    insight on this vanish?

    For starters that was a very ignorant thing for anyone to do especially given the military attitude so many cops have now days (shoot first, ask questions later). Then again, this is obviously a staged bit so there goes the idea that the punk is actually doing anything resembling actual magic...

    Any ideas for this?...

    Yea. . . just send me his brother so I can play around with some concepts first ;-)

    How do you answer the question "Do it agian" ?

    Though it's been years since I've done close-up on any regular basis I did have a rule of thumb that was very simple; always have at least two ways of performing the same effect and with very few exceptions I always had two or more alternatives; even today with Mentalism, I always have a means...

    Confidence?

    It's a form of stage fright and the ONLY WAY AROUND IT is to just do it. . . jump into the pool and swim! The issue with an adult is that you think you might be judged harder when in truth, it's your friends and peers that will be more harsh on you than most adults will e.g. if you are already...

    Mentalism Through an Essay

    Go to Abbott's Magic and get a copy of Eddie Joseph's MAIL MENTALISM, I've used it for PR for years. It's going to be quite challenging to create something interactive when done in script form, if you could present a video report or even powerpoint you might improve the odds a great deal.

    Is street magic worth it?

    I loathe "ambush" magic in any form, it's unprofessional, imposing and invades people's space. As has been said, 90%of those that do it SUCK! They are unpracticed, trip over their tongue half the time and aren't comfortable with the routine and handling it. Yes, it is an excellent way of...

    N. L. P.

    Ok. . . not to put you down but, there's this thing out there called GOOGLE and if you type in your question you can find answers; here's an example: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF-8#q=conversational%20hypnosis...

    The works of Milton Erickson will take you more in the direction I think you're wanting to head i.e. Conversational Hypnosis.

    Stage Name

    You can get away with using a name for a while without the DBA but if you start working regularly under that name and getting paid, you will legally need to make that change and become a company by said name. This is how most performers protect themselves, actually going to the level of...

    Stage Name

    Actually, your real name is perfect. Too, if you do take a "stage name" you will need to take out a DBA (Doing Business As) which will cost you about $250.00 to make the name/business legal. I point this out because this is the legal way of doing such a thing unless you go through the courts...

    Performance?

    Christopher has the plan. . . especially if you think yourself a "Mentalist" in that we rarely need much more than what the brain can contain and one or two "basic" skills like Muscle Reading and Cold Reading techniques. However, I do tend to carry an SUC type wallet with me most of the time in...

    Teamwork.

    This style of act isn't all that new and it can work well so long as the two of you learn how to play off one another; study the old comedy teams like Abbott & Costello, Laurel & Hardy, Conway & Korman, etc. Decide which of the two of you will be playing the "straight" side with things and...

    Did anyone else catch this?

    Mike is a MAGICIAN doing Mental Magic, he's not a MENTALIST in fact, he's hurt mentalism significantly doing stuff that's he's done on TV . . . I'll give him kudos for being able to deal with the parameters set on him for AGT but I cannot be supportive beyond that. As a rule, he stinks at...

    is this even possible?

    I love how magicians toss out the term "Cold Reading" not knowing what it actually means. . . sure, there are some psychological nuances afoot in this -- "Filler" as we all it -- stuff that fleshes out a routine and transforms it from being a "trick" into a mental miracle. As TeeDee points out...

    Must have Magic books

    I understand that logic but I and others found it easier to learn from the Bill Tarr books and given how few actually read now days. . .

    Penn and Teller Revealing Magic?

    Fact is EVERY major performer of magic is guilty of exposure on some level, it's only become a major issue in recent years due to the Youtube 12 year old mental giants tipping commercial pieces and of course my old chum Val donning his mask and doing the same (usually revealing the least used...

    Must have Magic books

    This post should be a sticky and used regularly the only books missing are. . . Now You See It/Now You Don't I & II by Bill Tarr Illustrated History of Magic by M. Christopher

    Penn and Teller Revealing Magic?

    In the early days they exposed the linking rings and several other classic bits of magic. . . I was there, I saw them doing so. But it is also when they introduced THE ROSE and had magicians gobsmacked. Over time they changed things around to where they tipped their own creations.

    Magic to your advantage

    You're opening a can of worms here. . . Yes, there are psychological techniques that can be used in order to gain advantage in negotiations, some of which stray into the grey areas when it comes to morality & ethics; then again, in today's world no one seems to think a thing about taking cruel...
