Funny.... somehow I missed this a few months ago. Was re-reading it because this thread did expose a lot of holes in the character I play that I haven't thought about. But when I go to this I loved it. First of all, thanks. Second of all isn't it funny to say "make an honest living doing magic"...

Hey man.... yeah I love watching older videos of myself. Helps me realize how far I've come. Here's an old video of me shot in 2004 in Japan. If you just search my stage name, "Smoothini", you can find more modern video's of me. And the newer version to this. Hope you enjoy...

For me it was having to support my ex-fiance when she got pregnant and also got kicked out of her house. I was living out of a hotel at the time inbetween moving from San Diego back to NYC when I got the news of my son's arrival. You would be surprised how resourceful you can get when you...

Oh God! Alright, first off don't let the hater get to you. Then he gets the power. You need to be so mentally and emotionally more mature than this prick and keep doing your thing. Second, get your magical LEARN on! I'll translate this in case it doesn't register in my Smoothini-speak...

Sounds like me before I got to Vegas. And to be frankly, I'm probably the closest example of what it is to be an "underground" magician. ============================================================================== To answer your original question, how do you put an underground spin to...

Holy God.... stop the whining and complaining. I'm happy as all hell that those guys are doing exactly what they are doing. Why? Because frankly I'm good. I have nothing to worry about when it comes to me and competing with camara tricks. I'm right there. I haven't gotten more or less gigs...

No I have never seen that and that was just amazing. Good, good, good stuff.

I have to say that since I'm 35% comedian and about 10% magician ( 55% hustler ), I watched this like a layman. I've been doing Paper Balls over the head on a stage for a good 14 years or so. This is what I thought it was going to be. What a pleasant surprise and thank you. I had to watch it...

LOL.... I should text that to him. LMAO... hahahahaha. OK, let me chime in. If there was no Criss Angel, plain and simple... someone else would've taken the spot. Every generation has had their main magician. Society, in North America mostly, seems to only handle about two celebrity...

LOL.... I like this guy! Only through intelligent debate can one truly find out who they are. Us human's are very lazy creatures and it does take your type to poke at what we hold most dear to ourselves. That is a beautiful description of the Heavy Metal culture. I think a lot of it might...

Oh I know no one is bashing me. I do get a bit ...... .what's that word.... hyper when it comes to that comment though. I've been told this my whole life by great magicians. That is kind of a mind-f*ck when you are looking for advice, and the advice is, "don't be you, be like us." So yeah I...

Now this leads to a great discussion and am very interested to see what the younger members on this board would say. Would love to see how they tackle this, then I'll chime in. As for the whole "limiting my audience" thing. Really.. whatever. Dozens of other entertainers "limit" their...

Oh wow that's kind of cool! In Vegas one time after a show some random girl recognized me at a bar. I wasn't even doing tricks, that's the funny thing. I think I need to update my wardrobe. If anyone's interested I'm going to be interviewed my Jeff McBride tonight on his online magic TV show...

yeah, just search close-up magic. "Street" magic is just close-up magic done in the street, so it wouldn't matter where it is as long as it can be done face to face. I only have one true "street magic video" on the net... and this was years ago. You might like the "street mentalism" at the end...

lol.... if you only knew the story behind that line. LOL. Thanks. I get an average of 3 messages a month about how offensive that is. I swear some people are very sensitive. Glad you found it funny. Many don't.

LOL..... good freaking point. You are one cool dude Formula. But my original question wasn't to judge my video on the merits of me mixing hip-hop culture and magic. It was if anyone knew of a professional magician that properly mixes hip-hop and magic. My response was mostly out of angst I...

To Formula - Hip-Hop is a culture. Rap is the music inspired by the culture, not the other way around. Hip-Hop's art forms like grafetti, spoken word, break dancing, etc.... is all part of the culture. Another major part that doesn't seem to be noticed much is the hip-hop comedic /...

Question T11... who on a professional level properly has mixed Hip-Hop, comedy & magic? As a youngster I fell in love with how Doug Henning properly mixed the disco pop culture with magic. In our era Criss Angel has properly mixed the rock culture and Dan Sperry has done wonders with the...

I'll shoot you a few tickets to my show in Houston. Message me.

damn then.... add me on facebook. I can send you some raw footage, and if you don't mind, edit it together for me. LOL. facebook.com/smoothini
