    Essential Reading on Presentation

    Its not cheating out the beginner in presentation out of good stuff but just kind of giving him/her a guide to which books he/she should buy first, then when reading books like Magic and showmanship or Acting for magicians etc they would have these guidelines to decide if the book is good or...

    Essential Reading on Presentation

    Like I said I wanted to strip the list down to the essentials. While for example Absolute magic is an amazing book, its rare and adding it to the list is just teasing the reader. The other reason I chose Nelms over Fitzke, is Nelms has a lot more experience in the field of theater and drama...

    Essential Reading on Presentation

    "How did you do that?" Responses:

    Thats exactly what I do for my own mentalism, but recently I saw this podcast by Penn Jillette (Penn says) and he was saying how his wife saw this mentalist who did The Amazing Memory Test and a couple of predictions all under the title of reading body language and perfect memory. When she came...

    "How did you do that?" Responses:

    Tough topic, I personally don't like leaving the audience to think what ever they want to think. Its just a personal preference. So sometimes if I have a gig or party before I perform I just tell everyone I am a magician, everything you see is done by devious methods that you will not see or...

    One of the greatest close up magicians had small hands, Max Malini. He could hardly cover a palmed card or even do a colour change properly with out showing the borders of the playing cards in his hands. So what did he do? He made his own techniques for Side Slips and colour changes, he would...

    Hmm, I don't think he Houdin was requirted to put down the revolt...but Some Arab tribes claimed some had supernatural powers, so they sent Houdin to test their claims. In fact, as the story was told in Magic And Showmanship, he showed the Arabs a bullet catch out side a public square.

    Vloggin Some Theory

    10% Trick, 90% Magic

    Presenting something about the mentalist? I am confuzzled, in mentalism I find most effects are demonstrations of what the mentalist can do....Reading body language or psychic powers etc etc. Same with magic but as most magicians present their magic...Sleight of hand and the ability to deceive...
