Instead of spending $60 bucks on your next magic trick, instead invest it on a DVD or Book about Hecklers, or Audience Managment. It sounds like you need it. Here's the facts. There are always going to be jerks out there that will try to get your best. If you acknoweldge them, then you...

Thank you Jon! Great read!

and with that, I'll admit defeat here. I think there has been some valid objections raised. I would argue the same points if this were not my own thread. thread reported.

Probably a good idea. Adue

He will be missed.

... I really don't get what is so hard to understand about my theory involving the apotheosis of man as seen in the personification of the trickster or magician archetype.... And welcome to the site! I hope you make yourself at home here. This place is a wonderful resource for great...

meh. maybe I will dissapear for a bit.

it is with great sadness that I get to report the death of Carl Ballentine. He was a friend and a legend. RIP. if you dont know this name then do some googe searches.

Yes.... Actually Yes I do. I like to try to be, oh what's that word I'm looking for? Oh yes! "Involved" around here. [/sarcasm] I try to not focus on the negative too much. I don't find it constructive.

I think I've hit a nasty case of writers block. The creative well of my mind has gone dry... I guess it's back to lurking until I have something worth while to say.

Maybe. Or he's seen one or two work somewhere. His post doesn't strike me as someone who really has a clear grip on the idea of what he wants. He's way to vague on a couple of his own major selling points. This post is inspiring though. I think I'm going to draft an outline for an essay...

Oh please please don't take me for complaining about the pay. I'm not. A bill is a bill. And it's 100 more than I have right now. Even though I normally charge at least $200 for this type of event, I've been known to cut my prices for the sake of getting a gig. I'm just picking appart the...

So I'm looking through the usual help wanted adds on craigslist to help bring in some extra cash this month, and I came across this gem. By the way, if you don't already use Craigslist to get gigs, then consider it. However be warned it's really hit-and-miss, most of the time it's crap, or...

Being a magician. What is a magician anyays? Cards, coins, doves? Is it about going to kids birthday parties, or taking the stage to a sold out house? Is it about the newest effects or the coolest toys? Or how about all of our “secret” clubs and organizations for magicians by magicians, is it...

probably a more advance concept than most here are ready for. if the only reason you are taking that concept is to avoid the special powers subject then you are missing the point. the point is that you have the power but the experience is dynamic. you never know what will happen so your just...

Awesome! I love Halloween! It's the one day out of the year that I actually fit in with the rest of the freaks. Frankly, I'm convinced that I'm the "normal" one most of the time.

What does my deck say about me? 1) I don't use them often, since I can probably count the number of full decks in my possession on two hands. 2) If I do use a deck, and I'm not "in character" then it's usually a bike. Red or Blue. Nothing special. 3) If I need to use a deck for a gig, or...

Prae, This was very well written. Bravo! If more people used these custom decks for image over form, function, or a self delusional sense of "coolness" I think the impact of these decks would be a lot greater.

And I'm still interested. I want video or details!

To everyone, and theirs, Have a wonderful, spooky, safe, and most important happy Halloween tonight. Is anyone performing anywhere? If so, what are you doing to make your act the scariest?
