    Performing Questions

    I have a few opening lines when I approach tables: "Hi, is everyone enjoying themselves tonight? (Proceed to open flaming wallet) My name is Rick Everhart and I'm doing a little bit of entertainment for the guests this evening. Would you all like to see some close up magic?" And then I take out...

    Trying to find product/gimmick

    At any point in time was the box "set" down on top of a stool or other item?

    Nerves with the palm

    I've been performing 18 years and have never palmed anything other than the clear bubble that you get in the Wonder Bubbles trick ha ha. I think it is a very powerful tool in an arsenal yes, but nothing I have even felt the need to use in my show or performances. I wouldn't lose sleep over it...

    Publicly Pricing

    David nailed this post. :) I'm not recapping this, but will just give you a small piece of information on a scenario that I deal with. Being in an IBM ring with all members within a half hour radius means there are about 20-25 of us magicians competing for business in my area. If I publicly...

    The downfall of magic club's

    Our magic club/IBM ring is almost 20-30 members strong. 2-3 lectures per year, road trips to Abbott's and magic auctions are a must and are a really good time. We also try to attend conventions together. Just showing up to a monthly business meeting is boring. We keep the business portion short...

    Kid's Birthday Advice

    Another thing to always keep in mind for future birthday parties is be sure to get the age range of the children attending. This can vary significantly and alter what effects you take to your birthday party show. What entertains a 5-7 year old may be a little different then the 9-13 range child...

    When can one call him/herself a magician

    Here is an interesting theory/idea. I don't ever really call myself a magician. I refer to myself as an entertainer. Just my opinion. I don't go around telling people that I am a magician.

    Expect the Unexpected! It Can and Will Happen

    Two shows over the weekend and each had a different Surprise for me which we will get into. This thread is not to embarrass myself but more of a "This could be you someday!" Show 1 - Friday Evening (MOVE IT!) I arrive a half hour early to set up for a small stage show for an audience of about...

    Pics from this Weekend Show

    Thanks David. I play Chariot's of Fire and make the monkey swing from Rope 1 to Rope 3 as I slowly put it behind my back....groan groan. As the kids yell, "You're just turning it around." :) Obviously he swings to the middle rope as the climax and the kids go nuts for him. Ha.

    RIP Harry Anderson

    I used to perform his Gang of Four effect. I didn't know him personally.

    Messing Up Big Time

    Yes, if you perform long enough you are going to make a mistake, error, an issue with a spectator or have a prop fail at some point. It just happens and there isn't much you can do at times. I've had a time when my force card wasn't the right one, but I didn't realize that they weren't holding...

    What was the first trick you ever learned?

    I bought a D'Lite from Broadway on the Beach, Myrtle Beach. I made everyone watch the magical red light at my fingertips for days. :) Ha.

    Backdrop/Curtain For Kids Shows

    A lot of older guys will use Jet Sets from Abbott's Magic in Colon Michigan. They are fast and easy to set up and you simply slide your curtains right on the rods. They fold down and are easily transported. Others use the spider frame back drop that unfolds and you can put the really nice...

    Books regarding improving performance

    Correct me if I am wrong but 9 years olds are typically in 4th grade right? Unless she is reading on a high enough level I am not sure she will truly get an understanding of the written text. I don't know your daughter or her comprehension level. Most 9 year olds can read the words on the pages...

    Blackpool Magic Convention

    I have never been there; however, everything I have heard from people who have attended had nothing but the best things to say about it. My mentor, Ed Ellis, has been over there twice for the convention.
