Hey guys, I know I haven't posted in quite some time, however, I have been very busy working on my first video. So, as I understood it quite a few of you were to say the least " interested" in what I had "up my sleeves" no pun intended, Im planning on releasing this piece in early October, or mabey late September.
Comments?
Suggestions?
Requests?
Tips( this is my first magic video)?
Thanks in advance

I'm not really sure what you're looking for here, it's kinda difficult to make any kind of comment without some background knowledge, what kinda magic do you perform, what do you want to get out of the video, what are you considering showcasing?

Maybe I just missed the boat on your other posts or whatever, but if I have, so will others, so it'd be cool if you could elaborate slightly on what you're doing and what kind of advice/tips you're looking for that'd be cool and I'm sure everyone would be more than happy to help :)

Cheers,

D.
 
Thanks for the help( I was about to start wondering about some of you)I'll quote my fist post later I have to go to school now...
 
I don't, eeehh, know what... what do you want?

Haha, just kidding man, Add a little more detail to your request, I'd love to offer some help!

What kinda material do you have?

Firstly I'd like to hear some things you guys would like to see, I.E.- specific sleights, flourishes tricks etc.
Secondly the set list of my video is as follows:
Jone Change
Clipshift
Twinsplit
Werm
Hotshot
Shuffled Aces
queens
Swiss made
Madonna
Leno Display
Center Double display
Tivo 2.0
Erdnase go Round
Subway
Molecule 4
under pressure
fo sho some card spinning
other neat color changes


It's basically to showcase myself to all of you and introduce myself.
Of course everything will have my own spin on it.
 
Here are most of my previous posts:
Since this is my first post on Theory 11 I'll introduce myself. My name is James and Ive been doing magic for around 11 years now. I've got a pretty tricky question though: I've got a pretty large repitoir( sp?) but I beleive I may be one of the type of people that wants to know every method to acheive a certain goal. I've really been hitting this new genre of magic hard for around 2 years, but in no way am I claiming to be a novice. Anyway back to this dilema I'm looking for the most informative media( DVD, Book, PDF, what have you) to learn some more sleights from, I would personally rank myself as an upper-level intermediate, to advanced card worker. I'm looking for the best media to learn the most from, so any suggestions would be appreciated, and YES I'm done with the Trilogy=]



Thanks in advance
James


well...i'm still not happy with my " Juan Tamirez perpindicular side jog control" mabey it's just the name. I wouldn't go as far to say they're all perfect but I'm reasonabally pleased with them. Some are still in the works but I'm just becoming complacent with it. I ordered Surfaced and I'm sure that will keep me busy for quite some time but I still feel some how inadiquate bc I still have so much to learn


I can already see that I mispoke when I said done with the trilogy, I simply stated that so some might have an Idea as to what level card working to suggest. As for " Expert at the card table" I.....how to put this ... Im having alot of trouble with learning these more advanced moves from a book, I really see myself as a visual learner, so to say.




There ya go. Also just wanted to add that the feel of the movie is that of a trailer for lets say the trilogy or Smoothe opperations.
thanks in advance
James
 
Oh, you mean you're making a video of some of your performances? I thought you meant a product to sell. As far as what we want to see... If the point is to showcase yourself, you should do your favourite stuff according to you alone, that's the best way to show us who you are and so on. :)
 
I'd like to see some live performances.

To be honest I don't really want to watch a video of sleights and tricks being done for camera, it's been done before thousands of times and just isn't that entertaining to watch (at least not for me). People will most likely watch it once and forget about it.

I think it's fairly pointless to make a video showing the effects you've listed in the post above, it's nearly all Dan and Dave material and we've seen it all before on The Trillogy where it is performed better than you will probably perform it (I don't mean that to sound offensive, it's just highly unlikely you perform all Dan and Dave's material as well as they do).

It sounds like you have a large repetoire and are can do some fairly advanced sleight of hand, it would be nice to see some of it done for real people.
