hey Zac, before i give my critique let me first say that you are a total badass in magic. I find myself marveling how you work. And i aim for reactions and stuff like yours. I think i'm getting there do, just working on a formal routine man.Okay thanks guys! I agree with Rev. After sleeping on it and taking a 2nd look, I know exactly what you mean. Again, much appreciation guys!

I once had a wix site, i soon took it down. but instead of putting down your site. If you want something to work aroudn until you have the money to do whats needed. do what i'm doing. I got this guy by the anme of Efa Dunstan(u know the name) working on my site. it's kinda like your own domain name. it can be something like this:"www.z-magic.co.cc" go through webs and work it...or you can hit up Efa and get him to do your site as well.....
for what you got on your site, its better than my wix anyday.....
but seriously tho, its not the site that makes the magician. Its the magician that makes the site.
"Zac Eckstein (Z-Magic) has been performing for years. He has done childrens birthday parties, Stand-up shows, stage shows as well as his specialty, close-up magic which is modernly called "Street Magic". His hobbies include listening to music as well as writing and creating his own. He loves watching football, GOOOOO COWBOYS! He also loves videography. Zac Eckstein was born and raised in McAllen Texas down in the Rio Grande Valley. In his opinion, Wing Stop is the greatest restaurant ever made. He loves to hang out with his friends along with family at holiday get togethers. He did his first professional show 3 yrs ago and hasn't looked back since. Check oyt the "Events & Tour Dates" tab to see if he is coming to your town! Well, that is pretty much Z-Magic in a nutshell. Have a great day"
1: "children's birthday parties" : apostrophe
2: "stand-up shows," "S" -> "s" : don't need to capitalize
3: "close-up magic" and "street magic" are two completely different things.
4: "3 years" "yrs" -> "years": spell out the word
5: "hasn't looked back since." heh??? why? You should always remember your first show and learn from it. Should probably do more research and use English expressions with meanings that you actually understand.
6. "check out" "oyt" -> "out": spelling
Lastly, sometimes you say "he" and other times you say "Zac Eckstein," and sometimes you say "Z-Magic." Consistency would be nice, and the easiest way to do this is to not talk in the third person. Just say "I".
Not sure if you are wanting this to be your "magic website" or just your "personal website." If you want this to be your "magic website" then as a prospective client, I really don't care that you like to watch football or like Wing Stop.
Wix is an interesting concept, and for my site it seems to be fairly seo friendly (even though it is under construction still).
I agree with rev's feedback. Some things that I would think about if you are going to go with wix:
-what do you want to accomplish with your website?
-Does this design help accomplish the image you want?
-Your main picture is fuzzy/dark and I cannot recognize you
-Your contact page says "SUBECT LINE MUST SAY "SHOW BOOKING" OR I WILL NOT REPLY >>Get rid of that! You want it to be easy for clients to contact you.
-There are a few pages that you are not using, so get rid of them (tour dates/contact etc) Add them once they are ready.
-I have found that wix's customer service is not stellar. Just be prepared. Someone also suggested Yola.com was a good place to do an affordable site
Change the picture...
I am not going to change my things to what you said because I feel they need no changing. My Bio adds a casual feel, which makes it more comfortable for the reader. I am an American born and raised Texan and understand very well what English expression I had used. "hasn't looked back since" can mean you have had so much fun, and that you are now sure in your ways to be a magician.

In other words, "I don't care that my grammar is incorrect, I am not going to make the changes you suggested."
For your forum posts (like the one I am replying to), it is ok to have grammar mistakes, but if you are trying to create a website that promotes your magic professionally, ignoring critiques when YOU asked for them is simply stupid and stubborn.
