    Over coming the fear of performing in public.

    There's not much we can say on getting over that fear, its purely psychological. Either slowly enter the water by performing at school for friends and let people gather 'round. I cannonball right into my first performance for a crowd. For me it was better to get it over with.

    Spectacle or substance? how do you perform

    So even at base level, when you are at the point of asking them "hey wanna see something", substance is automatically required then? From the audience perspective I mean. Like in a movie if they see a vin diesel they expect spectacle not character acting. If they see morgan freeman, people...

    Magic For Kids

    now you see it now you don't by bill tarr has a basic and a more advanced sponge ball routine in its pages. You should be fine with that as far as sponge ball. I won't recommend a DVD because usually its the same things you can learn from a few books just really overpriced and shipping and...

    Actors on acting: Performance acting as art

    Here is a video of a table of great actors discussing the question, is acting art? What relates directly to us is when they talk about PERFORMING ARTS. Which is what so many of us claim to do and what we aspire magic and cardistry to be. A legit performing art. Very interesting conversation from...

    Where's your creativity?

    Im not speaking about creating methods, im talking about directly the performance and execution of his effects. Its essential to his job, I would assume. To set himself apart from the rest of the magicians to continue to get gigs and clients. He HAS to make time to be creative with his tricks...

    Too Much Consumerism in Magic

    I agree with you there. I haven't been on the market since my return. The last trick I bought was... I can't remember. But i've been looking through magic sites and I see seven version of bill changes. A hundred MORE ways to tear a card and restore. and so on. I've also seen so many darn "the...

    Where's your creativity?

    Good thing we don't base what we read off what it SOUNDS like. Agree with what opinions? i've done nothing but ask questions. I am frustrated with most magicians. I hear and read too much talk about advancing magic and I don't see a hint of it. All im doing is asking a simple question, is there...

    Where's your creativity?

    If they don't want to be creative, thats one thing. But I do not believe that for a second. That goes hand in hand with the excuse of " im too busy to workout". I get the same BS excuse from my clients and they never ever hold up.

    Where's your creativity?

    if this forum was a zoo,the cardistry section warning sign would say DO NOT TEASE THE CARDISTRY STUDENTS: their minds are just as fragile as their bodies and they do not take criticism well. But I digress, im rambling. this is mostly about creativity with magic tricks. Not just card tricks and...

    Where's your creativity?

    As i browsed around the forums since my return ive been disgusted at the "advice" ive seen on performing. One guy straight up said "just do angle zero, wounded, stigmata and distortion." The names of the tricks might be different but the outline is the same. name a luandry list of mainstream...

    Angle Zero = Stage Effect?

    instead of suggesting tricks to buy im gonna say for angle zero bring in a assistant from the audience to pick the card and really show what your gonna do. Always face the audience. speak out loud. please be coherent and don't play an average joe magician.

    Swag

    Whats that for? do you want criticism on your technique or what? Its just another flourish video with a pair of hands and crotch shot. Your not performing for anyone or attempting at forming a short film with this. Its just another generic, cookie cutter flourish video. Would you like some...

    Jason England VS. Lennart Green ?

    We might also be reading too much into this, he might just have been bored and posted something for the sake of it.

    Jason England VS. Lennart Green ?

    what does that even mean who would "win"? Magic tricks can only be judged by opinion and based on technicality the one with most experience is the clear winner.

    Too Much Consumerism in Magic

    Not at all, if you leave the forums and internet as i did that entire time I was gone, magic is very much alive in our spectators eyes. They don't see any of this. I never get asked about the masked magician, or if my tricks can be bought,etc. I have NEVER had a spectator say that they have seen...

    Spectacle or substance? how do you perform

    You assume that an effect with substance has to have a long script then? And,so you think they can feel a sense of amazement and question reality from a magician simply showing a card effect or random trick? I've seen alot of spectator reactions from the magicians who stare at their hands or...
