    Daniel Madison’s ‘Hunger’ ends with hospitalization.

    How do you see starving yourself admirable?? That's nothing to admire anyone for. Maybe the reason he did it, but to me I see it as pointless. Regardless, it's not my position to judge him based on why he did it, what his intentions were, etc. But none the less, this is a message board and I...

    Daniel Madison’s ‘Hunger’ ends with hospitalization.

    Personally, I don't see the point in going that long without eating. Publicity? Money? I think it's by far different than the stunts DB does, but not in a good way. No disrespect to Daniel, but in the end it's no different than a teenage girl not eating for a month. Sadly, that happens entirely...

    Card Magic and Restaurants

    My two favorite dvds on the subject of restaurant magic are both by Jay Sankey. His "Real Work on Restaurants and Bars" dvd is very solid, and touches on the major points of performing in a restaurant quite well. I also think there is some excellent "A" material on there as well. The Blackpool...

    Card Magic and Restaurants

    The ironic thing for me is, as much as I perform in restaurants, most of my tricks have come from things you NEVER imaging performing in a restaurant. A trick where there is a lengthy set up, etc. But, I've changed it up to get rid of that set up and make it instant reset, without losing any of...

    Your thoughts on Brad Christian

    Sheesh...for a group of people that don't like Ellusionist, you guys sure talk about them a lot. :rolleyes: Grow up. Really. If I don't like someone, I just don't talk about them. E is a great company that puts out good products. Same with T11. Why people try to make something out of nothing...

    Boring Magicians, Boring Rumbles

    I couldn't agree more with the OP. A lot of times, a lot of magicians just say what they're doing, which to me is kinda pointless. "Here, I'll just put your card in the middle of the deck" <<-- Said as the magician puts the card in the middle of the deck. IMO, if the audience can see you...

    Thanksgiving Performance Live

    One thing to work on is you move around waaaaaay to much, and I'm not talking about walking to get something. To a spectator, it's confusing enough to keep track of what's going on, and even harder when the magician is always moving around. Stand still and don't move so often. Another thing to...

    Great effects for parties?

    The answer is quite obvious. First off, look at how much material you own. Secondly, you don't have time to learn anything new. So, how can anyone here know what you perform well???? Only you can. Only you can know what will go over well, and what wouldn't based on your audience. Perform...

    Logo

    No one else thinks it looks a lot like that T11 logo?? That was the first thing I saw. Personally, I think you could do much better, David. Some of the editing in your videos is awesome, compared to the logo you came up with. And if that was your first go-round at designing a logo, you're doing...

    African-American Magicians?

    Black magicians?? Yes, there are plenty. I've had the pleasure to see Ice McDonald lecture this past year, and it was one of the most informative lectures I've seen in quite some time. Not the tricks, but his advice on the business side of things. Well worth the price 10 times over for sure...

    Bicycle Karnival Deck... VERY Short Review

    So...I've talked to a few people from here about the new Bicycle Karnival deck. Just got mine in today, and thought I'd throw a quick (VERY quick) review out there. Long story short, the cards handle like bicycle cards are known for. If there's anything different, I don't notice it. The design...

    What Is This Trick?

    Yea, that's kinda very impossible to learn it in a lecture, since he died in June 2006. Not sure the exact date, but pretty positive on that one. RIP Tommy. :(
