You are absolutely right. Lots of hip hop artists dress with fitting clothes, look at any recent pictures of Drake, Eminem, Jay Z, the list can go on. But, what DOES make him a hip hop magician is that HE considers HIMSELF as a hip hop magician. Why are people trying to challenge that? Are you...

Basically it is a way of life because it affects your decisions, reasoning, and just way of thinking. Hip hop can be a style choice, it can mean that you rap, it can mean you listen to rap and are influenced by it, hip hop can be growing up in the ghetto and having a certain swagger, hip hop...

Also It think that if your associate yourself as hip hop then you are hip-hop. If you listen to it, watch shows related to it, live life as hip hop describes it (in countless songs), then you ARE hip-hop. Hip-hop is definitely a culture and it exists in a variety of individuals. Doesn't matter...

Hip Magicians in Philly Yo Smooth, being from Philly I myself am hip-hip influenced and I know quite a few who still bring that edge to the stage. If your ever passing thru Philadelphia give me a shout either on here or find me on Google. I like your performance style and comedy. Keep it...

Lol its new to me, I have to check that out! Hey dan

My point exactly! Your audience in walk-around usually has a very short attention span!

I'd have to agree on most of your points Brad. What I disagree on is that you said alot of people "pumping out" these DVDs "have no idea what it takes to deliver a solid performance" I'm sure that they have an Idea on what it takes but focus their attention on creation. Some creators know that...

I sent you a PM

haha, He's actually getting pretty good at presentation lately. He has been performing at the Trickzone in Philadelphia and every show he seems to improve a lot. Im guessing he focused on creating in the beginning of his career.

Has anyone gotten Flink Flop by Dan Hauss on papercrane? I've seen it done and its really good. I am thinking of getting it cuz I am going to puerto rico this weekend. Just wanna hear some thoughts on it.

Hey guys I forgot about this thread. Its great to hear all of you thoughts on the matter. The heckler that I encountered was really an @$$ who kept on trying to think of explanations to the effects I was performing. I took it as a challenge and did my ambitious card then ended it with...

I see where you are coming from. He did sound unnatural but I'm willing to bet it was because there was no one there. Ok lets stop haha, we are just repeating ourselves. TRUCE

Heart-to-heart in my context meant to have a serious conversation with him, that's all. Sometimes its hard to call out a friend on things they are doing wrong, especially if they have strong feelings for what they are doing.

I agree 100%. You should really just have a heart-to-heart conversation with him.

Yeah I didn't say it was racist and I also said I wasn't offended. I just felt your comment was inappropriate. I got the point you were trying to make and I repeatedly said it was a valid point. I feel like you have some great input for magicians on this site, I just feel the analogy was...

I think its not that bad to speak the way he did. It all depends on what type of character/persona he wants to build for his audience. Most successful magicians have their own character/persona. It adds another element of entertainment and uniqueness. Personally I was entertained with what he...

Ok so I saw the routine and it is good (agree about the less movement in the hands for the muscle pass) The routine provides justification for every phase and is complete. I disagree that this is too much patter for this effect because it will keep the audience engaged. I prefer this type of...

I think its just a process, and honestly I always see classics in action. I hang out with lots of magicians here in Philly so I guess its different. I think the new is just as important as the old. Bobo's is an amazing resource for coin magic (common knowledge) Eric Jone's (Good friend) material...

The key is to always have an out!

I had a similar fail (AT A GIG) with universal impression. It failed (nothing showed up) I didn't panic at all. I had my invisible deck in my pocket. I said "ok so I am going to make a prediction. " I took one card (never showed it) and placed it face down in the face up deck. I then...
