JB I'd love to man, but such is the pains of a starving artist. I've spent all my expendable income on my shows at Anime Expo, and Las Vegas Wonderground. Maybe next year...

There is only one. Fortunately it's the best. The Magic Apple. 11390 Ventura Blvd second floor CA 91604-3152 (818) 508-9921

This is a video clip from my performance during my production of Magic Macabre this year at the nations largest anime convention Anime Expo. Staring in the show this year was teen magician, and local favorite of the convention Jeff Favor. From the famed Hollywood FreakShow Deluxe Reverend...

I wish I could have participated this year, but that didn't happen for me. I hear the lag is just awful!

Without knowing what all you have at your disposal to work with I would advise sitting down with a piece of paper and just writing our your tricks in complete that you know how to do(regardless of how well you know how to do them), their names, their theme (close up, stage, parlor, etc) and...

I have a few looks, but they are all along the same upscale gothic/steampunk style. Church, Corporate, Stage, or otherwise, I keep the same general appearance in order to maintain character. I really don't like the jeans and T-shirt look. I think it's sloppy. I believe you should be the best...

It's not about talent... it's about ratings. Trust me, if that show WANTED to make a magician look good they would. The producers know from almost the second they cast who they want to win. It's nothing like an actual talent competition.

Well without going too historical, and theoretical on you, it has been said (and I do believe it to a degree) that there is no new magic tricks. Basically everything that we can do has already been done, and anything on the market today is just a re-envision, re-tooling, or alternative handling...

Break a leg!

Once again at Anime Expo in Los Angeles, California magic filled a showroom otherwise dedicated to the animated art of the Japanese culture. The opponents of the show contesting that magic as a viable form of entertainment was too outside the industry to be enjoyed or desired by the fan base...

Ced! I was wondering when you'd chime in. Good to see you're still haunting the forums. Just a minor note, if you're referring to my mentor, then it's Aye Jaye- you were close. If not, then disregard that correction. Good to see you're reply too Don. I'm glad to see another on this forum...

Doesn't change my opinion one bit. Your too young, in my honest, most respectful, humble opinion, and have no business performing this stunt. I will not help you with this. You're a good kid Casey, I've seen you around the forum for a bit now. You've got a long road as a magician ahead of...

I hope I never reach a point in career or ego that I believe I know it all. If I should ever get there- please someone either punch me in the face, or ask me to retire. That being said I just recently had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Jeff McBride in Las Vegas at his monthly...

One of the most exciting, and equally frustrating things about being a student of magic is having the opportunity to sit before a master and have the humbling revelation of standing not at the top of the mountain, but rather on the small foothill beneath it. Never once believe for a second that...

Several is a word that is used to indicate 3 or more. IF you are 12 and you've been doing it for several years then that means you would have started it around... 8 or 9 years of age. I'm not one to judge if that is indeed the case, but I think you're probably exaggerating a bit on your...

If you are only 12 then you have no business performing this STUNT until you are at the least 18 years old, and legally no longer the responsibility of your parents. this STUNT is dangerous, and can cause serious injury if you haven't been properly trained to do it by someone who knows what...

Being someone who has busked before, I can say it's a harsh way to earn cash. Either you live like a king, or you don't eat. It's not stable in any means. I would suggest you try it out at home first before going over seas with it. It's not as simple as walking out, doing a trick for a...

Another E vs T thread? Can we just get a mod to shut it down now before this erupts into flames? I don't think this forum can handle this discussion maturely.

I'm sad I was working a couple gigs yesterday, I would have loved to compete. Not for the prize though, I could care less about EMC tickets. But I would have loved the creative challenge. Congratz to our winner! Amazing stuff.
