What do you fear about the most in an upcoming performance and how do you get over it?

Whoops... I didn't know it was over. Haha.

Hi guys, I'm writing a paper for my English class about how magic is a dying art. Naturally, I am required to support my thesis with sources such as internet articles. Can anyone point me to the right direction? Thanks.

1) How did you become a consultant for Criss Angel? 2) What is magic to you? 3) Do you like the color purple?

Wow. Reading your post opened my eyes to a new perception of exposure. We tend to complain about how exposure ruins the art but we sometimes don't notice the underlying feeling of no longer being special. As a magician, most of us are used to being on the spotlight that it is severely...

I think he's asking whether or not changing one's language in a performance is considered not being yourself. To answer that, it depends on the reason why you talk differently. If you use a language you don't casually use in order to create some sort of stage persona then you wouldn't be...

I agree. That is a very misleading line.

You know, you already gave away gaffs when you performed during the debut practices. You shouldn't have performed with gaffs again knowing that they'll ask for the cards. Oh well...I guess girls can affect your decision making.:p

I personally think that the Advocate is too dirty and unorthodox. I haven't and won't ever use it.

My theory on why people hide their faces is because they are shy or lack the confidence to show their face. Like you said, magicians need to get over that and start gaining confidence to perform out there where people can see them.

I usually hand them the pack and casually say: "Go ahead and just take one." You can shuffle it if you want." It emphasizes the selection being completely fair.

Until I tried the magicisdead link in his artist profile, I couldn't access Daniel Madison's website in my ipod, macbook, and PC (but i could in my cellphone and the school computer). Now, the magicisdead link was updated and I can't access it anymore. Is Daniel Madison's site secured so that...

Are you hosting the roundtable discussion because you want us to figure out that you are anonymous based on the answers? As the years progress, does your view on magic change? What is the most emotional experience you have had involving magic?

I am a card magician at heart and i sometimes get inquiries as to whether or not I could perform effects that don't involve cards. What clever answers can I give so as not to disappoint or lower the expectations of the audience? I usually say "no" or "I'm still practicing".

Have you created original material that magicians have given HIGHLY positive feedback on? Are you single? Have you already been introduced as a Theory 11 artist?

You're already willing to spend 300 bucks. Another 25 isn't much of a difference.:p

Is it mandatory to reproduce the coin in the routine or can I end the trick after vanishing?

Just don't do what my friend does and wear PINK nail polish. THAT is just weird.

I myself own it but have yet to perform it. This only due to the fact that I don't really see myself pulling this off with my lack of skill in showmanship and misdirection. However, coming from someone who owns it yet does not use it, I can say that it was still worth the purchase as it has a...

If you don't have much experience, you won't be able to maximize the content. Sure you'll be able to do some of the easy stuff but the best parts are very advance and hard to pick-up if you don't have much practice.
