Magic as a Career

    What Benji isn't telling you is that 80% of all new businesses fail within the first five years. This was shown in a study done by Inc. magazine and the National Business Incubator Association (NBIA). This does include any magic based business. Why is the numbers so high? No one really has...
