    Coin Bend?

    I pre bend. I fold a playing card into quarters and slip a quarter in the middle. Then I use two pairs of normal pliers to make the bend. I used to use two cards for extra padding, but you get the right feel after a bit. The card does a nice job of protecting the coins. I still have spectators...

    Marketing tips and how to book gigs

    I did a website and got a ton of gigs just from good SEO on it. From these gigs i get referrals and repeat business to the point where i no longer advertise.

    How can I carry street-magic props without a jacket?

    Pun intended? "suit you" ? Love it. Perhaps that was a stretch, but I laughed.

    How Many Magicians Does it take to screw in a light bulb.

    Zero because magicians buy the floating light bulb instead!

    Goshman Pinched hard!

    Don't worry about asking! It should be held more firmly than that. Gravity should not affect the position of the coin in that way. You may have wider 'windows' - gaps between your fingers- that may be causing some troubles.

    Goshman Pinched hard!

    Well it should be firm enough that if you shook your hand it shouldn't fall out. Similar tension to palming a coin perhaps. The important thing is that it looks as natural as possible from the front. Keep practicing and you will get it!

    Goshman Pinched hard!

    Sounds like you are opening your hand and keeping all your fingers level. Your pinky needs to be further back while its holding it. It's a balance of not being too far back that it looks fishy. This also helps with people seeing the edge flashing because the visible angle changes.

    Mount Rushmore of magic

    Oh man, I suppose it would be people who have created major changes in magic as perceived by the world. So I would start with: Houdin Houdini Vernon Copperfield Blaine Then I think I would remove Houdini , or get a bigger mountain and do 5 faces.

    Business Cards?

    I just did up a simple one this time around. I designed it in a way that works with a peek that I sometimes do as well as one other effect that requires that I write on the card. Chris mentioned something important with cards - ask for other people's cards. I would just add the reason that it...

    Android or iPhone

    A good discussion for another place. Most new phones will be just fine to watch magic videos on the major sites. Going to lock this because it's not about magic but best of luck choosing your new toy! Feel free to continue the conversation in a private message

    Publicly Pricing

    It's not so much about number of years before you get to a certain level, but rather it matters more -how many shows have you done, and are you growing as a performer. For instance, I have been doing paid shows since 2001, but part time, and in recent years, I have bulled back because of my...

    Thoughts on David Blaine's Fallon appearance

    Well, I found it hard to watch - like a train wreck: I couldn't look away. And as far as entertainment goes - like it or hate it - you can't say he didn't invoke an emotional response!
