Any dealer who has an account with murphys will be able to get this for you.

Sinful07, The point you should take away from this is not a suggestion to hunt people down hit man style, but the realization that most people's breadth of knowledge is extremely limited. For an art that has been around for hundreds of years and of which it was once claimed that more books...

When did "creator" become synonymous with "magic dealer"? And, do you have to have a DVD output to be considered a "creator?" Just questions. Brad Henderson

William is absolutely right about card and agents. If you are booked through an agent NEVER give out you own contact information. They should provide you with appropriate cards. And I think there is a difference between spamming an event with cards and giving out cards when requested. I have...

I agree that it's always best if you can get their card - but not getting it should in no way dissuade you from giving yours (if requested). As to tips, I don't know where you live, but it has been my experience (performing in the US and a few shows overseas) that most hosts do not expect their...

Do NOT accept tips at a private show from people at the party. The host is paying you to be there to entertain their friends. They do not expect their invited guests to pay for the food they eat, they do not expect them to pay for their entertainment. If the host tips you after the event, that...

First, there is nothing wrong with opening with card tricks if they are great card tricks. (Just worked for some of the leading financiers in the world in Vegas this week - they loved the card tricks!) Money in high society often comes off as gauche. Many wealthy people do not carry cash. Trust...

I did it - If any of you guys want to flourish in Zero G, I can help get you a discount on a flight. PM me if interested. (Flight must be reserved by a certain date. Flights currently scheduled throughout the US.) Brad Henderson

Penguin, By your own admission you do not know anything about these books. That means your magical education has holes in it. You will never be worse off from becoming more informed. Brad

I know about all of those books. Don't waste time asking people to tell you about them. Open them and read them. Brad HEnderson

Have not seen the video BUT: If more people analyzed their magic performances/character/presentations with the depth of thought demonstrated here (as opposed to mere 'you flashed') then our art would spiral upward at an exponential pace. Excellent points were made - all of which could be...

You can. While the zero g flights occur on a regular basis, I am helping to design a series of special themed zero g flights for the company. We have discussed a magic themed flight, but I am unconvinced that it would pull in enough people. We have a special flight in october which will actually...

RD, steer and I have had many exchangesand I have read a good number of his posts. We have discussed some of his experiences both publicly and privately. .that aside, several of his posts indicate a lack of experience/knowledge in the history of ideas. Regardless, no one becomes an experienced...

Steer. The point is that you are far too inexperienced to be able to judge if the method you are advocating is indeed a viable one. It is not about opinions. It is not about being right or wrong. It is about someone who has been in magic only a handful of years with no discernable credentials...

Nexus, Steer, before he left for a while, and I had many chats like this. The problem isn't with his opinions - we are all entitled to them. The problem is that he is basing his opinions on a misunderstanding of the history of ideas. And this, my friend, is verifiable. When someone says...
