    Practical advice on job hunting

    It may depend on what type of job you are trying to get. But I would say mostly focus on your people skills. If sales, then you focus on your marketing experience and demonstrating of the products, and the necessary people skills. If service industry (retail), then you focus on the public...

    Interesting Gig Coming Up

    My question just from what you said: if you were to do it again, and would you go from back to front again or front to back and why? I can see benefit to each way. Did you have any motion sickness? Did the moment throw you off at all? (like cards spilling or crazy man's handcuffs being more...

    Magic Contests

    Very true. This last contest there was more than I expected in the package. Very generous indeed.

    The Archive News?

    I agree. It's some pretty 'unique' stuff. Looking forward to seeing more.

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    I agree. I liked when he said "it is the showmanship that will sell a trick as an impossible feat". Showmanship can make or break a trick. I used to do this deck memorization bit, and I always did it as a joke. Half the room would figure out what I was doing and start laughing, and the other...

    Ah that makes more sense. Sorry I misunderstood your concept before. Yes I very much agree.

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    I have to respectfully disagree. I agree about your idea of putting high value and focus on entertainment value. However, I think our craft demands enough focus on method and choice of material to be baffeling to spectators. Sure, I get caught sometimes, but that means I either ditch the trick...

    Saturday Night Contest - Happy Birthday!

    Thanks guys, I'm excited! I was going to pick these up after today because I had a gig, but it was cancelled this morning due to weather. It's a real blessing.

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    I don't know if that's a correct generalization (perhaps it is), however, lets say it is. Think out the logical conclusion to what you are implying. 'If people always suspect video editing, a magician should not use it.' (Is that a fair way of putting it? This is what I'm getting from what...

    Saturday Night Contest - Happy Birthday!

    One more shadow idea for something a little different. Probably my favorite. http://postimage.org/image/59bfcxhep/ Result: http://postimage.org/image/sjxtft02b/ ... and it's the eleventh card not by accident....

    Saturday Night Contest - Happy Birthday!

    Trying to be out of the box with this one. Concept was inspired by some really cool artwork on Google+ today http://postimage.org/image/94sgmg3cl/ http://postimage.org/image/g458gff6b/ Technically the sticker is on the wall... ;)

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    Yes but if they don't suspect it's being used... If it's obvious that is one thing. You are missing the IF again.

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    Really? I see a big difference. When I was a kid and saw Jeff McBride producing cards, I thought he had some sort of contraption up the back of his arm that fed him cards. Then he would show the other side of his arm and I was floored. I had no other options - I was mesmerized . Had I known...

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    But this is the reason I'm not a huge fan of stage magic in general. Before I did magic, I always knew the tricks had something to do with the big fancy boxes. The one effect that used to make me so amazed was the lady on the spike. I had no idea. No box, no cover, and the spike goes right...
