which one of these backs are you using?

To add to this if you also stop doing the latest and greatest and/or things you learned from youtube. Take time to learn how to perform. There are many groups out there that give free classes on performing stage presence and crowd management. Doing the tricks is only one part of the magic.

Since I have done more than some members here, including you, doesn't that mean that I deserve all of their respect as well? They tell me what I have done means nothing because I'm old, or I do not tell them in a nice way. Also I can do my effects and they come out right. I do not need paid...

again invalidated.

That invalidates your entire argument.

what deck are you wanting to use? That would help in pointing you to a system

There are methods for getting the name with out it having to be written down. Sure there is some of the boring prep work edited out but you can still do them in a non-televised settings. New magicians have to understand that many of these guys use things that are not really out there for the...

That is why I do really old stuff and or own. Can't expose what is not out there or easy to find. I'm part of Craig's group on facebook. I think you are as well, and I plan on going with more out there stuff for my busking act.

One last thing. Those who just learn from youtube or from the wire and not doing the legwork end up spending more money than they should on magic. I have see things on the wire in the last year that were from the boy scout's hand book or from a puzzle book. Rick Lax put out an effect for $10...

THIS So much this. There is a reason why I stay away from new stuff. This is why I have a huge collection of magazines and books printed before 1960. This is why I create my own effects and I have a few different ways of doing some effects. I can ditch my s***l half way into my coins across and...

You know taking the time to go and find a book is doing the leg work. by "Paying" we mean pay your dues, do the leg work. So you go to the library and find that magic number 793.8. After you go though those books you start asking about getting books from other libraries. Then you see there is...

His book How to Cheat at Cards has the blood system in it.

Few things. Pay is in pay your dues do the leg work. Show that you really want to learn not just know. Like how The E and the Green Monster has standard to reach before you get into the area where they talk workings. My metentor didn't charge me to learn, but I had to show I wanted to learn. I...

Never said you had to be a pro. Some of the best magicians I have ever met were doctors or plumber. The best cups and balls worker I have ever met was a farm vet who worked mainly on horses. I do not do magic for money because that is what satifies me I do it because i'm damn good at it I love...

well you know what they say about assuming and what it does to you. I do not charge for teaching magic. I give freely of my time new magicians no matter their age. It is not just younger magicians who are stepping all over magic. There are some older guys and some new magicians who do it as...

Yes people still try to catch up the paid worker. Happens more than you would think. Happens to the bar workers happens to the guys working fairs and festivals. Doesn't matter if he is a new guy or a season pro. Some people still try. Know why I know this? I have been doing it for 20 years. I...

You do know I said teach the things you create. Even though Ammar did not create CMH. Know why they are exposing? To get people to buy their stuff. They are not teaching they are trying to make money. Exposing is teaching in an open public forum. Youtube is an open public forum. Do you have to...

Daniel Madison put is blood masking system up for free. I do not have a link but it should be easy to find. might be in one of his Revelation video links. it covers many types of cards.

We do not. That is reading into things. It has been talked about many times on this forum. There are many places other than going up to randoms on the street. Libraries hospitals retirement homes. Magic clubs hold shows once or twice a year. Community groups are also a great place to learn. So...

Well lets look at the post and i'll bold the part that you said is disrespectful... That is a set of questions. A very good set of questions all new magicians need to ask themselves at all times. Before the "street magic" thing started magicians didn;t walk up to random people and just start...
