Our Appearance
I think it all depends on who your character is. Would it actually FIT your character to don a suit an tie? Yes I agree that you should be able to adapt and overcome. But if it takes away from your character, I would rather say stay true to who you are as a performer.- Mike.Hankins

This Video Has Magicians PISSED!
2 things... First of all, I have to be honest. I have seen Paul perform at Jeff McBride's house and I am not gonna lie as I said...he used one or two of those lines. :) But, there is nothing wrong with any of those lines...which brings me to my second point. It's not about the lines you are...- Mike.Hankins

Quadrant or Rapture
I will have to side with Bowsell on this one. Having played with the Quadrant gimmick and having seen in person the Rapture gimmick...I would say Rapture hands down. Though I don't want to discredit how good Quadrant is either...it is in fact very good. But I think that the look and feel of The...- Mike.Hankins

Denny and Lee Magic in Maryland
Denny has been a friend and mentor of mine for over 10 years. I have had the opportunity to spend countless hours in both his old shop as well as his current one. (Can't tell you how many times a bunch of us would jam till 2-3am)... Please follow the advice! If you are ever in the...- Mike.Hankins

What do you consider a "Holy Grail"?
It's not about what WE as magicians think is the "Holy Grail"... It's about what the SPECTATOR thinks is the "Holy Grail". But how often do we ask our spectators what effects THEY liked the most? I don't care how fair the effect is. I don't care how how clean it is... I care about what my...- Mike.Hankins

What makes a great deck review?
I bet most people, including myself, wouldn't know the difference between decks if first saw them, and then later were blindfolded and told to guess which deck was which... :) Jussayin...- Mike.Hankins

Obsession with a "Borrowed Deck."
Borrowed deck. Not a borrowed deck. Who cares if the deck is borrowed. The real question is: are you skilled enough to perform WITH a borrowed deck?- Mike.Hankins

Magicians are like "cover bands"
Look... I didn't mean to come off so "to the point". When I was in high school, I was given the nickname of "Ace". Not for what you think. Had nothing to do with magic. I was probably one of the biggest Jim Carrey fans you could have met back then. It was borderline creepy...lol. But I loved...- Mike.Hankins

Magicians are like "cover bands"
This bugs me. A ton. This is what is wrong with the entertainment industry. Not just magic, but performance art altogether. But, since this is a magic forum, and we are discussing magic, allow me to attempt to throw in my 2 cents worth... Just because you are technical with card, coins, ropes...- Mike.Hankins

Magicians are like "cover bands"
Interesting that you brought this up. I was just having this discussion with Mr. Rob Anderson the other night, how being a magician to ME is like being a DJ. Now, for all 6 of my fans, 3 of you may not know that I am also an accomplished DJ. So when I make the comparison, I am basing it off of...- Mike.Hankins

What Do You Use A Double Backer For?
There are sooooo many effects that utilize a DB. In fact, my rendition of Cannibal Cards (found on this site), may or may not use a DB. Lol. Also, with the post just made about the Hyper Card, you should check out Daryl's Hyperbentalation. It uses the Hyper Card technique along with a double...- Mike.Hankins

Do you just do card tricks?
I think this question COULD be asked to the magicians who do not establish themselves well enough first. There have been moments in my bar gigs where I will just perform card effects. No it does not bore the audience and no, I do not get asked if I do "more than just card tricks." I have built...- Mike.Hankins

Mentors?
I just spent some time with my friend Mr. Dan Hauss and we were having this conversation... Dan grew up with great magicians like Dan White and b.Smith. They all motivated each other to strive for perfection with what they did and still do. I HAD Eric Jones who lived only a short drive away...- Mike.Hankins
