    Not Impressed? I need some advice.

    Next time directly engage her in an effect. And then blow her mind. Perhaps your performance/presentation wasn't up to par. Mitch

    Is the Performance of Magic as Personal...

    Why? It's not hard, music makes money, films make money, magic doesn't (not as much). It's less of a sure thing when it comes to magic. It's often been viewed as much more of a childish hobby rather than a form of entertainment. More of a birthday party event than a mainstream money grabbing...

    May 2009 :: YouTube : Angel or Demon

    While yes, exposing effects ain't great it's not going to do anything to magic. Listen, barely a small fraction of your audience will go through the effort to search up an effect and learn the method to it. I really used to think that this "Youtube exposure" was going to be the end to magic but...

    Is the Performance of Magic as Personal...

    Yes, it can. Like music, film, theatre; magic is a form of entertainment that pulls on the emotions of an audience. It's up to the performer to evoke that sort of emotion. If you watch a bad film, then it won't stick with you. Now if you watch a tremendous film then of course you will remember...

    Shapeshifter

    Keep practicing practicing practicing practicing. You'll get it soon enough. Try positioning your hands a little differently. If it's not working then you're doing something wrong. Mitch

    Magic Shows on TV: Your Picks

    I've always been such a fan of Blaine's show. It really inspired me to get into magic. He is a top notch magician and he performs for real people in real locations. That's what I love about him. I remember loving the show "Mondo Magic". I'm not sure if any of you remember that show, it was...

    Performing For Kids

    Keep it short and visual! Kids love colours, anything with hankerchiefs, balloons, and etc. will work wonders! Maybe get working on your cups and balls routine :) Mitch

    Card On Ceiling As a Stand Alone Effect

    I think that stretching out the effect to 7 minutes might be a challenge. Not that it can't be done but I wouldn't recommend it. It's a rather short effect and by itself I doubt you'd be able to captivate your audience for a full 7 minutes. Though if you have a well thought out patter and...

    Performance Theory

    Someone's probably going to punch me in the mouth but am I the only one who thinks that learning how to present YOURSELF from someone else's book is rather... foolish? I mean, if one wants to learn how to overcome shyness perhaps they can learn wonderful techniques to do so from books then all...

    What a Break Taught Me...

    Well I wouldn't say that I'm full fledged back into magic. But I'm slowly but surely picking up my cards and fiddling around with things. It's really more of a hobby right now and that's all I intend it to be. Though it doesn't mean I can't have fun doing it! :) Mitch P.S. Good to be back.

    What a Break Taught Me...

    For a good many months I had taken a break from magic as a whole. I had to concentrate on school and my filmmaking. I was hesitant about taking a break from magic because I thought I'd never feel the same way about it. I thought I'd wake up one day and throw away all of my books, DVDs, and...

    What can WE do to improve the forums?

    What everyone has to do is make it insightful. Post meaningful responses that come from the heart. We'll read those and we shall be able to learn from everyone. Because that's what the forums are for right? Learning about the art of magic. Mitch

    The Invisible Aces

    I don't know what the beef with the OP is but I'll try to critique the video. First of all, I couldn't hear your patter because of the abysmal audio. Get a microphone so we can hear you please. Don't just use the mic on your digital camera. As for the moves, part of it seemed "fidgety" and as...

    April 2009 :: Proudly Presenting

    Funny you ask this. There's a performance video of Pressure on the main page. In almost every video I see I see the same thing. It's lacking any heart. They're not throwing themselves into the effect. It's like they're standing a few feet back because they're uneasy about themselves. If you put...

    Very nice. Would've liked to see some better patter but it's in its beginning stages. ;) Keep it up! Mitch
