I have all of mine done at a local printers. Even if they cost a little more and an online place you can't beat having someplace where you can go in and talk to someone. To help flesh out your ideas. Most of the time they will have a graphic person in house to help with your design issues.

When I table hop I have nine to twelve effects on me so by the time I get to the third or fourth table I have yet to repeat an effect. This way i'm far enough from the first table that they can't see what i'm doing and this new table hasn't them. I really try to stay away from anything that you...

There are two other books I would look at. Steal like an artist and accidental genius.

And we are glad to help. I'm not sure if they have any in Latvia but magic clubs can also be a great place to get your feet wet. Many of them hold at least one show a year sometimes more. Here is the thing. Yes yours is an opinion. What those of us who have years of work and performing...

They locked the last one of these since it will be the SNC.

The other issue you will run into is not only the limited number of hours a week and in a day but how often you must take a break. There are many many rules for under 16 and under 18 workers.

I was elected president of my local IBM ring when I was 17. Age has nothing to do with it. It's an attitude thing. It's understanding respecting those who know more than you. No one brushed Joshua Jay off as a kid. Know why? He carried himself in a mature way. The fact to are lumping yourself...

Having said that there are normally provisos for child performers. What i would do is call the local wage and hour and ask about the child labor laws for your state and or even county because ti can change by county.

The issue will be age. Either from labor laws or for places not wanting a 15 year old working in their establishment. There are a few states that let under 1 work but for farm jobs or for like 5 to 10 hours a week. I would also really try to hook up with the local IBM or SAM group to talk to the...

Do you think he would have made it that far with that skill level if he was 35 and fat? There were far better magicians on that show in past season who didn't get as far because they weren't young and cute. Also do you really think that the producers would let someone who is young and cute and...

Okay I'm taking the gloves off. There is no nostalgia glasses here. I don't come on here talking about all of the world class magicians I have met. Who i use to sit around tables with at conventions. There is no maybe to it. I am more skilled. I have twenty years under my belt. Some of the...

You can disagree but there is four pages here from pro and semi pro workers, some who have been doing magic longer than most users here have been alive, tell ya'll that this was never a thing before like 1996 or so. We know first hand that people do not like to be bothered while out in their day...

That is why I stay away from cards. I did a chop cup, some coins and rubber bands. I could do all of the effects in rubber gloves and with a mask on. I mostly did magic for older long term care folks who were there with cancer or some other noninfectious condition.

I also pointed out hospitals and children wings of of hospitals are great places. Some people are in long term care or have no family and would love for someone to pay attention to them even if it just ten or fifteen minutes you are there. But remember to do more that just do a few effects. Take...

We did tell him to volenteer places where it;s okay to be not great. Places where people are happy to have someone to talk to. As for the street magic thing, you are missing the point. People do not like to be bugged in public. That what we have spent three pages saying. No one likes some...

I would like to repost something from a blog I read... Do you want to come across as socially awkward? As someone who has trouble figuring out the line between what is okay to do and what is not okay to do? If so, become a magician.... no wait, even better... become a Street Magician. I'm not...

But when I go to youtube I'm not looking how to do the effect, I just wanted to show someone in the office the cool thing I saw on TV. I just wanted to see it performed. In my example I didn't want to know who to bake the cake I just wanted the company history. Also in the example library the...

Wait it kinda is science. Physics.

I have done that at a few places. The more upscale places where the wait staff cared. Not saying that they don't care at chain places but less of them care. Know what i'm driving at?

To expand on the point made by Chrisopher... I use to do a ton of strolling work in restaurants. I would never walk up to a table and pull out the rubber bands or silk. I would come up the the table introduce myself ask how their evening was going. If they needed anything or if they needed...
