I think it is tough when you are young because people have the perceived notion that you are just some kid coming up and showing them a new little trick you learned on the internet. I would perform at as many church functions, birthday gigs, scout meetings, hospitals, etc. as you can until...

I sometimes go with the, "Where can I learn that effect or please point me in the right direction." type phrasing so it doesn't sound like I'm a two year old asking to show the method. Sometimes if both magicians are jamming and throwing ideas / effects back and forth at each other then it...

Testor's Dull Cote is probably what most people use and it works fine. I have never noticed an odor but then again I have only used it on regular bikes. Jay Sankey I believe has a book that goes with an ID that gives some ideas. Not sure what the title is.

Nice pics Shane. I bet those were some fun nights and some that you were just "burnt" and wanted to head home for a nap...ha ha.

Nice Read Draven. I enjoyed it and agree with it 100 percent. When I went to see Coppefield I saw many people drinking alcohol in the seats and eating snacks. I saw many people who dressed up for the event and others who showed up looking like they just walked off the street and decided to...

Never heard of such a thing. Like Keoke said, if you are a hired bartender at a bar, then that is your job. You are there to serve drinks and maybe when somebody needs something, use that open time for a few effects but if someones comes up and wants a drink right then and there...technically...

I've done about 10 kids birthday parties and I normally charge $125. That gives them a 35-40 min. show and then 20 minutes for me to do balloon animals at the end for each and every child. Keep in mind though, I am 31 years old and have about 10 years of magic experience. I only starting...

Not yet. She is still working on the actual wedding photos and said that she had to get them edited and ready for the bride and groom before she could get to working and editing on mine. I understand. I guess I'll just wait and not annoy her. Don't worry...I'm definitely going to post them here...

Also for those of you who use the growing and shrinking head illusion (the spiral thing that goes round and round)....do not use this at an old folks home. I tried it this past summer and none of them could even bare to look at it long enough to get the visual effect to work. So....ha ha...that...

Happy Birthday man. Hope you got some cool gifts whether they be magic related or not.

My wife is supportive in that she lets me buy almost anything I want effect wise as long as it isn't over $100 for one effect. She gives me advice on my website or patter or business card designs. She hates being the guinea pig for new effects or card sleights and is rarely impressed with...

Just finished watching this at my desk....while I should be teaching about perpendicular and parallel lines...ha ha. Funny stuff guys. I liked it.

Congrats man. That is great to hear. $70 bucks an hour for that type of work is a fairly nice price.

Cool effect. I liked it. Think I have the method but who cares. It's all about the entertainment value.

Checked out the new Arcane cards coming to E on Oct. 27th. They sort of have a cool look to them. Sorry if a thread was already made on this and please do not turn this into an E bashing thread.

Kevin James's - Snowstorm I love this...have seen it live twice. His story line, music, and snow falling everywhere in the theater...it creates an unforgettable feeling. BTW...yes I know it is not real snow.

In my own defense (not that I was rude like these other guys) for the Cleveland show, I had asked politely in Kenner's PM box if it was even possible to get the chance to meet David. Chris came out and met me at the front of the stage and we chatted for a few minutes and I asked if David did...

Congrats to our first prize winner, Prae, and our two runner ups. You guys had outstanding essays. These were so difficult to pick and choose between so it was great that we had 4 judges and a scoring system. Enjoy the prizes fellas and thanks to all who donated them. This was a great...

Dave, you can't use double sided tape because when you peel off the flash paper from the lighter it will have tape on it and not burn / flash correctly or...if it does come off but the tape stays on the lighter...that looks fishy when you hand the lighter our for examination.

Fellas, right now I have been using Repositionable Glue stick about a half hour prior to performing it. I have not tried the recommended wax yet so I may try that as well but so far the repositionable glue stick adhesive is working fine.
