Saturday Night Contest - Daniel Garcia Roundtable

Hello Danny (or person who is going to read these to Danny),

1. What is the oldest effect that you learned/created that you still perform today? (Kind of two questions in one; which is the oldest that you created, and which is the oldest that you didn't create.)
2. If I remember correctly I remember hearing about how you get ideas for tricks from everywhere and sometimes the most random things. What is the most random thing that has given you inspiration for a trick and/or what was the craziest idea for a trick you had?
3. What is that one trick, to date, that you saw a performed (live or not) that just completely fooled you? Like not just the method but like the effect just shocked you so much that what you just saw was real and just happened. (Like a brick hitting you in the face :p)

Hey, what's good Danny!

1. How do you deal with hecklers? people who want to touch the cards and stuff?
2. How often do you perform for friends? cause if you do this for a living, like you do.. you're pretty much doing all this for free? when do you draw the line? 1 or 2 effects? or no line at all? (assuming of course you get paid gigs here and there lol)
3. For an aspiring creator of the art, what's your advice in going about marketing their ideas?

thanks doggy! pc;.

1.What effect, that you have created, were you most conflicted about releasing to the magic community and why did you eventually decide to release it?

2. What is the most meaningful magic moment you have created for someone through a performance?

3. Why magic? Out of all the crafts and art-forms you could have pursued the way you have magic--why magic?

Thanks! :)

For the purposes of science, please recite my question in the form of a rap.

Yo what's up Danny,
your technique is uncanny,
your videos always cover [pause] every nook-and-cranny.
But the question I assert,
is because my spectators are inert,
how did you become such an excellent extrovert?
Thanks for helping me out,
you're the reason my love is devout,
to learn what you're all about,
because you're all in, and I'm all out.
PEACE.


Godspeed, JB.

Your new set includes some iPhone effects. Do you intend to be creating more magic that's based around technology, and what new platforms, devices, or areas of technology do you think are or will be fertile ground for future magic invention?

1. Do you share your idea for an effect with other magicians hoping that they will help you make it better, or do you think that a magician might steal your effect and call it their own?

2. Are there any tricks that you created as a teenager that you still do today?

3. How do you transition from a card effect to a coin effect or vise versa?

Do you still get nervous before a performance?

What is your criteria for a good trick?

If you had the opportunity to meet and perform for any person alive or dead, who would it be?
