    Magic is pointless.

    I think when "we" as magicians stop having fun and the excitement has diminished...then it is time to step away for a bit. Magic will always be here. Life comes in phases. Sometimes magic gets put on the back burner due to family, life, etc. but it will always be right there waiting to be...

    Can Quantum Space have refills?

    Hey quick question since I don't own Quantum but have also been looking at it. Out of those 2-3 weeks of performances; how many times were you doing it per day? I'm just curious how long it would last for strolling gigs.

    Business side of performing

    If you'd like I'll send you my contract as a file and you can edit it to suit your needs. Just let me know. Christopher T has pretty much nailed everything I was going to tell you. Most small gigs are going to pay you in cash which is super, but libraries and companies and restaurants are...

    Best street magic product for around 35$

    Ha. I understand buddy. I'm just harassing you a bit. David is just trying to give you more bang for you buck. Even if you find 2-3 effects out of a book you are ahead of the game.

    Are Magicians more into just buying downloads and gimmicks these days vs. reading literature?

    As far as learning actual mechanics of a sleight or magic trick I tend to do better with videos; however theory of magic, the business aspects, etc., I will typically delve into literature. I have tons of DVDs and a nice size library of magic books. I tend to find that learning from multiple...

    Pics from "A Night To Shine" last Friday Night

    Thank you. This was another example of why it's good to make friends with the onsite photographer. She did these for me free of charge and emailed them to me no questions asked.

    Ha! Yeah, this event is always a blast. It's my second year in a row working it and they already booked me for next year too.

    Why Card Magic?

    On the contrary, I try to deviate from too many card tricks in my sets because that is what "magicians" always perform for people. They only want to see you find the card, it come to the top, etc. before they are bored. My strolling sets only contain one card effect each and 2 other types of...

    You are welcome ;) Some of us have been doing this nearly 20 years ha ha.

    Best way to greet Bride and Groom?

    When I am hired to perform strolling at a wedding, all of the talking/booking is done prior to the event, months and then again days ahead of time. This day is about them not you. You are in the background entertaining guests and making sure everyone (especially the people who aren't dancing and...

    Magic for kids. I need a little help.

    You can easily teach a child some basics like Professor's Nightmare using cheap rope or clothes line, styrofoam cups and pom pom balls from Walmart or a craft store to show a beginner cups and balls routine, etc. You don't need to spend a lot of your own money to teach a young child who may or...

    How to Create Custom Cards

    In my honest opinion, custom cards are okay, but there really isn't a huge amount of laymen or magicians looking for them,sure, there are some, but not as many as you think. When I perform I typically just use regular bicycles from Sam's Club/Costco and have been doing it for the past 19 years...

    Cheap Business Card Holder/Protector

    These hard plastic gum containers make great business card holders and protectors for in your gig case, coat pocket or whatever. Obviously there are nice expensive flashy ones out on the market as well as "Out to Dinner" Clips which I use, but when I'm just tossing a bunch in my gig case...this...

    Best reactions....

    Sometimes simple is best. Magic with every day objects blows people away. Objects that scream, "You bought that from a magic shop." are still cool and spectators enjoy them, but they know it is a magic prop.

    Putting a Show Together... HELP!!!

    Always open with something visual. I would not come out on stage and do a card trick right off the get go. Looking at your list, that would mean coming out to linking rings set to music perhaps. Your finisher should be something strong as well. I wouldn't end on a card trick. Perhaps perfect...

    Stand up or sit down?

    I'm the same as Christopher T. I practice standing because I need to know my angles and height at which props and cards need to be held for proper viewing. One thing to keep in mind is your angles when you approach a table and they are seated and you are standing. Think Invisible Deck and you'll...
