Go placidly amid the noise & waste, & remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof. Avoid quiet & passive persons unless you are in need of sleep. Rotate your tires. Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself and heed well their advice even though they be turkeys; know...

Well done! I can read and understand this post. Keep it up!

As an entertainer you can be remembered for two things. Who you are, and what it is that you do. The magicians who are remembered for what they do usually are spoken of fondly by people in afterthought about the amazing effects that they performed at the companies christmas party the year...

Hardly. It comes off as defensive. Let me clarify. I'm not saying to not bother coming up with new material. I'm just saying that realisticly invinting something completely new with cards is like finding a needle in a hay stack. Just about all card plots, premises, and moves there is...

Your entire focus should be on your misdirection and audience control, and not the presentation. Your presentations should be well rehearsed and planned out in advance. There should be no questions in your mind as to what to say or when to say it. Your effect or routine should be scripted...

Bump. And for good reason! This thread shall never die!

Bill Malone as a entertainer and teacher is great. Your money won't be miss-spent by purchasing his dvds. However I do have to agree that his humor is an acquired taste. I find him more like a failed insult comedian turned magician, but make no mistake; he's a damn good magician.

I didn't think you still were around this place. I thought you said you were gone for good?

I'm going to play the bad guy here Jr, and say what needs to be said without sugar coating it. We all here really want to talk with you and engage you on conversation. You are a magician and you have a good interest in magic. We all respect that. However be it a language barrier, your...

Nothing more than reviews I'm afraid. I've not bought any new material in a few months.

well a professional is in the strictest of definitions someone who gets paid to do magic. With that being said I don't think professionals look down on hobbiest as a general rule. That doesn't mean though there aren't a few hobbiest out there that drive people nuts with their skillful displays...

I like most of his work, although I've been upset at a few overly simple illusions that I feel I paid too much for when a simple PDF would have done fine, while other effects like Gutbuster I simply adore. Mayne's got some good stuff, I'm keeping a close eye on him.

It's been said so let me just start by saying it again. Audience Management. It's vital, and it's what you are missing. When you have a heckler you need to very quickly decide where on the heckler scale they are, and weather or not alcohol has anything to do with it. My heckler looks like...

Ahh. Okay then.

You bet? So you don't know. You've never met him, you've never worked with him, and you have no grounds to justify or found your statement on other than blind faith. Sir, religions have a better leg than that to stand on. Your opinion is jaded because of your fandom.

What are the dates and times, I'll see if I can make it for a day.

Actually Steer, a "card mechanic" was a term used by the mafia that ran Las Vegas to describe a casino employee who was skilled at card cheats and slights that was used to ensure the houses favor on tables where certain players were having a bit too strong of a luck streak. At current day the...

I personally hate to post threads like this which accomplish nothing more than shameless self promotion, but since I can identify that it is indeed that I pray the community here will be forgiving on the matter. I filmed today with Street of cards.tv and will be featured on their website in an...
