This relates to magic how?

Yeah, that's always rough when you get a smart ellic spectator on stage that wants to disrupt the show by "revealing" how they think your effect is done to the audience. My advice for the future is to do an abort. An abort is where you know the trick is going south and will end badly if you...

Go to the street magic in the media section and look around for a hand in animal trap video I posted. Can't miss it

Is this a retorical question? Because I'm fairly sure I just sugested that. I'm not sure what kind of relationship you have with your folks but frankly I think my own mom would probably laugh if I were to say the samething to her. I guess it just depends on your relationship, obviously if...

Yeah. Back when I was still learning it I took one wrong across my knuckles and couldn't do much with that hand for a few days.

I'm on my itouch and don't have easy acess to a spell check. It sometimes makes up words it thinks i want to say. Thanks for the corretion.

Yes. It's called screwing up an animal trap effect. (see video posted here) you just learn to move on, or do other effects.

I'm telling you man call her out on her use of an altamadom

Frankly I've never been a fan of ultramadoms. Mother or not she has no right putting you into such a situation. I'd call her out on this. I'd tell her you don't approve of her use of an altermadom and would prefer it if she refrained from their use. If she wants to know that badly then...

Probably. It's been a long day. I doubt that half of that was necessary.

Edited on grounds that I was being a Jerk for less than a merritable reason.

I'm inclined to almost agree with you! The field of card magic may not be so narrow that it only has 2 plots... but a lot of your suggestions fall inside of my origional comment. Examples: 1) Matching Rutines: They are still pick a card. Just so happens that the cards picked match the...

Jason, Your post provokes serious and intelligent thought on this forum. Thank you for the information. Many of us have tried to tackle the subject of Youtube and magic and the threads have usually tended to be fairly one sided. You make some excellent points in both essays...

What you are lacking is a skill in audience control. I wouldn't let a spectator walk over me like that in my act. Just like a double lift, it's a skill that you'll aquire with experience. It's not that any one audience is particularly harder than another to perform for, it's just a...

Ummm.... dude, Criss Angel isn't the one doing Bull****. That is Penn & Teller. Criss Angel has the TV show Mind Freak. Also man, no offesne but trying to read your posts is like trying cure a headache by slaming your head into a brick wall over and over.

I'm not so sure about that. That didn't stop Woody Allen in 1967's Bond flick "Casino Royal."

Well then I'll have my egg over easy and served on the right cheek please. Could I get a side of bacon as well? kaythanxbai

I can't say that I agree with you. I've lived in California too long, and met too many actors at the local Denny's or other like food joint to believe that. Danial Craig for example may indeed play James Bond, but so did Sean Conery, Sir. Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnen. All the afronamed...

I have to seriously wonder just how many actors you've worked with, or for that matter even known. Every actor must bring their character out from somewhere. They usually have to attach a personal experience to the scene they are attempting to portray to get the emotional level right, and...

Character, character, character. You'll see that word pop up several times in any essay or comment I make on the forums when dealing with the performance side of magic. Your outfit should properly reflect the kind of character you perform as. If you don't have a well defined character such...
