You're an ass Byme. I hope you realize that.

Magic Beyond Words Here's a SNC idea for you. Magic is universal. Magic transcends language barriers. People understand entertainment, and can be moved powerfully by the images that they see, regardless of race, nationality, creed, or language. Use magic to create a presentation that...

This is a straw man argument and you know it! Proper phone etiquate is something that everyone should have when dealing business for oneself. No matter how big you are. Secondly, Randy, Not EVERYONE has the luxury of having an agent or manager. Yes, for me, it's easy. I live in LA...

I have an agent. His name is Aye Jaye. Maybe you've heard of him? He was the first Ronald McDonald. But just because I've got a fricking awesome manager doesn't mean that I don't go looking for gigs myself. That's just stupid to put all my eggs into one basket. Don't mix up the issues...

Don't be ambiguous with me. I don't play mind games like that. If you got something to say, then man up and say it. I'm a big boy, I think I can handle a little bit of criticism once in a while. How so? I don't get where you are going with this. You're treading into dangerous waters...

No. Not everyone does. Just most of corporate America, and fortune 500 companies. There's always an exception to the rule, sure. But I'm sure businesses whose phone skills are less than professional don't stick around too long anyway. And what's wrong with craigslist, if you know how to...

Randy: When I call a business I don't want to hear "Hello". That sounds sooooo unprofessional. As a consumer I expect to hear something like: "Thank you for calling Target, my name is Tess. How may I help you?" That sound way more professional.

Ever call a business from the yellow pages to get a quote on something you need, only to be met with a "hello" on the other end? Ever get that sudden sinking feeling that the company your calling is less than creditable? So if you're booking yourself out as a magician, why the hell do you...

I really think it just depends on the effect. Sometimes I'll only buy one effect for several months, others it seems like every other week. I just try to limit my purchases to things that I am certain I'll be adding to my act. I try to keep impulse buys to a minimum.

Probably. That joke's been passed around the Magic Castle like a bowl of candy.

Entertainment Magic i about entertaining. It is not about the tricks, it's about the experience provided by the performer. People all seem to love a good show. That's why shows like "I Love Lucy" still have a following even 50 years after the fact. It's because of this love for...

I'm going to echo the above. If you don't know anything more than some old guy is watching kids at a college then it does sound fishy. Also there's a difference between dealing and out right cheating. I guess it really depends on what he wants you to do. But hey, if the money is good, I...

Here's the vid link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPFdn65WWJg

Oh sure. I'll even upload the video to youtube. It should be available in about 40 minutes. I did a trust fall with that kid earlier, in where I fell backwards and I trusted him to catch me. I explained that you HAVE to have trust to do my kind of act. Trust in your audience, trust...

No, that video is from a show Saturday night in Sedona, Arizona at a dinner theater called Relics. Thanks. I wish I could take credit for the recap joke, but it's not mine.

LoL That's actually pretty funny. Well done!

This is a performance video on my adaptation of the classic strait jacket escape. I would welcome opinions, or comments. This is still an experimental routine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz03B7mw4kc

Here's a performance link to my personal adaptation of watermark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MQIOtRjLsc

I wish it was. William Draven is a stage name. My real name is Wayne Phelps

Oh I hear ya. You were by far not the most vocal in that bunch. And I acknowledge that you weren't nonconstructive in your comments, Props to that. That does indeed sound painful!
