Tokyo, I understand your frustration. I would say probably most guys who perform regularly paid gigs including myself, use standard bikes or Tally's. This allows for the gaffs, different back colors, etc. I do not believe there would be much of a market for the different colored backs in custom...

What up Danny? Thought I'd move this for ya. Ha. I hope for your sake it is just table hopping and strolling. It will be much easier and less stress on you then performing a big stage X-mas show for the union. Like I've said in the past, I only perform strolling / table hopping with effects that...

Perhaps Theory11 could utilize the T-shirts as bonuses during a X-mas sale event. You know how E does, when you spend $100, that puts you at a certain tier for a certain bonus gift, When you spend $200, that gets you something even nicer. That is what I would do if they have a supply of them...

Hi Lyndon, welcome to Theory11. Be sure to take time to browse around and learn the different links, areas of the site, etc. I think you will find your stay here very beneficial to your growth in magic / entertaining.

Think along the lines of what are all of the pieces of the umbrella. Can the handle be used to have a load in it? Could you use an opened umbrella to produce multiple objects? Could there be a reveal on the material part by using lemon juice or other solutions? Could you use the point of the...

David Ginn Material or Seriously Silly by David Kaye

Can't wait to hear how this went. When you get done immediately reflect your thoughts of what played out well and how you would modify anything for your next similar gig. Write it down in a journal. If something did not play out well...ask yourself "Why didn't it get the reaction I was looking for?"

Got it. I watched it. No...mine is different but you get the same visual effect. I'll share it with you somehow via video. Just let me know. There would be no way for me to type to you how to get into it. It is seriously not hard though. I had Shane doing it in about 5 minutes.

That is hilarious but oh so true....nice post.

Guys....these are all great suggestions, but all he has to perform with is a deck of cards. Let's keep that in mind and offer some other options for him. Oz Pearlman's Clutch - Pickpocket routine, Tossed Out Deck - performed quickly, I'll keep thinking. I have papers to grade first.

Ha Ha. You are probably right. Funny how nobody has said a word in 2 years about that. Thanks.

I would do one effect and play it up big. 4-5 minutes goes by waaaaaaay faster than you think when you are up on stage. Standard size card effects don't play on large scales very well so I would do Jumbo Cards if you can or you might need someone with live video connected to a big screen if you...

Ok...I figured out how to upload my document but it says my contract exceeds the file size so I am going to have to figure something else out. I will definitely post my contract sometime today. I'm at work and actually have to teach not play around...ha ha. Ok...I'll just cut and paste the...

I would gladly post mine if I could figure out how to do an attachment for .doc in this reply. Am I blind or just missing how to add an attachment? I see "insert video and insert video".

Ah...I see. Thanks for the clarification Bninco. I don't venture over there at all.

Lots of great opinions on this topic. By no means am I saying one way is right and the other is wrong. I have yet to use a self worker as my closer, but then again I don't perform stage magic either. I would venture to say that a lot of the professionals do not follow this guideline either. I...

Were you banned or something and need in under someone else's account? I'm confused. Nobody in their right mind will give you email and passwords.

In his example, it was NO SLEIGHTS at all, full proof, basically it was an appearing bouquet of flowers from a wand. You know the miniature version where the magnet from the flower ploom sticks to the magnetic bottom / vase and you lift up and, "Whalla!" It was that simple only on a much grander...

That is interesting. I have never been told that. I just send them my contract in the mail or via email, they sign it, send the deposit back, and no questions are asked. I show up, do the show, send a thank you card, etc. End of story. Maybe some others on here have experience with this.
