check with your court house. i know that in so cal where i live there are two locations that you can get away without having a license.

And it looks like Harry Houdini isn't the only thing that's back from the dead! The short of it is: *Don't perform another working magicians private, unpublished, personal effects without their permission. *If you figure out a trick by watching someone else perform it, and can...

I've decided to put my cards where my mouth is. I'm going to try a 31 day (month) long busking experement. I'm going to take my skills to the street, with obvious goals set in place and see if I can't meet or exceed them. I'll be bloging daily about my exploits, lessons, and...

Magic is a pool of water. No matter how small a stone that you toss into it, it still makes a ripple that is seen across the entire pool and the effects of that ripple are still felt by anything connected to the water. Discussing, talking, and theorizing about what you can do to improve or...

Way to random, no contenuity between acts and no overall theme. Feels too much like you are doing magic for the sake of the individual effect, not for the enjoyment of the spectators.

I don't do well around jerks like that Vega. I would have told him to get his own deck from the start. I don't take orders. I probably would have told him off by the end of the night as well. As you can imagine I don't impress easly, and this guy's list of credits is laughable.

The persuit of a dream. Entertainment. To entertain. The thrill of the ovation, the rush of taking the stage, the challenge of pushing yourself harder, faster, stronger, longer. The constant re-inventing of yourself, the marketing of your act, the never ending cycle of proving yourself and...

If he had more than 5 minutes Dicer then I would most certainly agree with you. However a 5 minute set gives you no time to establish a character let alone connect with your audience. I do agree with you though. Anyother time you'd be dead on right. But given the set time, I think what...

It doesn't really matter what anyone else says. It's not their gig. Any material suggested that you don't already know will have a learning curve to it. A talent show isn't the right format to debute untested material. Especially if there are going to be scouts there. You're much better off...

Could always be worse. Candle Jack could be he...

Wow... I didn't expect this thread to bloom (or perhaps explode) the way it has while I've been away today. A lot of great points have been raised. I think I'll contribute mine now. Certainly, to comment on what was said earlier, not everyone who lives below the poverty line is a...

Lies! Just after 3 hours of putting on official Tony Hawk briefs, matching sports cup and shoes I was totally rocking the local skate park! Kids half my age were in awe of my mad skillz while I was kicking it old school. People were like "Omg my bff totaly sucks compaired to your bbq trix...

I own ladybug and I have to say that I'm fairly apparhetic to it. For starters it requires you to keep and maintain another living organism for the effect, though on the plus side ladybugs are fairly low maintenance. The effect while stunning, isn't good for large audiences do to non...

Since morals and ethics are hot topics right now, here's a little situation to ponder. If you had to use your sleight of hand for survival as a means of connig (or out right stealing) people out of money, food, etc would you do it?

This is a wonderful post, and well worth bookmarking.

I am a noob all things considered. I don't really care about cards.

Try placing a mason jar out on the shelf by an open window and put some Honey in the bottom. Just keep an eye on it. Sooner or later you'll get a fly or three.

No... That is actually a statement. A question begins with words like Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. For example: "What is the theory of magic with new card tricks?" Notice the "?" at the end? (also a question) That's called a question mark. It ends sentences that are quesions...

I speak for myself and no one else. I am not perfect, I am well practiced. I have been wrong before, and have been so a few times on this forum here. I have no problems correcting myself when I have been proven wrong even if it means that I end up eating my own words. Mistakes happen...
