    I'm out at 7pm tonight...

    For anyone who cares... Today rocked! I ended up being a medic for the day, and got a VIP all-access pass. I basically went where ever I wanted to on a quad the whole day...and got in for free, free food/drink, etc. Annyhow, Team USA won (but they were favored to anyways...this is the...

    I'm out at 7pm tonight...

    I'm going to the Motocross Des Nations tonight and tomarrow. Be spending the night with one of my friends who just fratured his radius and growth plate in his arm. He came up a bit short on a triple and got messed up...LOL! Anywho, don't think I'm ignoring any of your pm's. I'm just not going...

    A Great Night

    You just proved my point! You were only there for a few months. Not nearly enough time to get much experience, let alone on the business aspect of magic. Form of robbery? Hardly. Many professional magicians do what Curt mentioned. All it does is plant the idea in their mind. "Hey, this guy's...

    A Great Night

    It is, and it works. I've never done it, but will have to consider it soon. Once again, great job Curtis!

    A Great Night

    Mitchell, Those are some pretty harsh comments there and to be honest, un-called for since you don't know all the facts. I'm going to have to agree with Curtis hands down on this one. I do magic part-time to pay my bills. When I'm performing for money, I'm performing for myself. The audience...

    Joshua Jay Pro Carrier :: Review

    Keep in mind that these are made to be worn under a jacket (well...atleast I would with the Assassins Pouch). Maybe I'm underestimating the size of the pro carrier?? I'll have to look into it a bit more. For $20, it wouldn;t be the worse thing if I bought it and didn't like it. :D Thanks...

    Joshua Jay Pro Carrier :: Review

    I liked the review for the most part. Just wish that people would be more realistic instead of giving everything 9/10, 10/10, etc. That's just a bit annoying to me personally, as nothing is perfect and there is always room to improve. If not, then no new magic tricks would be able to improve...

    Bicycle Guardians : 1st Edition - Sold Out

    I'm just curious how they're going to differentiate the first editions from the second editions. Any noticeable visual changes?? Best. Steve

    Where to look....

    Just something to think about... You run a big risk performing at the fair when you're not scheduled too. Not only risk pissing people off, ubt just due to the fact your not covered by anything or anyone. If you get hurt, you're on your own. If someone else gets hurt from you or your show...

    Marketing w/ Magic 101...what it takes to be a pro.

    Glad to hear it. I might have to check out my state chapter soon. Sounds like a ton of possibilities to say the least. Hope you got something useful from this thread, and feel free to PM me. Best. Steve

    Marketing w/ Magic 101...what it takes to be a pro.

    Thanks for all the positive responses guys! :D Steerpike, Now that you mention it, the could perhaps be a great opportunity to market my magic and get more contacts as well to send my promo kit too. Thanks for the idea! Steve

    -<Magic>-

    How about none?? Too many people, and too many angles to worry about. I once made that mistake, and won't do it again. Hell...I don't do any levitation anymore. Just not me... Good Luck! Steve

    Where to look....

    If you're refering to me, then let me explain. I was telling him I doubt if he's ready to be performing at a fair. From my recent experience (and I am by no means an expert), this is the kind of event that if you're not prepared, you're going to get thrown on your ass relatively quickly. As...

    Where to look....

    In my personal opinion, you're obviously not ready. This is not something you "run down there and see what you can do". If it's not planned months in advance, it ain't happening. I should also note that you'll most likely need liability insurance. That can cost about $200 for 1 million...

    Magiczine!

    'Nuff said. On another note, I think I'll pass on "Airstep". Just not my flavor, and the method looks kinda obvious. Not sure about the Icarous (sp?) levitation, but I just showed the video to my brother, and he immediately guessed it. That's not to say it won't fool anyone, but I personally...

    Boston's Penetration (aka A Minty Fresh Scam)

    I'd say it has more to do with luck than anything. Not sure how many times you've been to Boston's, but I doubt it's an often occurance. Best. Steve
