    Critique my performance?

    The quality of the camera is okay, it's the slots that I'm having issues with. It doesn't work well with what you are trying to do. I'd use a wide shot at the least. Locations! As said, magic in the bed room for essentially the camera (though the camera dude did hold a card or so) is boring...

    Overcoming NERVES!!!

    The shakes and the stumbles are just nerves. It doesn't matter how good you get, you're always going to get a little nervous at some point in time. Just relax, take a deep breath, and remember that you are in control of the situation. The good news is that the more you perform, and the more...

    Article about reading magic books

    Irving, while your arguments are very well laid out, and echo of years of experience, as well as insight of some of the greats that have come before you; I can't share the same level of enthusiasm for book learning as you do. While it is a fact that books do contain a gold mine of valuable...

    Acta Deceptio - Why Do We Not Believe?

    Years ago we were the sages of the villages, the wisemen people came to for advice about the future, we were leaders, storytellers, healers, and counsel to kings, and queens. Then a little thing called the inquisition came along and all of a sudden we're no longer witches... we're just...

    Saturday Night Contest - Match 'Em Up!

    Okay, I normally suck at these kind of things, but here's my guesses. FACTS: 1. He was born with a black eye and every once in a while his eye closes unintentionally. Blake Vogt 2. He once bought a piece of toast without the image of Jesus on it for $50.00. Sounds like something Andrei Jikh...

    Dynamo's mind reading - Stooged?

    I agree Craig, there are certainly the right way, and wrong way to use a stooge. I was just advocating that their use (in general) is just another tool in our trade and shouldn't be so quickly dismissed.

    What would you consider as "creepy" magic?

    So what kind of things were discussed during the span of this argument? What would you consider the definition of "creepy" to be?

    What would you consider as "creepy" magic?

    Rizer? Smoke? ...creepy? Hmm I can't say I agree. I'd say the Web, The Haunted Key, From Hell, Death Toll, The Witches of Glastonbury, Luna, just to name a few fit the bill better. Why are you looking for creepy though?

    Dynamo's mind reading - Stooged?

    And even if he did use a stooge, what's the big deal? It's about entertainment right? Were not everyone else blown away and entertained? Then mission accomplished. Stooges are just as important tools to magicians as a deck of cards.

    Magic shops in Dayton/Cincinnati OH.

    I know Dayton has a magic shop, and it's probably the only one in the Miami valley area, but I don't know the name of it, or it's location. You could try a google search, or dialing 411 when you get there.

    Strangest/coolest experience while performing

    My strangest story comes not in the form of a presentation experience, but what happened there after. I was working on the street busking at a Marina in Long Beach, CA and after I was done I gave my usual hat line. Some woman comes out of my audience and tosses a small, square, plastic...

    What laymen are REALLY impressed by...

    that's an interesting assumption, however being a fire performer I'd never light anything close to someone's face! That's just asking for trouble.

    What laymen are REALLY impressed by...

    Yep. My coins across routine during strolling magic was great, but it always got upstaged by my fire wallet. Annoying how a simple little gimmick can over power years of knuckle busting practice isn't it?
