    Thoughts on Social Media Magic?

    I think performing original magic should be the basic goal of any magician whether you're only doing it for friends and family as a hobby, or especially if you're selling yourself as a working professional. I have always thought of the instructions that come with tricks as a guideline and...

    Thoughts on Social Media Magic?

    Sure. Buy anything from Sans Minds. Most of their stuff looks great on camera, and doesn't really hold up in real life.

    YouTube Rant (Moderator Note: Strong Language)

    It's okay. Not everyone has a good sense of ethics. We get that. This is why we educate on to what those kinds of ethics should be and kick to the curb anyone who doesn't want to play along. Sure it may not be a big deal for some, but those that are okay with it seem to be in the minority...

    GOALS: What's Yours in Magic?

    We all have goals for ourselves in magic, so I want to know what some of your goals are? My goal in magic is to be a super star on the Las Vegas Strip. To become a household name with multiple television shows, and specials. I want to do it just to say that I have. After that I want to...

    What is your power?

    I love Paul. Good friend and one of my mentors. My super power is Mind over Matter. Through skilled dedication to mental development I've harnessed the body's amazing natural properties and heightened them to mind blowing levels.

    YouTube Rant (Moderator Note: Strong Language)

    Really? The spectator has to know what they are googling. So unless you're telling them what the effect is really called then how are they finding it? Christopher is right. You have to account for issues with explanation and either accept that it will happen, mitigate response when it...

    YouTube Rant (Moderator Note: Strong Language)

    Anyone can do a trick. Very few people perform magic. Exposure is really about ethics. Did you create that effect? No? Ain't yours to expose. Unless it's public domain, but since the majority of exposure videos are from kids, what kid understands public domain? I digress. If you did...

    Best video course for beginning cardistry + magic?

    Oh I admit that I'm in the minority on this one. I make no bones about it. I hate cardistry, and my opinion isn't going to be for everyone. Not saying those kids who do it aren't sickeningly talented. Just not something I buy into. I suppose there are people out there who hate the taste of...

    Best video course for beginning cardistry + magic?

    First off Cardistry is NOT Magic, and Magic is NOT Cardistry. I don't care what anyone else tells you Cardistry is nothing more than a visually appealing, self gratifying, manual demonstration of magical masturbation; done because it makes the performer feel good and no one else. That isn't to...

    Book Tests!!

    I perform two book tests. One is Cody Fisher's comedy book test. The other is so good that I refuse to share it openly on a public forum. It's so damn good, and so under represented that I don't want others catching onto it who are not worthy of its power.

    Eye color?

    Yeah Biokenises comes to mind. It was discontinued because it was scratching peoples eyes because it is one of those effects that not everyone can or should do.

    One of THOSE fans

    Have you ever had one of those people that come up to you after a show to tell you how much they enjoyed your magic? Feels pretty damn good doesn't it? You walk out with a little skip in your step thinking like "Holy shyte! I'm a rock star!" Then at your next show you see that same person...

    Business Cards- Out To Lunch Ideas!?

    I go a bit creepier of a route and use them alongside a voodoo routine I reviewed a couple years ago. The spectator writes a name of the mark on a business card, spells the names using pictures of voodoo dolls and the last picture matches a surprise prediction that has appeared on the back of...

    Prove It

    Magicians are gods incarnate if you think about it. We possess skills and abilities that make us appear to be non-human. Over the years this has built up quite a bit of intrigue so if one makes claims to be a magi it's only natural for the layman to demand proof of this power. Also magic is a...

    5 rules every close-up magician MUST break

    That was a good read! Thanks for posting that. However I think the "rules" so to speak shift and change a bit with what your intentions are for magic. For example the "Don't practice, and don't have a routine" rule maybe great for a hobbyist, or the guy whose full time job isn't relying on...

    I have been gone way to long

    Well I've moved from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, went thru a divorce, and started my life over. Worked some TV spots, and now on down time for a national tour with Masters of Illusion LIVE. It's been busy!
