    July 2009 :: No Doubt About It

    No, really you're not. I get people telling me this every time I perform. From audiences telling me I would win 'America's Got Talent' to 'You should be performing in Las Vegas!' Not to brag, but it really is a common occurrence for me. If I let that get to my head, I would never have to work...

    July 2009 :: No Doubt About It

    Oh man, I typically don't participate in these discussions, but this is a good one. Anyone that's been doing this long enough, professional or amateur, has without a doubt had those feelings. Wondering if they're actually good, or are people just being polite. Wondering if the method to a...

    My Busking Experience

    Jeff, Congrats! You're out there doing what many on here will never do... PERFORMING MAGIC FOR REAL PEOPLE! AND MAKING MONEY! You've already taken the big leap, and now there's no where to go but up. By the looks of the pictures, you're doing a decent job too. Those were some pretty good...

    Magic is such an expensive hobby...

    Definitely...magic is very cheap compared to other hobbies. I race dirtbikes, and that is expensive. A new bike (2009 YZ450F) is about $8,000.00 OTD. I can easily dropped $200-300 each race weekend. Rebuilding the engine every year, about $1,500. New tires every couple months, $200. New gear...

    Volunteer Interview at Hospital

    I hesitate to say this, but if you're not sure what a thumb tip is, then maybe you should re-consider this whole idea. If you're inexperienced, then I suggest making friends with the other magician that performs there and get some pointers from him. Best. Steve

    Volunteer Interview at Hospital

    Yea, I get the majority of my magic supplies from MJMMagic.com. Great prices and great service. Sounds like shadowing that other magician might be a good idea. Make the most of it! :cool: Best. Steve

    Fork in the Road

    The thing is, there are no set rules to becoming a full time pro. Everyone is different, and no 2 scenarios are the same. It depends on where you're living, what kind of magic you do, who you know, motivation, skill, and as small as it may be, just being lucky helps a lot. Truth be told...

    Volunteer Interview at Hospital

    Sounds like all you do are coins and cards. That will need to change. The kids you'll be performing for aren't going to want to watch a drawn out card trick. Think colors and props. Sponge balls, chop cup, silks and a TT, maybe a change bag, magic coloring book, etc. I'm not saying you'll...

    Hired for Another Gig

    Regarding business cards, it would do you some good to pick up a copy of the most recent Reel Magic Quarterly. Simon Lovell has a bit in there about cheap ass business cards. I've been to many lectures/conventions where magicians are passing their cards out...and a lot of them are crap. Spend...

    Mirage Et Trois by Eric Jones....

    Mark, 2 things. For one, the point of this review isn't to describe the trick in detail. I feel that how it is described by the creator is good enough for me. With all due respect to Eric, Mirage Et Trois is not an extremely difficult routine. If you and I described the exact effect how the...

    Mirage Et Trois by Eric Jones....

    Well, I'll be honest. I hate writing reviews. But sometimes I like something so much, I feel obligated. Especially in this case. I'm talking about Mirage Et Trois by Eric Jones. This isn't going to be a long, detailed review either, but most of you that know me know if I write a review about...

    Eric Jones Lecture Dates

    Eric, Any luck booking the Magic Warehouse? Let me know if I can do anything to make that happen. I'll probably try and hit up your lecture in Aberdeen, MD. If not that, then definitely at Barry's. Talk soon. Steve

    Getting Hired

    First things first, learn how to properly spell restaurant. R-E-S-T-A-U-R-A-N-T. Inexcusable, IMO. Some things Steven said were right, others were a bit off base from my experience. 1. What kind of restaurant? Let's face it, your chances of walking into a 4 star restaurant with zero...

    Business section of the site?

    So I'll shoot JB and Raiker another PM, but I wish they'd at least keep their word with giving me SOME answer. Shessh....if they're still talking about this 'behind the scenes', then I want their job! Can't be that stressful and it sure beats performing all the time, lol.

    Magic Shows And Shops In Washington DC

    The closest shop to DC is Barry's Magic Shop. It's about 30 minutes north of DC. A pretty decent shop IMO. Check www.barrysmagicshop.com for address, etc. Let me know if you're planning on going...maybe we could meet up there or something if I'm not busy... Best. Steve
