Wait stop what do you mean dressing like a magician?

On a sidenote at the rate Google is running youtube into the ground by forcing G+ onto people we might not have to worry about it much longer.

Brian again the library analogy for Youtube is not a solid one. If you go to the library to do research on a local bakery, you do not have the librarian coming up with three different books on how to bake the cake that made the bakery famous. You go to youtube and to show a coworker that cool...

I was 18 when I started working a paid performer. It is more of a skill level over age when it comes to getting people to give you mnoey. You could ask about maybe setting up in the food court or by one of the fountains or bench areas. Places where people are stopping. not in a place where you...

And it;s not that people do not like magic. They just like their privacy more.

To busk you call city and ask about a permit. Just because there are a lot of street magicians (which there really aren't) doesn't mean people want to be bugged. I use to busk and do street fairs. I was performing magic before the "street" magic thing started. I can tell you from what I have...

No not wrong. When before the Blaine special street magic was busking. There were never random teens and 20 somethings coming up to random strangers asking if they want to see magic. People in the USA really don;t want to be bugged but most are polite enough not to tell them to take a hike.

Really 45 days is not enough time if you have nothing. It doesn't give you enough time to write the patter, learn the act, work on all of you outs, the staging and the practice.

What Rick said about the fire stuff. In some cities you have to have a special permit for the fire on top of the place your are performing. You might also have to show the Fire Marshall what you will be doing. They also will want to make sure that someone has fire suppression close at hand...

This is what I have been talking about. "Street" magic was never a real thing. It is what David Blaine did for his TV special. No one really wants to be bugged by someone coming up to them asking if they want to see some magic or a trick. People really do not want some strange man coming up to...

And it's not new.

Not really a new idea.

This is why it kills me that I lost my hardback copy of Pallbearers Review my set of MO and my complete set of original Tops in a flood. The cost of pallbearers review is pushing $700 for a good copy. It is one of those I would buy as an Ebook or PDF until I can find a hard copy again. MO just...

I live in Texas and I have never had one of my plastic deck warp.

That reminds me i need to buy El Cheapo from Lybrary tonight.

Yes While i'm not a fan of ebooks over paper between http://conjuringarts.org/ and http://www.lybrary.com/ and don't forget that Abbots has the originial Tops Magazine as a PDF you can get some pretty killer OOP books.

I know the answer to this one.

Call and tell them that you do not do the type of magic they need. That or offer to do strolling magic in the lobby before the show.

No not some, all magic in books and magazines are copyrighted. That is why it has the copy right in the front of the book. There is a difference between going to the library or tracking down a local magician and learning magic from exposure on youtube. One if the proper way the other is a form...

Jerek does expose commercial effects on his website. Not only that he uses famous magician names in the title of his videos. So you feel that if it is in a book and not sold as a download or as a single effect by some company such as P3, T11, Vanishing Inc ect ect, then it is okay to put out...
