    Nobody told him to give up, we've all given him ideas that will be better than having constantly deal with people telling him "No" or other such words. Co-Workers, Friends, Family, Hospitals, Senior Centers are all better ways of getting your feet wet than just approaching people at the mall...

    Trying to Start Restaurant Magic

    When performing restaurant magic there is no chance that you are going to be performing for 5 hours straight. Most guys who do restaurant magic are only there for an hour to two hours at the most. Specially when starting out, otherwise you run the risk of completely burning yourself out right...

    The main concern of this thread as been discussed. Rick gave a few good examples(Co-workers, Family, Friends), Krab gave a few (Senior centers, Hospitals, etc) all of those are better/easier places to get experience from. The problem with approaching random people on the street is that you are...

    Think about like this. When you go to the mall/store/whatever, You are on your feet and usually not in a mood to be bothered by a stranger. you want to get to the store, but whatever it is you and maybe meet up with some friends for lunch. The reason we have mentioned that places like the...

    The one thing with Hospitals that you are going to have to be weary of is if you have anything where THEY have to touch the prop, you will most likely have to get rid of it right away afterwards depending on the wing you are performing in.

    Here is what you do. Take a set of 3 quick effects, and then go volunteer your time at a Senior Center. It doesn't matter if when you start performing you are awful or awkward. Even Dai Vernon was awful and awkward when he first started performing for people. Just get your feet at Senior Centers...

    Difference between revealing and teaching?

    There was a point in time when youtube was actually a decent service, much Ebay. They both had their times when they were good and trusted. But over the years Youtube started going down hill fast and over the last year or so they've made it so that anybody can file a DMCA claim against you and...

    Depends how old the person is, but seeing as most people here are in their teens. I'm going to agree with you on this.

    Youtube is also dealing with a ton of copy right issues, and other legal issues going on. It's find that you think they are great, the are after all paying you to post videos on there so you are obligated to kiss up to them.

    Well I'm also talking about doing it at upscale places or small privately owned places. It's not something you HAVE to do, but it makes the job easier and the experience at the restaurant much less awkward. work smarter, not harder.

    Eugene Burger had a better idea. Instead of you doing the approaching, the wait staff does it for you. He said that it worked better because it got rid of the awkward element of approaching tables and it made what he does seem much more interesting. Also, it takes out the whole idea of people...

    Difference between revealing and teaching?

    Comparing the Michael Ammar Easy to Master series to youtube is pretty stupid. The Easy to Master series is actually taught by somebody who knows what they are doing and has been the best lecturer around for years for a reason. Youtube magic is just taught by pre-teens and teenagers who...

    20 minute routine

    It's fine if you do card magic, just treat it as a closer. Do things like Sponge balls, copper silver/etc and then the last/final thing they see is something like 51 to pocket/card to wallet/etc. This way you are treating everything else as a vehicle for your card magic and they aren't feeling...

    45 days and you don't have an act. Back out and tell them that you cannot do because you aren't prepared.

    Help me !!!

    You never mentioned what type of show they are expecting you do. Do they want you to entertain people in lobby or do something else. Also, two months can fly by really fast and you don't seem to understand that it's not nearly enough time to come up with a decent show. If I were you, I would...

    ebooks vs real books( notes,hardbacks)

    Both of them have their strong points and weak points. I personally love holding a book in my hands and reading it, but with Kindle and many other ebook readers you can now have a large library with you on the go, the books never get that yellowish tinge to them and can you imagine trying to...

    Difference between revealing and teaching?

    On a somewhat similair note. I didn't actually find my mentor till I was in my late 20's. But, that was due to me being broke as a teenager (and not into magic till I was in my mid 20's fully) and due to the fact that I lived in the middle of nowhere at the time. The one thing I can say now is...

    Difference between revealing and teaching?

    The main problem with learning from guys on the internet is that a good majority of those people on youtube have no idea how to properly perform the moves they are teaching. I'm talking about things like angles, timing, misdirection, and proper technique. If you were to see those guys go out and...

    Difference between revealing and teaching?

    I would say it's a 50/50 situation. Being a spectator is great and all, but it's nothing close to working your ass off on a routine and having it go exactly the way you planned or better. With me seeing other magicians. I either get bored or enjoy watching them for their entertainment value...
