1) When you create an effect, and are content with the handling, do you start performing it stand alone from your other effects or do you incorporate it into an existing routine? Or do you create whole a new routine to accomodate it?

2) If you were to meet one of the great magicians of old, and could show him / her one effect that summarises your contribution to modern magic, what would it be? And why?

3) When coming up with a new trick, how often do you end up discarding the idea (at least for the moment) because you can't seem to make it work / practical?



(By the way, thanks for the palming tip you gave me at Blackpool, helps a lot :>)

So my total three:

1. Do you do any daily rituals to help you stay in the game? Such as finger exercises...
2. When you're creating a trick, do you set out to create a trick or are you just "fiddling" about and manage to discover something?
3. What has been your inspiration in magic? Was it a somebody or a something? Also, Magic starts of as a hobby, what made you decide you wanted to do it as a profession?

my questions:

What did you think when you create the effect?(pressure)

I ike your magic performances but who are you in the real life-- what do you do when you have free time?

When you perform a trick or just practice tricks, do you belive it?
 
What was the funniest moment (Magic or Other) you've ever been apart of? (Like something you couldn't stop laughing about.)

Are you a fan of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

How do you feel about the direction magic is currently going in? (There seems to be more variations on older effects than new creations all of their own.)

1. "Outside of the box" is a term that's overused these days. My question is, what's inside of the box? What do people need to think outside of?

2. What's your position on doing magic under the influence (of alcohol or Prince)? Any cool stories?

3. Would you rather:

-Only ever be allowed to use dimes for coin tricks OR have crayons for teeth?
-Do tricks the masked magician has revealed OR have newspaper for skin?
-Find a magic lamp containing Shaq from Kazaam or Robin Williams from Aladdin?

1.) How do you keep track of your current projects and ideas?

2.) Do you remember how it felt the first time you learned the secret to an effect?

3.) What are your thoughts on the Kennedy Assassination?

Thrive for the impossible

Hey danny, I have been a fan for awhile an love ur material, but i have 1 simple question,
" What motivates or pushes you to create, or mold something into an effect that seemingly defies explanation an seems impossible, such as PRESSURE."
 
Sure, I'll bite.
Hey Danny! Sup? (That's not a question, unless you actually want to answer it)
1. How's your foot doing big boy?
2. Why did it take so long to finally become a Theory11 Artist?
3. Do you have any upcoming projects that we don't know about?

Danny,

Now there are those certain tricks that usually would have gimmicks. Because of these gimmicks alot of people do not feel like carrying it around and using them as much in a routine. Also, without gimmicks maybe a very sensitive angle or etc. For instanse Panic. For me, in my opinion it is a great trick and very clever gimmick, it's just that I do not always feel comfortable carrying it around or using it. So with pressure I wanted to know the capabilities of this effect and, would most magicians beable to feel comfortable doing this? Now I know being a magician for more than 4 years that every trick takes pracitce, but even when perfected would it be just one of those effects I would feel comfortable using daily in my routines?

Thanks,
Jake
