    Mentoring for a TV Show

    Thanks man. Probably not, but I'll post some videos here so you'll be able to see it.

    Mentoring for a TV Show

    Thanks guys for taking interest. I'll be shouting very soon, I just need to get the format of the show first (like is it gonna be a one hour special, or 10 episodes of 20 minutes etc.)

    Mentoring for a TV Show

    Hey guys, I have this great opportunity to have my own TV show that is actually gonna go on national TV. I know that David Blaine, Criss Angel, Derren Brown, Dynamo etc. have like a team of creative people behind them to help them with effects and presentation (ie. Calen Morelli, Dan White...

    Hypnosis help

    I agree with you, but I wouldn't take it as a starting material as it is considered outdated by many people. I've been doing hypnosis close-up and on stage for 3 years now, and I started with "Trilby Connection" DVD set. It is excellent starting point, but you should move on to other sources as...

    5 Ways You're Boring Your Audience to Tears

    I would "sticky" this thread. Also when it comes to presentation, what is like a nail on a blackboard is when a performer has a lot of "uhhh's and ummm's" in his speech. That is why you need to know what to say and when to say it, exactly.

    For the mentalists here, I'd like your opinion.

    Even though that's the method he used the most in the DVD, i find it to be the weakest one. It works much better with a pad or business cards. While we're at subject, "The Ghost by Paul Nardini" looks good, however I don't own it so I cannot say if it's really good or not.

    Biggest Wallet= Best Magician?

    Of course it's fair. Because the sleight of hand guy can also buy the same tricks. So it's fair, since everybody has a choice. However, I think, no matter how good the prop is, if presentation is lacking, no one will be entertained. They may be baffled and puzzled, but not entertained. Which is...

    Biggest Wallet= Best Magician?

    Exactly. One of the best posts I've read in a very long time. Well done. I was going to start a new thread about this topic and presenting magic, but I guess this will do also. One of the things that kills magic and gives it a bad reputation is the way we present it (duh). Paul Harris also...

    Best Release This Year

    I just don't understand why is there so much attention for The Code, since it's been out there for soooo long? It's been in his book "Short, Punchy and Mental" and also "Get Nyman" DVD set (correct me on the names of the DVD and book if I'm wrong, I'm pulling them of the top of my head now).

    Salt & Pepper Magic?

    For three - It's his first and (let me use my mentalism skills here) last post, so I guess it's either a spam or a troll.

    It's exactly the same as "Twisted Sisters", just examinable at the end. The effect goes pretty much like this (without presentation): You present two packets of cards, one red backed and one blue backed. Spectator chooses one of them, and you (or the other spectator) are left with the other...

    Yes, I was thinking of doing it with ESP cards also, but I didn't know how. This is a great idea.

    Hey guys, I need a little help. I've had a creativity block with an effect for a VERY long time, presentation vise. The effect is "Duplicity" by John Bannon, which I perform purely as a piece of mentalism (destiny or choice influence, what would have been if... etc). Although it is meant to be...

    How to be confident

    Apart from all the great answers you already got, I'm just going to add that you need to KNOW EXACTLY when and what to do and say. You need to practice your speech as much as the slights, if not more. I'm always nervous when I know I'm not prepared well enough, when I didn't practice enough. On...

    Close-Up Standing Ovation

    Funnily enough, so far, I've ONLY done it in USA. And I agree, completely, it's far easier and more comfortable to just keep them where they were, doing what they always do etc. But don't be scared to try out something new. When I watched James Brown, I was thinking "how does this guy puts on...

    Close-Up Standing Ovation

    Right, gotcha. Apart from the fact that I do ask for it a little more directly, when I say "One last time for the standing ovation", it's not THAT much different. If you don't like the idea of doing that for the standing ovation, at least take the psychology of it and apply it to something...

    Close-Up Standing Ovation

    Ultimately, fun. Reading all of the replies from you guys, I think I didn't get my point across very well. You think I'm forcing them to do it like I'm holding a gun to their head - it's nothing like that. You think they feel sorry for me like "awww poor guy, let's give him a standing ovation...

    Close-Up Standing Ovation

    Now that's the other thing, if you don't see the point of it, then we can agree on that. But just because you don't see a point in it, or never tried it, doesn't mean it's not working or doing what it's supposed to do. Don't you agree? And also, there are MANY different types of restaurants and...

    Close-Up Standing Ovation

    I'm not the one underestimating anything here. And it's really not that subtle. Overestimating the average person's knowledge of stagecraft? So average person has never heard of a standing ovation at the end of a stage show? Because I'm there. You don't have to take my word for it, just try...

    Close-Up Standing Ovation

    Really? Because not ONCE that ever happened to me. You probably think that I came up with this idea while flourishing in my underwear doing crotch shots on a web cam. I tried this out SO MANY times. Not ONCE did anyone ever complained to the staff, or to me, or to the other guests. And again...
