D, I think I got my first marketable effect, Love to chat with you about it.

LoL I'd be lying if I said that I haven't considered it. However I'm not usually the first person parents come running to when it's time to schedule their kids party entertainment. ....though I do offer a free thearopy session afterwords.

Around 10 you say? If you want to succeed, then I recomend highly visual, and comedic acts. Kids don't really go for the double handed backwards slide, half helix mule kick to the crotch card sleights. They love topsy turvey bottles, and bra from handkerchiefs though! Build a show...

(Continued from Above) Chapter 3: Rules Every Actor or Performer Should Know and Follow 1) Never change the production of the show once it has been set in final dress rehearsal unless approved by the director. 2) Never make any wardrobe changes unless approved by costuming & wardrobe...

Etiquette for Magicians and Other Stage Performers Preface: I wanted for sometime to do a study and compose a list of accepted “rules of theater.” I’ve been around the stage long enough now, both in and out of magic, to know there are just some things that people do or hold sacred. They...

God @#%!# I'm going to fire my microsoft word checking program. I swear to god the next computer I get will be an apple. I suppose it's pointless at this time to feign ability to spell. I can drive nails into my skull, swallow fire, and pull string from my stomach, but I can't spell to save...

Assuming you've got a show with enough material that is visual, funny, and good for any age then I'd say no more than $200 for the hour/event/ show Most parents won't pay more than $150 to $200 for a kids magician anyways. Most of your money made will be from getting other bookings from...

I think it really just depends on what your ultimate goals are in magic. If you are hell bent on being the next Wayne Houchin then practicing, understanding, being able to teach, break down and get inside the head of the people who invented, and perform every move you can come across is a...

That's fine, I'll actually be putting both of my longer essays together into a PDF that will be purchasable from my website shortly as well. So they won't be lost.

Final Chapter has been posted. Part 8. I hope you enjoy!

You’ve Got Talent: Characterizing the Presentation of Magic (Chapter 13 of 13) Final Chapter. Preface: Just a note to my readers (Assuming I have some) I am aware that the other posts in this series outlined a 15 chapter document, while this final post cuts off at chapter 13. This isn't...

I'm glad you are enjoying them! I've got 1 chapter left to write, I thought I would have 15 total chapters, but thanks to the miricals of editing, I've merged two chapters into one. It's outlined, I just haven't sat down to compose it yet. The essay contest interupted that creative process...

Yeah, Morgs right. When you create such an easy out for your audience to dismiss your entire performace then the magic of the moment has been lost on them. The reason why cards were ever used in magic to begin with was because they were common. People knew them, they trusted them, they saw...

Hello Sergio. What can I help you with?

Great idea. Might be worth a weekend if I've got nothing else to do, but not very practical. I agree with others above. I don't think it will stop or put a dent into the exposure problem. IF anything it may draw you some uneccessary flames from idiots on the net.

Personally, there is a time for performing, and a time for school work. IF the oppertunity comes up where the two shall meet then wonderful. However, I get the impression that you are trying to jam a square peg into a round hole. Talking about your love for magic could make a great...

Shane it's not. I saw the link to this persons website yesterday. It's all very real.

Shane: A Joke Shop is a low level magic store that are popular through the mid west and east cost. They usually sell $5 clowning gags like extending forks, joy buzzers whoopee cousins, X-ray Glasses, Fake noses, squirting rings, and the like. They also typically sell an assortment of magic...

Take a rest my friend. Clear your mind.

Silverfang HEEL! Don't make me get my torn and restored rolled up news paper.... Your not helping this situation my friend. Don't give the troll any amunition. We already have the higher (moral) ground. Just report the thread, step back and let the mods do their work.
