Gentlemen please. Both of you, please for the sake of intelligent conversation on this thread take any further "discussions" into a more private forum.

(Continued From Above) I would turn, call for a police officer, and run away as fast as I can. I left the entire paragraph alone, but chose to bold and highlight the important part of your quote that will be the point of my next line of thought. You have stumbled upon my entire defense of...

Alright, Now that I'm back from Las Vegas and infront of a computer as opposed to my cell phone I think I can devote a little more intelligent thought to a reply instead of quipping out a sarcastic two liner aimed at being ironicly funny as opposed to being constructivly useful. I'll take...

I'm in the chat now!

Hold thy tongue and speak no more of this blashamy. I can see that you have the early stages of card elitism. With the prognoses being that grim I recomend you watch two Lance Burton shows and call me in the morning. with that being said more to follow tomorrow when im back from vegas

Never ask a mark any question that they can answer no to, otherwise you leave yourself no room to move in. If you MUST ask a question make sure its open ended. Open ended questions start with who,what,how,where, and why. They are also questions that cant be answered with just no. The mark is...

Simple. You don't. Why teach laymen something they'll never use again? If you must do the 3 piles of 7 trick, but nothing more. I usually just tell people "no." and that's the end of that.

Wow... I didn't think it was possible for him to go any lower. I was wrong. I don't think that did the memory of Doug any justice.

Yes, I've seen it done. As a personal note of work ethic I wouldn't do it if I can avoid it. You should have your act polished enough to where you know your lines. However, I know a few people that have used stage cues to help them through a new act. Just try to not let the audience know...

Actually Magicians are the third. Assassination is number 2. I most certainly do pay for my television. In fact I'll be getting a little slip of paper in the mail in about another two weeks to prove it! It's called a bill. The difference between paying to see a magic show and paying for TV...

One answer: Money is a byproduct of good entertainment.

I'll play the devils advocate here and say this: I don't recommend any deck to be used other than standard Red or Blue bikes, with the only exception being a masters deck. I find that anything else just looks too damn suspicious to a layman. A simple (all be it wrong) answer of...

Frustrating. I've got a great mate who is willing to turn the document into a PDF and share with me a few contacts for publishers, but other than that I've not really had the ability to move forward much in due to time constraints. (Work, and Gigs) The good news is: I will get that thing...

(Continued From Above) We are very fortunate in this day and age to have access to the internet. Online websites with forums geared toward magicians are quickly replacing clubs as the popular medium for getting constructive criticism and sadly spreading gossip about magic. However I think...

(Continued From Above) Improving One Self and Act Dare I say this and not be crucified for it by the magic community at large? I think I have found a productive use for all magic related videos found on Youtube; Self...

(Continued From Above) Body language signals may have a goal other than communication. Observers limit the weight they place on non-verbal cues. Signalers clarify their signals to indicate the biological origin of their actions. One of the most basic and powerful body-language signals is when...

The one thing I get complemented on more than anything else it seems is my confidence on stage and my ability to control my audience. Well I can say one thing, this isn’t just a gift I unwrapped one Christmas morning and then was able to use it ever since. It’s a talent that any performer can...

Okay put a full stop on everything you are doing and seriously think about this for two seconds. IT IS NOT WORTH THE COST OF GETTING POTENTIALLY SUSPENDED FOR THE SAKE OF SHOWING OFF! You're a magician. You have a lot of other magic options open to you, and it's not like you can't...

Okay villagers, lets put the pitch forks and torches away now. I don't think we need to burn anyone at the stake tonight. I think we are all missing a really huge, big, and glaringly obvious point here. One of our own made it onto television and shared his talent and our world with the rest...

I'm going to have to call you out on this one Mr. Kras. Your statement is ambiguous enough that it could apply to just about anyone on this forum, and that unfortunately includes me. I'm afraid I'll request that you clarify your targets, other wise I will need to object in my own defense.
