    Dealing with liars

    What type of force are you doing? And you are most likely setting yourself up for failure by getting them to challenge you. You need to change your attitude to show them that you aren't flawless and unstoppable. You need to also get on their good side and maybe do something that isn't card magic...

    Dealing with liars

    Here is how you deal with it. Don't perform for them. If they try to get you to perform for them again, just tell them "No" in a nice manner or you can do it like Dr. Cox from Scrubs. But if you really want to perform for them. Then stop doing pick a card tricks for and instead do things like...

    How often do you practice, routine,etc?

    Depends on what I'm working on and if other things get in the way of it. Sometimes I practice for a few hours a day and sometimes I do rehearsals with my scripts.

    I Need Help Finding A Sleight/Color Change

    Sounds like an old move that's pretty easy to find in the books. I would suggest just working on the current stuff he's already given you and maybe asking about it later on down the line.

    I quit magic for a while but should I continue?

    Nothing wrong with doing both, you just have to set time aside for both of them.

    Card Cleaner/ How do YOU clean your cards?

    Unless you have plastic cards, you won't able to clean them. I just reuse them for however long I can keep them in half way decent working order. A small silica gel packet usually brings them back to semi working order and that's all I need. Cards in themselves were never meant to last that...

    Tablehopping experiences

    You have way too many routines and effects. Really all you need is 3 or 6 MAX. 1 short coin routine, 1 short sponge ball routine and maybe one short card effect. Though If I were you I would look for things that are simple and super direct. Card to Wallet, maybe a coins to pocket routine and a...

    Card Routine

    What is with all the shuffling and fidgeting with the deck? This is a question your spectators are going to be asking themselves and when they walk away, they most likely come close to a real answer.

    Tell me about your first time...

    One more thing is to get them to Email you all the information after the phone call. This way you can easily write it down and save it just in case they try to pull a fast one on you. Same reason to make a copy of the signed contract and bring the copy with you. If they try to pull a "I never...

    Tell me about your first time...

    Also make them wait for you to "check your calender". Even if your entire month/year is completely free. This was something my grandmother was told to do when she was selling Pampered Chef items and doing bookings. It works just as well for Entertainers.

    Tell me about your first time...

    Water can also help calm down your stomach too. Though try not to over do it, otherwise you'll end up shaking and trembling for OTHER reasons. One thing that has helped me is to meditate for about 5-8 min before doing anything stressful. It tends to allow you to focus more and shut out all...

    Tell me about your first time...

    If it's going to be your first couple of performances, then it's fine to have some overlap with your effects. People generally don't care if you performed the same stuff at the last 5 or so tables that night. Specially if it's your first couple of nights there. Also, remember to take your time...

    Thoughts on Strolling/Restaurant work.

    You can actually avoid that if you just do one routine per table. Do a three phase ACR, end it give them the card, chit chat and then if the food arrives it's super easy to just step to the side because you are already done. Rinse repeat for each table and it will "seem" like you are doing...

    Thoughts on Strolling/Restaurant work.

    5 min is the MAX, sometimes you may not even have that much time too. Try to structure your routines so they can end quickly and reset instantly.

    Lets Talk...

    You're over saturating people when you do too many card tricks. Normally, for me I'd get rid of the card magic for the restaurant work and maybe only have TWO card effects that you would do for bookings.

    Thoughts on Strolling/Restaurant work.

    One thing I would suggest is keeping your performances short and treating them less like a full show and more like a teaser trailer. You want people to just entertained enough to the point where they don't feel like you've tried to throw everything at them, but also short enough to where they...

    Thoughts on Strolling/Restaurant work.

    I would suggest having three quick routines and maybe 1 or 2 "special" effects for VIPS. Also it is better to done with your show light years before the food arrives so you can a little time to talk to the people at the table and hand out business cards. (Also this makes it easier to step out...

    Tips, review, banter

    Actually I would suggest ignoring reading magic reviews and focusing more on reading reviews of things that are a lot more subjective. Like reviews on art, Poetry, and perhaps cooking.

    New Ring Through Finger...maybe.

    It looks "OK" but really Garret Thomas already beat you to it and actually has a much better routine than simply just pulling it through one finger.

    Webcam

    Usually with a webcam you just use it for practicing moves and rehearsing.
