The thing is, different props means you are a versatile artist. That being said, if you are a good entertainer, use anything you're comfortable with to build a set ! The main thing is : You are an entertainer, you should entertain people. That's basically it. I don't think Daniel Madison ever...

I agree, your pen palming is a bit too tense, we can "feel" the palm. If we, as magician, see something weird, your audience will too. The routining is not too bad, but there's definitely room for improvement. Some insights : - Work on your pen palm, make it look more natural. - Add some...

I have been hugely disappointed when I saw Benji sell his ebook on his newsletter. His advice were quite interesting, but really vague. I was feeling he was doing something like this but, well, I had hoped he would just continue to give free tips for the community. The thing is, I would maybe...

I just did a steganography search on the puppy dog... nothing to be found :/ Damnit :o

The witch of Glastonsbury would be a good trick for Halloween, I guess. But I guess it would depend on the ambient noise, as you have to narrate a bit.

Excellent post, Draven. I might ask, though : When are you ready to step into the "real world" ? That is, going out of your comfort/friends & family zone and perform for unknown people, trying to get gigs... I understand you can't wait for everything to be perfect, because it will never be, but...

It actually helps ! It gave me some ideas for some rubber band tricks :) Thanks ! I think the main difficulty remains on the shortness of the effects. Without a good patter, all I get is silent stares as they try to understand how the hell I did that. So I find it really harder to build a great...

Two things to keep in mind I think : Be approchable and polite. I mean, we are more enclined to see someone's magic if he's being approchable and nice. That means that your look must fit the image you want to convey as a performer. And be polite. Everyone likes people smiling. Whenever I'm...

Hi everyone, I've been doing rubber band magic for quite some time now and I have a small problem. I have absolutely no problem developing patter for card/coin/general magic effects, but I *really* don't know what to say when performing a rubber band routine. I'm currently working on my...

I'm 28, and I've been into magic for two and half years (huge breaks, I began 10 years ago). The thing that got me into magic was a friend who performed for me a basic trick with an Emsley count (Do as I do...). He was shaking like crazy, but I had no clue of how he did that thing. At first I...

Well, I understand what you mean. But personally, I feel some tension when you do the move, I can feel you get prepared for the move, then relax when it's done. If you want it to be perfect, your right hand should barely move, or not at all. Here we can feel the move, even when your angles are...

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to these forums, but I've been lurking them for quite some time now. So hi everyone (again) ! I would like to talk about a great classic that I often perform, and I know most of you do too : The Biddle trick One thing has always bothered me in this trick...

Actually, your technique is not bad, but without a context, it's very difficult to judge the quality of the move. Just be natural, and don't do it too fast. You want the pass to be one fluid motion. About the pass that should be done as soon as the hand meet, I don't really agree completely...
