    Best Wedding Effect Ever

    I'm going to completely throw you a curve ball but imagine if you could do this: A signed Card appears in the Wedding Ice Sculpture....ha ha. Now that is thinking outside the box.

    First actual paid gig.

    You definitely take it if you feel confident in your abilities. Every time you perform for an audience or crowd you will come away with more knowledge then what you went in with. Everyone of us who does paid gigs started somewhere so now is your time my man. Make sure you do not perform...

    Best Wedding Effect Ever

    Anniversary Waltz is probably one of your best bets and there are so many variations of it. I use Josh Jay's Waltzing Cheek to Cheek and it resets for strolling if you needed to hit up other tables later. This would be more of an effect just for them and some near bystanders but would not be...

    Back from a Corporate Cocktail Party

    I'm probably the one that told you to do Twisted Sisters even without the Elmsley because that is how I used to do it 2 years ago. Now I do it with the Elmsley and it is killer. Most of the time if someone says I have a trick deck, at the end of the set, if it is towards the end of the night...

    15 and Wanting to Begin Restaurant Magic

    I would follow Luis's advice....he is exactly correct. He and I talk about this all of the time because we both work a lot of gigs like this. If you have $100 and you have enough effects, then i highly advice getting yourself a nice new shirt, pants, or shoes. Appearance is a huge deal as well...

    Back from a Corporate Cocktail Party

    Great Job Justin. I had a similar situation like that one time too. I abandoned the pre structured sets and just went with the flow. I normally don't recommend that to people but sometimes it works. Also...I take Twisted Sisters with me to all of my gigs because when you are looking for that...

    Tough Time for a Young Fellow Magician

    Thank you for the update. If you need to talk or just vent feel free my man. PM me any time. I've been through chemo with my wife and it is the toughest thing I've ever dealt with in my life. Positive thoughts and prayers my man. Learn to lean on others and do not feel as though you are taking...

    Holiday Contest Scratch Cards

    Very interesting. I wouldn't think Theory 11 would announce that this is the Grand Prize because that would hurt Holiday Sales if people knew the winning ticket was already out there. But...then again I could be wrong. Wait and see I guess.

    What tricks do you guys normally do at a party?

    This happens to me a great deal fellas. A lot of people know that I am a paid performer and do gigs around town so people feel that if I am out a party somewhere that is NOT a paying gig, that I will just stand there and perform as if I was doing a full blown show. NO NO NO. Do not become the...

    Laymen and Hecklers

    First of all...great purchases with the books you have coming your way! A wealth of knowledge and material. Second, Call me crazy but you're job as a magician is to ENTERTAIN the spectators, not try to stump them. That is what causes a lot of the heckling in the first place. Especially from...

    USPS without tracking number

    Sometimes when you mail items, it costs the company or person an extra fee to have it tracked or have proof of delivery added on to the shipping. Maybe that is why there isn't a tracking number. I'm with Draven on this. Just contact Wayne personally or a member from his shipping team.

    Success or Failure?

    The way to improve upon this is literally take the same effect or set of effects and perform them repeatedly throughout a day, week, etc. The moves and patter will become ingrained and it becomes a normal flowing process. I notice this when I am performing strolling magic. I will take an effect...

    Amish Gig

    Hey fellas, Luis, thanks for the questions. As far as table hopping prior to the big show, I think it was very beneficial to have engaged in some interaction with the guests prior to the bigger show. Especially in this circumstance, where the Amish normally do not see live entertainment nor...

    Amish Gig

    Hey Guys, What's happening? I promised you I would do a review of tonight's Amish Gig so here it goes. 4:15 PM I pull out of my drive with hand written instructions because my GPS cannot even locate the gig site which is just about an hour away in the middle of nowhere, Ohio. The gig...

    What A Cool Experience!

    Joining a ring is definitely one of the best moves to improve upon yourself. Your skills will grow very rapidly if you seek out the right people. Don't be afraid to meet up with some of the guys outside of the club meetings as well. Just exchange email or phone numbers and say you wouldn't mind...

    Welcome to Esecutori

    The color scheme for the website looks a bit weird. The colors don't go well together and R.K. is correct about your choice of photos. They do not look professional at all. I applaud your efforts but it needs a bit of work still.

    How NOT To Get Tips

    Sorry R.K....my post was referring to just magic gigs. At restaurants I definitely leave a 20 % tip with the check.

    How NOT To Get Tips

    Even in the US I don't think tipping is that big. Most people simply do not do it. I've performed magic for 10 years, 2 of the last have been pretty steady at great gigs and only twice have I ever received a tip. I have great interaction, the magic is good, I just don't believe people want to...
