I liked it a lot. A nice little story or patter that fits why the pips come off would be sweet. Great effect and presentation.

Way too much like regular bikes. I think most people would favor a design from scratch. Keep up the work though.

I get great reactions with my wiregrams but yes you have to be careful with them or they lose their ability to look exactly how the day you received them. I've had a few spectators want to touch them or bend them to see how strong they are. This is a big NO NO. I do not even hand them out for...

What about Bill Abbott's Smart Ass routine. I think it uses a deck of cards and one giant card that a spectator sits on. It might be ok for a decent crowd. What about the Gazzo tossed out deck?

Doug, I have to put my two sick kids to bed first and if it is anything like last night....Not good...my wife and I were up until 4 a.m. with coughing sniffling sick kids and then had to go into work by 7:00. I might have to pass and catch you guys on the weekend when everyone is better. Sorry.

I will second the Art of Card Spitting however I found that making gaffs is a long frustrating process as every step needs to be carried out without much room for error. It didn't take long for me to figure out it was easier just to search ebay or other magic shops for entire decks of gaff...

I normally go to the Battle of Magicians in Canton which is normally the last weekend of April or beginning of May. I have never been to Magi Fest but have heard great things about it. I will have to go sometime. If I do decide I'll contact you on here and that would be cool to meet up for a...

That was a great read. Very descriptive and you brought it to life. I was able to see everything happening. Keep it up man..

Thanks Doug. Haven't seen you in any of the chats recently but then again Justin has been busy and isn't always available. I'm sure I talk to you soon if he has one this Wed, Friday or Saturday.

"I am sure on your business card it doesn't say "hobbyist". As an educator, please keep in mind the lessons you are giving up and coming magicians." Ha Ha....I had to laugh at that because you so called me out on that one and it is funny because it is true. I guess I don't really consider...

Thanks for the tips. I am just so confused though because I really enjoy both balloons and magic. At this point I don't believe I could choose one or the other. I think it makes me a little more versatile but you are correct that in that if I would just focus on one or the other I would become...

I am in Ring #243 out of Canton, Ohio.

A few people have asked what my experience level was before this gig so this is the best description I can give. I have been in magic 8 years but just toyed around the first seven only performing for friends and family with a trick here and a trick there. However, for those 7 years I have...

Well...I'm back. Here is the run down as I reflect back. Today was a very valuable learning lesson. The gig was at a doctor's office for a fall festival. I was supposed to do strolling magic from 1:30 to 2:30 and then balloons from 2:30 to 3:30. Crowd of 150 people. Right from the get...

I have my first strolling gig today at 12:00 and am a little nervous but think I will be fine. I've done kids birthday parties before but never walking around doing closeup for adults. I will post when I get home so everyone can see the lessons I learned...what went well what needs...

I would second the book test. It would be a hard hitting effect for English class. But then again...if you have an arsenal of favorite tricks....choose what you will enjoy performing the most. Choose something that you've done a million times and know you can really "sell" the effect and...

Yes...Keep it how you just posted it. That looks very nice. I like it a lot. I think I was confused earlier and thought that all of the info was on the front and it was like a split color front. Seeker makes a valid point. You may want to have a reveal somewhere on the card. Mine just...

I agree with Faded Temp. I think your business card may look more appealing if it is somehow set up horizontally. I seem to like the design because it is simple. For me the phone number looks weird but maybe that is how you write yours out based on your location. Most of the numbers around me...

Brad, I guess we see things differently and that is your opinion. I am not going to get into an education battle with you. I am glad that you have your master's degree as do I. I am actually taking Special Education Law right to complete my Elementary Ed / Middle School principal's license. I...

I do not have any experience performing for college audiences but rather audiences in their late 20's and early 30's. I have found that you need to be careful when there are guys and girls around who are together (dating / engaged / married) because if the girl starts showing interest in what...
