Wow man....I'm impressed. Look out American Idol. Nice job Chris. If you ever make it big you best be hooking me up for some show tickets.

I think every time you go out to perform it should be a success story. Personally I try to take that moment in time for that group of people or individual and make them laugh, smile, scream and forget the rest of their worries. When I performed up at Put-In-Bay last weekend I was completely...

Chris gave you some solid advice. You need to slow the magic down quite a bit. I know you are excited and the adrenaline is pumping, but you have to let the audience appreciate every moment. You have great effects...just let it build more.

I have heard that the Flip HD is good for just every day filming and youtube videos but not as crisp / hi def if you are showing it on your TV or putting it on a DVD for a production. That is just what I have read in a few reviews and heard from two people that own them in my ring. You may be...

Why's that? Just curious.

Number 1...I am a guy, not a Mrs.....ha ha. That is my wife. Number 2...She did not play the field. I used to play the field and then decided after all the college fun and games it was time to keep a winner that had all of the qualities I wanted, not just a trophy wife or arm candy. Don't...

I would just sit down and tell him, "Look man. People are making fun of you behind your back and I thought I should be the one to tell you. You are not Criss Angel and nor should you try to copy cat him. Just be yourself and do your magic. Let your own image come through." 1.) He will either...

Guys...picking up girls is not a big game. Although in college it was fun at times. I know I am older than practically everyone on this board so I even though I am married with kids I did have quite a bit of experience at it. It is all about having confidence in yourself and just plain being...

Ahhh yes...good point. Too much tension or forced movement maybe. I agree.

Upon reading chapter sixteen of "Strong Magic" I found myself beginning to think more a bit about my timing in my routines. Timing is perhaps one of the most important subjects in magic. Many moves depend on timing and misdirection or the moment of relaxation. Timing is not an easy skill to...

I like Bannon's work. I use Duplicity or Twisted Sisters in EVERY one of my close up shows.

Hobson was at the last convention I was at in Ohio a few weeks ago. What he does now is offer a 25 person max lecture for $50.00 per person. It lasts 3 hrs. and covers a great deal of the business side of magic. You can purchase his DVD of that lecture for an additional $20 I think it was.

Today for 4th grade math I incorporated some so called "mind reading" magic into my math class. The kids had a blast and I had their attention the entire time. Each student received the following: 6 cards (each containing 32 numbers on it) instructions on how to perform the magical mind...

I will say that I am definitely guilty of this most of the time, but there are some effects that I really dive into and keep making them better than just "good enough". Too many times I have bought something...not received the mind blowing reaction that I thought would come and then pitch the...

Camouflage cards Chris....ha ha. Coin in Natty Light Beer Can...(kidding) Cups and Lugnuts (might be a bit loud) Do something with Shot gun shells. Just messin' with ya Chris. Just do your normal magic that always blows people away.

Lennart Green does it as well.

I remember one time my brother who used to dabble in magic a bit, years ago wanted me to teach him Garcia's Torn and once I showed him the first few steps, angles, and handlings...he was like, "Woah woah waoh...just forget it." I don't people realize how much they are biting off to learn an...

I went one time as Johnny Ace Palmer's guest...took a few friends and bought everyone's meal. Let's just say my bill was about $250.00. That was for 4 people eating steak. When the bill came I was like....."HOLY CRAP....ha ha. Oh well.

I have only had this happen once. I happen to be 32 and pretty "studly" ha ha if I do say so myself. Anyhow..for some reason I always seem to attract the older women in their mid 40's. Wedding receptions, bar magic, etc. True story...ha ha. Danny T and Chris W. have heard about this incident...

You are definitely getting the right idea but the font on the front page definitely needs changed. As soon as I opened it I was like "whoa...that's hard to read". I don't know if it needs broken up into smaller chunks or if it is just the style of font but it doesn't look good. Not bashing...
