you now, this may sound obserd but I think I may take a page from this notebook, and use google earth to do a modified Q&A sometime in the near future. All I need is a stagehand with a laptop, a One way radio, and a tiny ear bud. Hell I could probably get away with a normal ear bud. With my...

I would be very worried if there ever was a time that I did not experience some kind of fear prior to a performance. I would be concerned that I had somehow died and or was dreaming. Fear is an important emotion for those in performance arts. It lets you know your alive, it focuses your...

I would have to say the choice to incorperate flourishing strongly depends on the kind of character you choose to present to your audience. Heh, I almost feel like a broken record with that character business. It's a word you'll hear me use a lot. However I stand behind what I say as I do...

Hola! Before I get into posting, and more to the point writting out a lengthy word project I wanted to poll the general populas here from the common user to even our own Theory11 artists and creative team. At work I am privledged to interact and improv off of guests from many diffrent...

Pitty you can't duplicate the effect with certain accuracy or you'd have a million dollar effect in your arsenal. Also where can you find a pocket Banacheck? I want one.

"We have magic for kids. So if you are interested in doing magic for kids or a kid and you wanna learn how to do magic." I'm sorry but these are two very diffrent categories. Performance for children involves a diffrent approach than if you are a young child who just wants to learn magic...

Happy Trails.

Hmm. I wouldn't hold your breath then boys. This doesn't look "normal" to me. I hope I'm just the devils advocate though. I hope you weren't required to give out any personal information at any time for this event.

I'd love to go but I'll probably be in VA during the con, so bummer for me. On the plus side I'll be performing at Kings Dominion theme park for six weeks.

The general public will naturally relate their experience with you to the closest available thing they know of in their repituar of experiences for conversation starters or complements. It's just how we are programed as humans. Unfortunately for young magicians 98% of the common public are...

Is it just me or did this entire thread just die out in the home stretch? Did someone actually win this? Is this Doctor Magic guy a joke or fraud? What was the outcome? Someone catch me up on this please.

Depending on what denomination the church is, stigmatta or wounded could go over okay or it could backfire in your face. The one thing it won't do is go over exceptionally well in a generic secular performance. Some churches have a rather healthy sense of humor about magic and even to an...

Keep looking. And when you find it, make sure to let him know too. I don't think he's even aware of it's existance yet.

You'll never work for premium when doing churches or comunity events. It's almost always a mitzva. A Mitzva is a yiddish word for you gents that means favor. It's the things that you do for people that forgives you for the time you kicked the puppy when you were a kid. Consider it cleaning...

Idustrial has a great mind for the theatrical and I look forward to seeing more of his developing stage show!

Don't use Boku, unless you want to be laughed at. It's the wrong congergtion. Boku is a very VERY childish way to say hello. It's like kindergarden childish. It can also be very very boy-ish too, depending on context. Either way it's not professional. You will want to use Watashi. You...
