    Practice on Family?

    Hey guys, I've got a new effect I want to show you..." *stampeding cloud of dust, flying chairs, and tipped over furniture. Leaving the living room having looked like Jones Town: The morning after* " .25 seconds. That's a new record!" Yeah. It's like that.

    LMAO Damnit man, next time make sure the [/sarcasm] tags show! LOL. Well done. Well, the picture you see as my avatar is actually me. As you can imagine, I do shock goth/ freak with a twist of the strange and unusual. The character style is Neo-Edwardian / Gothic-Victorian.

    Way for a new Magician to Make Money?

    I know how tempting it is to levitate for people. It's one of those effects that people remember. However it's for the marks. Don't be a mark. There is SO much more effective reputation making effects you can perform at your age and financial situation than doing a levitation. I can almost...

    Restaurant Magic -- HELP

    If you can get paid for it (and you should) then I'd do it 5 nights a week. Note: Keep the dates and times consistent per restaurant! People -will- come to a restaurant just to see you perform. IE: Every Tuesdays at Mel's from 8 to 10pm.

    Short Article on Wedding/ Cocktail Performances

    (Continued from Part 1) Don't worry about food. You'll usually eat like a king at these events. Work out parking details in advance. Know where event staff are to park, and get any parking vouchers early enough if needed as to not interfere with your punctuality to the event. Bring a...

    Short Article on Wedding/ Cocktail Performances

    I got a Personal Message today from someone here on this board about the subject of performing for a wedding or cocktail event. While this thread is basicly my message rehashed to this person, I think others here could help contribute to it. There for I submit it to your kindly review. So...

    Your advice is duly noted and thank you sir, however they are appropriate to the style of the character that I play while performing. I think I've grown attached to them. Kindly, Will

    Stop the hating

    Six pages of flaming... Really? Funny thing, I can make cards, birds, bunnies, and even annoying wife's best friends all disappear but I'll be damned if I seem to be able to do anything about this thread.

    Stop the hating

    So you can re-arrange the physical compounds of rhybo neclaic acid(SP?) structures... That doesn't necessary mean you can win the spelling bee. Lets be fair.

    Stop the hating

    Alright, first thing is first. If you are going to come to someone's defense and post up a message about why people should leave them alone then you must first, yourself provide enough reason to why you think anyone should listen to you. Your net speak, and horrible grammar is not going to aid...

    Advice For People Wanting to Busk (Street Performances.)

    Also, make sure you have one large bill that is easily viewable and a bunch of smaller ones. No one likes to be the first to tip, and dear god no one likes to feel out done either. So they are likely to tip higher.

    Advice For People Wanting to Busk (Street Performances.)

    I've known a few cops that play the "innocence isn't an excuse" game and will cause you a headache. While I've never been out right fined for busking I have been shut down, and forced to re-locate. Let me tell you, that is a pain in the rear, especiall when the crowed is paying good. So...

    To Patter or Not To Patter...

    I'd rather not thank you... If I ever found myself in a conversation about anything with Charlie Chaplin I'd probably run away in terror, seeing how he's dead and all. Honestly, It depends on the act. I've seen the linking rings done silent to music and again to verbal patter. Both...

    Magic and Comedy at Anime Expo 2009

    I wanted to take a minute to reflect on the amazingly awesome experience that was Anime Expo 2009! Wow! Can it really be that AX has already come and gone? It seems like I just got to the convention center just a day or so ago. Man, time does fly when you're having the time of your life...

    Greetings from Miss Yvonne - Retired Magician

    I've got to be hontest, with a thread title like that, opening sentence like greetings my name is Miss what ever, and a user profile with only 1 post to it I was sooo braced to spam flag it for one of those Nigerian scam letters. I'm glad I actually read the entire post. Welcome to our forum...

    R.I.P - Billy Mays

    Like us magicians, or any professional for that matter, Billy was at the top of his game. It just so happens that his game was marketing and sales. That isn't an easy field to get into let alone be revered as as much of an expert as he was. I wouldn't be so quick to desensitize the loss of...

    On The Loss of Michael Jackson :: 06.25.09

    Michael may have patented it then, but I could have sworn Doug Malloy was the one who actually invented the trick. It's called "The Lean" and references can be found on his website here. Am I just wrong on this?
