Well I've been fairly quiet now for a bit as I've watched this thread develop, and I'm going to toss in my two cents now for what they are worth. My advice is complete as is. You can either listen to me, or ignore me either way you won't hurt my feelings any. Kids at school can be cruel...

Just to note, the Goth movement came out of the punk movement. Goth was a subclass of punk originally, and still is in many ways. Though i'm sure there are some romantic goths that would argue that point. Anyways... It's okay to look at other performers for inspiration, but don't take the...

Again Enzo, I say Meh. I am not impressed. You want a levitation, go watch Copperfield perform FLY. Now THAT is a levitation. There just is very few levitations (due to the nature of how they are accomplished) that work well outside of a theater environment in which you can control every...

I wouldn't use them.

How is close up any different than any of the other "types" of magic you just listed? The only thing that changes in those "types" is the venue, not the type of magic performed. Nice try though.

Wait a minute, do you actually mean to imply that there are actually periods of time (how ever brief as they may be) that you are actually not strange?! GASP!

a couple inches, in a door frame.. meh. it's another modified bladucci. Not impressed.

Your ability to perform these different effects in a way that would be entertaining I don't think is in question. I think what Steer is getting at is the format is wrong. There is no theme, nor any presented reason why the audience should care other than Ooo look at what he just did.

Blunt to the point of painful bruising but also spot on accurate. There is no theme, no story here. All I see is a collage, a random assortment of effects if you will.

I don't see how this cheapens anything. If at all it improves the art by making highly skilled and very qualified teachers available to the general mass for instructional tutorship. This is actually a good thing.

I usually use a jardenea's(sp?) wallet.

Have fun with this everyone! Break a leg.

Well done sir!

I do like Brad's teaching style. He's a very good instructor.

Just be careful. Prolonged exposure to the PK ring or M5's effects can damage the delicate workings of an analog watch!

hmm... Masters of magic like Ammar, Regal, Sankey, Houchin, Garcia, Wilson, and Sanders have no waiting list... but a card juggler does, and quite a massive one at that. Either it's just hype, or I get the feeling that something is seriously skewed with the younger generation's vision of what...

I revise what I said, either my browser didn't upload the page correctly, OR E is still adding artists, however the selection now is pretty amazing! I'll admit it. I'm pretty impressed.

Edited: see response below for my revision of opinion.

Celebrities are just people too. They are no different to perform for than anyone else. Do the right thing, perform for what you are comfortable with. Don't push it if your not ready. It's better to give her 10 minutes of amazing magic then an hour of crappy exposure. It's your show, so...

I think we should do a SNC based around presentation. Inspired off of Derren Brown's Enigma, I think we should have a list of possible basic tricks or plots to select one from, and from that one create our own presentation or spin on it. Just saying...
