That's what happens when you learn off YouTube.

lol, yeah, they're totally all just jealous. Honestly, what do they have to be jealous about? lol

Which venues do you perform in? Parties, small theatre/cabaret venues, casually at friends' places are the main ones. What are the demographics of the audience you tend to perform for? Mostly teenages up to about late 20s depending on venue. What makes you different to every other performer...

Hmm. My first thought was this: What was magical about it? If I think about how I would define magic, that wasn't it. As a couple of people have said, timing is one issue. Another, is that I don't believe you when you pull out thread from your eye. It looks like you've gotten a loose eyelash...

Alright, fair enough, I understand where the "fantasy magicians" term came from. Nonetheless, I hardly think it is fair to post with the implication of my hypocrisy, let alone criticise my posting of this thread without evidence. Surely, if you recognise faults in the magical community, it is...

I think you've missed the point of this thread. Please read my post on the second page of this thread. It has nothing to do being better than anyone, or who performs, or the theory of performance or the theory of magic or performing for a group of people or fantasy magicians or looking down on...

One factor. An element which is extremely shocking, surprising, or otherwise outside of the norm. e.g. Punching the dude's girlfriend will elicit a WTF reaction. Note, I don't have anything against the WTF reaction; and I'm not gonna preach about it to you - but if you do aim for this, just...

Yes. For lack of a better example, look at the original Balducci. Or King Rising. Are you actually levitating? Of course not. Can anyone here claim to actually physically levitate? Of course not. It's the illusion of levitation. My current favourite routine has me force a number. Yet the...

The problem with what you're looking for is, the thinner they get, the weaker they get as well. How far do you want to compromise on either?

Judging from the reaction, more than one 'magician' wants reactions handed to them on a platter, without having to work for it.

As a side note - I work as an actor, so it's an affirmative from me. I don't really have much to add, since comedy isn't particularly a strength - not in the strongest performance sense of the word anyway - but I do agree with what you're saying completely. It's true though, in music, in...

Not a problem man - incidentally, I've edited the post above with a longer post, for those who may have seen the topic during the edit.

Incorrect, though I can understand where you're coming from. Incidentally, I do post a note about numbers below. Most people who see my posts know I do indeed prefer the classics. But that's not what this thread was about, although it could I suppose be applied to that. No, the reason I posted...

Sorry, would you mind explaining what you mean by 'weight into when a trick was created when you're choosing what to perform...'?

Actually, that's not exactly it. Although I do realise that that will be a byproduct of this survey. Incidentally, if you read this, could you also post if you haven't performed any of these?

That's what I've done, works wonders for me. No shamefully bad material, no tediously long videos, no blatant ripping of other artists. Don't have to notice any of that :)

Hey guys, I just had kinda a weird thought so I wanted to try something. I'll explain after a few responses have been made, but for the time being, please answer this question: How many of you have performed an effect you have purchased from Theory11 or Ellusionist in the past week, and which...

What is this other than a stubborn attempt at fishing for recognition? List of things Mystifier1 has taken into account:
