Hello, T11. It's been a longtime since I even posted on the forum ( I'm away from internet for some time, so going online is impossible ) Anyway, recently I dug up my old DVDs of magic and re-watch and re-learn some of them. Then I opened Wayne Houchin's Art of Magic. In this DVD, he...

@Ashrei I have spoken with the client. He is expecting of audience involvement and his daughter as the main star of the event. It would be an invite-only party, so he's assuming around 50-100 guests. The theme of the birthday is, well, basically the daughter herself. There are no particular...

okay, let me put it this way. I DO have an experience in large stage magic. I DO have an act ready to go. I DO study theatrical performance and acting. I DO have a plot and script that is ready to be deployed. I DO have a lot of time, the birthday will be on 27 of December. I DO prepared...

@Steerpike Well, let's just say, I'm doing a "favor" for my father right now. Let's just say he is not in a good "relationship" with his boss that if I manage to do good this "problem" would be solved. I have tricks and games ready to be deployed, yet I don't know what theme would be best...

Dear T11 forum members, I've been chosen to perform on a Sweet Seventeen Birthday Party ( I don't even know that such thing still exist ) of a girl, a daughter of my father's boss. I like to keep the theme and plot of my performance close to the event itself, but since this is a birthday...

Basically, should we impose our image and "aura" as a mystery worker? Wouldn't be this categorized and boast? It would be good if the person we are interacting to is interested, but it would be a double-edged sword if the person we are talking to didn't care at all. How would you suggest in...

@Steerpike What is your advice on marketing ourselves? I mean, lots of us would just busk around town while handing over business cards. Some will go directly into a corporation or event organizer and offer their talent. What do you think would be best and effective on this particular...

I personally uses less unnecessary moves in my magic, just because it fits my style. I would rather take the Classic and Hermann Pass and master it rather than going on 20 passes with the same goal : to pass the card. In my opinion though, it is up to the magician, his presentation, style and...

Thank you, Christopher, Zach, and Konrad for the advices! It is much appreciated. A question to Zach : Is there any reference or books that could improve my own interaction toward people? it could be much more efficient to me rather than taking classes.

Dear brother and sister from the Magic Industry, This morning, I re-openned my Expert at the Card Table since I wanted to brush up my card cheat moves, and shortly got stuck on the bottom dealing. Realizing that I didn't execute bottom dealing properly, I try to learn it all over again. And...

Dear brothers and sister of the Magic Industry. I've encountered a problem lately, a very crucial and urgent problem. I admit that I was off performing lately, either professionally or not. It's been 2-3 months since I last performed for a live audience. Yesterday, I tried to perform...

Well , the only stuffs that came up to my mind are : Cards, Coins, Rings, Rubber bands I do several cuts and simple sybils when I'm bored, or do continuation of coin rolls and several simple vanishes and produces. These just not develop sleights, it sometimes attract attention. Ring Roll and...

Ah yes, sorry I mumbled off and became out of topic. But okay... How about rubber bands? it provide good exercises, right?

A little bit of agreement with Christopher and Craig, but a little bit objection too. It is true, however that most magicians are now getting too attached to cards ( as if there's no magic outside cards ) and that mentalism is not a good for for new-starters ( since mentalism needs a lot of...

The effect was INCREDIBLE It would be a good routine and good card magic. But yes, as you would have expected, scripting is a little bit needed. ( I cannot follow what is going to happen, etc ). But overall, it's killer effect and got me in the end. Nice work, Tyler.

Tyler Rouss, I guess it's not Steerpike. Pike is known well of the magic community, especially on E. I guess that 97rmdude is the problem. 97rmdude, whatever your name is, first if you want to have a good performance : Learn proper english. Secondly, be able to accept harsh critiques and...

Agree with everyone. My story with music and magic is pretty much the same as CalvinTan's Oh and anyway, Daniel Garcia therapy for his pre-accident long time ago is playing guitar. He regain those crazy smooth sleights after practicing guitars.

Wayne Houchin's Art of Magic has a "Ring and String" trick. It is not purely ring sleights but it is a good ring magic, especially with the fact that we can borrow anyone's ring for the trick.

I would agree to this. If I were the director, I would've done the same. The movie was to sell, to be watched by everyone, and of course, to become a box office. It is not only to promote magicians.

Maybe because the Eye afraid of a visit from you, and the rest of T11 crews, Zach. Hahahaha. Well, anyway, I've did searched for the Eye and found nothing. Although it would be interesting if someone's starting an organization of magicians dedicated to helping people you know. ( subliminal...
