    How do I make the spectator care?

    The sandwich theory. If you do a bill Switch/change with your own money, then give that to the people you performed for (even if it was just a dollar.) they will be more prone to like you and therefore care about YOU more than your magic. The trick is to get them to like YOU. Your magic is an...

    Rubberbands

    Michael Ammar mentions that the best ones are usually the Alliance Crepe rubber bands and he sells them on his site.

    Magician need to know Flourishes?

    If you want to juggle cards, then by all means Juggle cards. Just forget about trying to convince people that their card "vanished" from the deck or came to the top on it's or anything else that isn't supposed to look like you did anything at all. Hell, good luck trying to do Card under Glass...

    What do we expect our spectators to believe?

    This type of attitude reminds me too much of the time when I took acting classes. The teacher was less about practicality and more about theory. Which can be fine sometimes, but a lot of the time it also ends up just being annoying. If you are really into theory, I would suggest picking up The...

    What do we expect our spectators to believe?

    The answer is going to vary widely from person to person. This type of question is a rather silly thing to ask on a magic board and is better off left in the wind. Because it doesn't really improve anything when it comes to performing, it just makes the person look like they are trying to make...

    What do we expect our spectators to believe?

    Really? You're going to quote a badly directed, badly acted and badly written film? Also, good luck getting people to enjoy your magic when you walk around with that attitude. You're just setting yourself for failure. Personally, I think we should let people believe what they want about it...

    About yesterday part three.

    100% of people who don't collect cards or care about cards will see them as just a fancy deck of cards. No matter how most people online try to justify to themselves. 100% of lay people will just see them as a cards, and why would you want them to think the cards are special. They didn't hire...

    If you can make it work it for you, then good on you. Mate.

    Michael Ammar would disagree with you.

    About yesterday part three.

    I'm sure Jamie Degrant would love this thing because he seems to really love custom cards, to the point of him even saying that he ONLY uses custom cards when he is at bookings (which is a very stupid idea, but whatever.). Personally, I think they kind of ruined the "mystery" when they showed...

    Bill in Lemon question.

    I was also looking at his paper to dollar effect and realized that it would be a good opening effect, specially if you gave the dollar away after you performed it. You would probably increase your chances of being booked by those people and also getting a bigger tip than them just handing you a...

    Bill in Lemon question.

    Which is usually better? Going from a Bill Switch into a Lemon, or Just doing a Bill Vanish into a lemon. Another thing I've been thinking about when it comes to this is that Michael Ammar said it's often better when he used his own money for the effect, because people didn't have to search...

    About yesterday.

    Infamous and Famous are two completely different words. If something is "infamous" they are usually hated and disliked.

    The World's views

    I believe Tamariz and Michael Ammar had a much better way of thinking about. Go in with the idea of giving people a gift. This could actually work out great if you are restaurant performer. Take a blank piece of paper, turn it into a dollar bill and then give it to the people at the table as a gift.

    Practice Makes Perfect.

    What's wrong with them thinking you are uncle Jim? Use that mentality to your advantage. If they don't think you are very skilled than you have a huge advantage here against them. This gives you the opportunity to do a secret move without them even realizing that you can do one. Remember what...

    Do you want to know how to make your life much easier and happier? Ignore youtube magicians completely and just focus on yourself.

    Multiple types of shows

    It's fine to try out different things as your develop a performing style, but you're going to have to shift your focus to one style/brand sooner or later. Otherwise, you'll run the risk of burning yourself out way too quickly and you most likely won't be able to get that much return for your...

    At the table online lecture series

    That is true and there are quite a few magicians who tend to ramble and get off topic pretty fast. Roberto Giobbi had a habit of doing it during his lecture, David Williamson did (but it actually made the lecture much more entertaining and interesting.)

    Walk-around for children

    Silk Magic, Sponge balls and Crazy Mans hand cuffs are pretty much the best things you can do for kids. But with two weeks to get an act together.. I can't really see most of that stuff being any good by then.

    At the table online lecture series

    It wasn't a "Bad" lecture, it was just that Michael Ammar even mentioned that he had 4 other things he wanted to get to, but couldn't because the time constraint. And yeah, Joshua Jay did kind of talk a bit too much during it. I also think the Penguin lectures have spoiled some people with the...
